Apparently this is the place for wedding cakes as the shop always seems to have more wedding cake consulting going on than bakery sales. I've sampled a few bakery items here.. Almond croissants, petit fours, cinnamon buns and their new hand held pies.

Everything is OK, but nothing is stand out. I find it all is a little on the too sweet side. The almond croissants don't touch the ones at my favorite spot uptown.

The hand held pies are not as good as hubigs, but a for effort and for going ahead and filling a new Orleans void.
