Dream sweets
As pre-holiday schedules become increasingly busy and 鈥渢o-do鈥� lists grow longer, a popular Boston College Dining Services initiative is making it easy for campus community members to check off the time-consuming task of baking. Its Holiday Bake Shop, led by 热点爆料入口DS Executive Pastry Chef Tim Fonseca, is offering decadent desserts via online order, to be enjoyed at home with family and friends, or given as seasonal gifts.
The Bake Shop's top-selling Holiday Yule Log is 'a chocolate lover's delight.'
The menu of mouth-watering treats includes the Holiday Yule Log鈥攁 centerpiece-worthy, rich chocolate cake with vanilla and chocolate frosting鈥攁s well as a variety of palate-pleasing cakes: carrot with cream cheese frosting, almond Heath Bar caramel crunch, and classic vanilla cheesecake, as well as gingerbread Bundt cake with 鈥渟now glaze.鈥�
