Ordering from a micro bakery works differently from a walk-in shop with a full cabinet: bakes are scheduled around each order, so a couple of days' notice is the norm rather than the exception. That patience is rewarded — ricciarelli are at their most tender fresh from the oven, while biscotti are twice-baked so they hold their snap for dunking in coffee. Small home kitchens typically work every ingredient in one space, so anyone with allergies does well to flag them when ordering.
Pauline's began with birthday cakes for family and friends and now ships its made-to-order Italian baking from Eastern Beach across the country.
