Young home-based pastry brand Bald Baker started last year and instantly got recognized for its chewy cookies. Cy Ynares’ mom worked for Larry’s Cookies in Washington DC and time spent at the shop straight from school eventually had him develop an affinity for it.
Bald Baker currently sells four cookie variants. As for his latest offering, well, it’s not exactly what you’d expect. Cy has been indulging his interest on dessert bars, brownies in particular.
And so far, two good ones have come out of his busy kitchen — the Glazed Donut Brownie and the Salted Caramel Coffee Brownie.
The latter was actually an easy build. “I just thought that salted caramel and coffee was a match made in heaven and that it would work perfectly in a brownie. It did.” And with just a few trials, he was able to tailor the bar according to his and his friends’ liking.
The Glazed Donut Brownie, on the other hand, was born out of an accident.
“I had leftover donuts last December and I was making brownies at that time. I just added it and it tasted pretty good.” This involved much more work. It was after 13 revisions to the recipe that he finally ended up with one he was very satisfied with.
With brownies that are just as delectable as his cookies, we, in behalf of many other people who love Bald Baker’s pastries, hope that his sweet musings never stop.
