Dad’s Day

Jun 122014

I don’t know if this stat is still true, but back when we all had land-lines the busiest day for long distance phone calls after Christmas was Mothers Day. Want to guess what the busiest day for collect calls was?

Yep, Fathers Day.

Us Dad’s (and step-dad’s) deserve better. Show the man who stepped up and made a difference in your life some love.

Bring him a cake or deli platter. Believe me, it’ll make his day!

Hi Sheana & David, The Irish stew was delicious. We couldn't finish it all yesterday, so I have some in the fridge that I'll probably finish tomorrow. Didn't have time today. And the soda bread was very close to what my Irish grandmother used to make, and delicious too. Thanks. :) C. Hartnett

I want to thank you so much for the lovely birthday cake that I was fortunate to win. I picked it up this morning, and as I was having guests for dinner the timing was perfect. Everyone loved the cake......especially me! It was truly delicious, and looked amazing too. As I'm the baker in our house I usually don't have a birthday cake, so having the one from your shop was an especially nice treat for me. Thanks again! ~Judy Hutmacher

December 2015 I am one of the newest members of the Hillcrest Bakery Family…and I do mean family! I believe this is what makes working here so enjoyable. I have worked in the food industry for over 30 years. I have been an employee, a co-worker, owner and the manager, but this is the first time I have ever felt like a part of a family at work. I truly feel that Sheana and David Moyer run this business with care, support and a genuine concern for their customers and staff. Like any family there can be miss-understandings and yes even conflict, but Sheana and David, like any good parents, listen to all sides to come to a resolution that helps heal and make us stronger as a family! I have been with Hillcrest Bakery and Deli since March 2015 and hope to continue being part of this family for many years to come. Sincerely, Michelle Wallace

I really must tell you how much my wife Sandy and I enjoyed our dinner tonight. Our dinners exceeded expectations. Tasty, generous portions ( each of us has leftovers for tomorrow or the next day) and the colors were attractive. Small green peas, sliced chunk carrots, and mashed potatoes, and very nice cranberries.. A generous serving of white and dark meat for sure. And the stuffing was excellent. Just properly spiced. Haven't tucked into the butter tarts yet. We certainly couldn't beat it. And clean up was about 5 to 10 minutes. A huge thank you for your work. Much appreciated.

Hello,

I picked up the Baby Shower cookies that I had ordered.

I was expecting the standard rattles and booties that I had been shown when I came in originally. To my surprise you had created cookies to totally match the baby carriage on the napkins. I was so impressed with them, they are so cute I hate to hand them out.

Thank you for going the extra step and making them so special.

Sheana and David, this is a little late, I’m afraid, but I wanted to write to tell you how much we enjoyed the turkey dinners your staff provided for our family at Thanksgiving. The food was delicious, the servings generous, and the cost was reasonable even though we missed the cutoff date for the discounted price. Our son ate his entire dinner, Clayton and I shared one portion (and had leftovers for a second meal), and sent the third container home with our son (giving my motherly concerns about bachelor diets great comfort)! Thank-you so much for providing your customers with these much-appreciated special food offers. Clayton and Donna Shultz

Hi Sheana, I just wanted to let you know that you did an excellent job of the Sombrero cake I ordered!! Not only was it magnificently decorated but it tasted yummy too!! Many thanks, Lu (Pearson)
—Sombrero
Dear David and Sheana ~

Thanks so much for THE BEST TURKEY DINNER EVER!

We all had great compliments for the chefs/bakers; I especially liked the stuffing, as it was tasty but not overpoweringly seasoned ~ thank-you! Carrots were nicely sliced and tender; good gravy and a generous quantity; lovely cranberry sauce ~ looked homemade. Certainly a dinner to remember.

HAVE A WONDERFUL EASTER!

There is a bakery in our little town / They call it Hillcrest just walk on down / Sheana and David they run the ship / They are kind and their fair just don’t give them no lip / People walk in and we know them by name / They sit for a treat, that IS why they came / You walk in the store and the aroma is grand / It is like you have just entered fantasy land / Muffins and brownies Danish galore / Start at one end and walk through the store / Breads and scones not to mention the buns / Its ok to eat it all, just make sure you go for a run / Now to the deli side, what can i say / Homemade soup for you new everyday / We will make you a sandwich just for you / Guaranteed to your liking and fill you up too / The staff are like family, all so sweet / They work so hard to deliver the treats. All and all it is a great place to work With the staff and product, wow what a perk -Gloria Hare

Sheana, The cake was awesome!! You did an amazing job. It looked fantastic. My 2 year old was so shocked and thrilled to see her two friends Pooh and Elmo on the cake. The adult guests loved the taste of the cake and that it was light and not too sweet. Yes we had left overs, but also a few family members that volunteered to help us with them. Thanks again. Stefanie

—Awesome Cake
I'm glad that I took the lasagna home from the bakery this week. Each bite had a surprising different flavor of veggie and cheese that came through,not hidden under tomato sauce. Because of the large serving, 3 meals were made up with a serving of greens on the side. It was a double winner for me and I would get it again. thanks, Jean

I just wanted to say that the Pina-Colada cake at my party it was a great success! Everyone enjoyed the rum flavor icing with the pineapple in the butter cream centre and the coconut on the outside. I have had your hazelnut, mocha and tiramisu cake. I can now add the pina-colada cake as another delicious success. Thank you so much for the great products you create, they are a pleasure to devour.

Just wanted to thank you so much for doing such an amazing job on my sons birthday cake! You went above and beyond with the detail and we appreciate it so much! It was fantastic! Thanks again! Ashley

I just wanted to send a BIG THANK YOU for making our gorgeous cake for my husband’s 40th Birthday party. The cake was delicious but what I was absolutely WOWED by was the cake design. I requested a casino style cake and I could not believe the amount of work and detail that went into this cake. Your cake had more detail in it that my own wedding cake that cost three times as much. I was a first time customer, and now I’m a lifetime customer!! (and so are about 30 of our closes friends now). Stefanie

The White Rock Fire Fighter’s Charity Association would like to thank Hillcrest Bakery for their continuous support in sponsoring our annual Pancake Breakfast with Santa. For the past six years, Hillcrest Bakery has provided us with a generous donation of a gingerbread house kit, baked and ready to decorate. The gingerbread house is always an exciting part of our event. Not only does it go home with a lucky raffle winner, but it also helps us raise thousands of dollars! These funds have supported local charities and programs within our community. The Hillcrest Bakery’s continued support is much appreciated and we look forward to working with them on future events.

Just wanted you to know how much the five of us enjoyed “the bird” and trimmings. Without all your efforts and preparation, we would not have had an Easter dinner. So ~ many thanks. Being of Scottish descent, I added a “turnip dish”. The pie was delicious, as always. Marilyn & David

An awesome and delicious gathering place. J Ellen, White Rock

Since I was old enough to drive, 28 years now, I have been driving myself to Hillcrest Bakery to buy my little cakes, cookies and treats; I am a creature of habit……Hillcrest Bakery is my habit. My sweet tooth calls for cake, not just any cake, but Hillcrest Bakery’s cakes.The atmosphere is friendly, and consistent; the feel is family and down home. I look forward to our continued sweet relationship; my taste buds rely on it. Sandy Allen, White Rock

Hillcrest Bakery is by far my favourite bakery in White Rock/South Surrey. It reminds me of the era of great bakeries from my childhood when we visited Vancouver. It has many of the favourites that you rarely see at bakeries these days such as Vanilla Squares (with oodles of cream and a so sweet icing); or the “real” Nanaimo Bars (not the Costco kind- which are good – but these are exceptional) or my favourite is the date turnover in an oatmeal cookie. But best best best of all is the macaroon chocolate mound! It is super fresh coconut mounds dipped in chocolate – they make it better than any place I recall and I must ration myself. When I found this bakery (long ago), it re-booted a little piece of my memory of what bakeries used to be like and why I love them so! There is nothing better than a good old, fashioned bakery.

I have been a customer at Hillcrest Bakery for a number of years now and have found their bakery goods excellent and it is also a great place to stop by for a relaxing sweet or cup of coffee. The staff are very accommodating and the bakery projects a family atmosphere. Jim, White Rock

Always friendly, always good! They even take custom orders. They made mini hot-dog buns for my kids birthday party. How fun is that?! Teresa, South Surrey

Thank you for doing such a great job on our Hello Kitty cake!! It was a huge hit – all of the little girls were oohing & aahing over it & all of the parents were asking where we got it. Not only was the decorating fabulous the cake was good too – not too sweet. A&E Bird
