Bohemian Baker

First off I want to say I was really excited about this bakery, good quality ingredients at a great price! However I’m very disappointed in the customer service. I spoke to the owner Holly on several occasions about doing my wedding cake she was so sure that she would do it and my date was available, I wanted to have a contract wrote up to ensure my date, but once I asked for that she never returned my calls or emails again, after several attempts over a two month span I went with someone else. Might be quality food but if the customer service sucks you won’t get anywhere.

So what’s the big deal about Bohemian Baker? All fresh ingredients, real butter, no preservatives, heavy whipping cream… sounds like my list of bakery items when I attempt to bake something. The difference though between my baking and Bohemian Bakery? One word: Presentation! My baked goods are lovingly called «low light» desserts by my husband because like Bohemian’s desserts it might taste heavenly but mine just look horrible for some reason and are best consumed by candlelight. I never learned the art of presentation. Bohemian’s creations are not only a luscious sight to behold making you drool just looking at them but thankfully they are full of rich natural non chemically preserved goodness!
If I had a special event and needed a showstopping gourmet tasting dessert I would definitely choose Bohemian Bakery. Thank you Holly for choosing to create your masterpieces with only the best ingredients!

I discovered the Bohemian Baker aka Holly (not to be confused with Ms. Holly of Sweet who was also at the Bohemian Bash) at Unilocal’s Bohemian Bash. It does not appear that there is a physical shop so you place your order online and pick it up at the Spice & Tea Exchange in Winter Park. She had quite a spread for sampling at the Bash and I tried everything. She uses only natural sugars and everything was delicious!!! I started with the apple crumble which looked soggy but wasn’t and OMG did it taste HEAVENLY. My favorite was the amaretto soaked brownie. It might be one of the best desserts I have ever eaten and I am generally not wowed by brownies. I expected it to be heavy and sickening sweet but it was quite the opposite. It was light in texture and delightfully but not sickening sweet with the amaretto being just right, not overpowering the brownie. As I write this I am thinking I might have to track this lovely Holly gal down and beg her to make me some of those brownies!!! In looking at the website it also appears that she offers cooking classes although nothing is scheduled as of November 2013. She also apparently won the 2012 Taste of Winter Park award for desserts.
