Happy August, 2009
Greetings!
Every one here at the Little Aussie Bakery wishes all of our customers a wonderful August. In this edition of our Newsletter we will be announcing the winner of our Brunch for two for all those who updated their profile with us. We have a lot of good news for dessert lovers. Learn about our new green containers. Letty still has places for our monthly cooking class. We are now doing outrageous chocolate brownies with a twist, and while they aren't strictly a cake, they are so good they will be Augusts cake of the month, and you will now be able to order fresh chocolate eclairs every Friday, just don't ask us to ship them.

Chocolate Eclairs
I am pretty biased, but we do a dam fine eclair. You'd go a long way to find a fresher or tastier eclair, whether they are gluten free or not.. We now make eclairs every Friday, but don't be coming in at 6.30pm and asking for eclairs, honestly expecting to get one. After we finish laughing, we might be able to offer you a little eclair vapor in a test tube, at an exhorbitant rate. Seriously you will need to order to avoid disappointment, we don't expect to have too many spares by the time we open for business. So make it a successful mission, and order the day before at the latest.. You can order on line or by phone, but either way you will have to pick up, eclairs just don't travel well, other than by tummy. Remember if you order online, they won't be ready till Friday, and it is always best to pick up and enjoy on the day.
Small: $ 3.95 (discounted pricing for orders of more than a dozen)
Large: $ 4.95 (discounted pricing for orders of more than a dozen)

Announcing Green Take Out Containers
Many of our customers and staff have been on to us about the use of more environmentally responsible take out containers, and we agree. So our new containers are coming, at this stage they are primarily our cake and meal to go containers, we have turned to a product that looks similar to polystyrene, but it is largely made of grass. The only draw back is that they are significantly more expensive than our environmentally unfriendly products, so there will be a charge for the use of these containers. Our menus will reflect this, and there will be no charge until these new containers arrive, any day now.
Small Container: $ 0.30
Large Container: $ 0.40

Gluten Free Info Gem
You know in the nearly 3 years that we have been in business it never ceases to amaze me of those customers who have recently been diagnosed as gluten intolerant at what ever level, and subsequent to that diagnosis, the whole family adopts a largely gluten free lifestyle, the majority of them report that the whole family enjoys a significant health improvement, from the loss of seasonal allergies to greater mental clarity. An FYI to all those stubborn other halfs who resist, there may be some benefits in this for you as well.

Cake of the MonthWe have a rather unusual choice for cake of the month for August. We are now producing chocolate brownies. And well you might ask whether a mere brownie is the stuff of an Aussie Bakery Cake of the month. Well we all believe it has the stuff. And I guess you are going to have to come on down and try one to see for yourself. Let me tell you a little about our unusual little brownie. By a happy mistake rock salt ended up in our mix, and of course we all though that this batch was destined for the trash, but being rock salt, it didn't disolve into the mix, the crystals remained pretty much intact, so when eating this errant brownie, every time a crystal of salt is bitten into it is not salt that is tasted but an intense little explosion of chocolate. Great news for chocolate lovers, not that our brownies lack for chocolate flavor, but for the true addict there is no such thing as "too chocolaty" So come on down and sample our "humble" little brownie Individual: $ 4.95Dozen: $ 47.52 (20% off individual pricing)

Our Breads
Golden Flax Bread
This is our regular house bread it's a savory bread, the same that we use for our delicious sandwiches. It's light, it's fluffy it's nutty in taste and soft in texture. It's flavor is derived
from the fresh golden flax seeds that we grind into it every day. It is low in sodium, and low in sugar. It comes in loaves, hamburger buns and pizza bases.
All of our breads, can be sliced, wafer thin for sandwiches,or chunky thick for toasting. They don't crumble before or after freezing. They make excellent croutons and is second to none for french toast.
Raisin Bread
This is a sweet bread that comes in a full size loaf or a bun. It is best described as a breakfast bread. It is lightly sweetened, and also comes with an abundance of raisins.
Rosemary Bread
This comes both in loaves and buns, like the house bread it is rich in flax seed, light in sodium and sugar. Fresh ground rosemary leaves are added to the dough before baking giving this bread a warm Mediterranean flavor.
