The first Indoor Market of the fall is behind us and now we\u2019re gearing up for the second one on November 25.
\nWe\u2019d like to thank our vendor, David Heard, for being such a wonderful DJ on November 11. He gave an amazing, heartfelt speech honouring the lives of the brave and heroic Canadian soldiers who dedicated themselves to protecting the values and freedoms we hold so dear. He also played the Canadian anthem just after 11 am as a tribute to our veterans.
\nDuring the rest of our time at the Armoury, David played a thoroughly enjoyable selection of memorable tunes, which brought out the dancing spirit in a number of people. Thank you, David, for contributing to making our first Indoor Market a day to remember.
\nOne of the new vendors at the Indoor Market is a bakery, Ginger\u2019s Cupcakes and Desserts, which is relatively new to Aurora. While the bakery is new to the Market, the person representing it at the Market is no longer new to us.
\nShe is the delightful Sarah Salomons of Cherrylane Farm who sells her delicious Dutch Pofferjies and Cherrylane\u2019s sour cherry concentrate, dried cherries and chocolate covered cherries at the Outdoor Market.
\nThe two ladies behind the bakery are Anna, who started the bakery and Amanda, who joined Anna about 2 \u00bd years ago. Here is a brief description of each of them.
\nAnna started Ginger\u2019s Cupcakes and Desserts in Richmond Hill a little over five years ago after recognizing that there was a gap in the nut-free bakery market. She was born and grew up in Montana in the United States. She spent a lot of time baking with her mother and grandmother and attributes her love of baking to those early years.
\nShe attended Culinary School in the U.S. Family is very important to Anna who has been married for over ten years and has two children. In her spare time she loves to rock climb and is part of the Richmond Hill Ki-Aikido Club. Anna\u2019s nickname of \u201cGinger\u201d, because of her red hair, is responsible for the bakery\u2019s name.
\nAmanda began working at the bakery about 2 \u00bd years ago. Then, about one year later, the shop in Richmond Hill became so busy that Anna invited Amanda to join her in the business so they could expand.
\nAmanda grew up in Peterborough with her mom, dad, and two sisters. She, too, grew up baking with her mom, grandma and great grandma.
\nAmanda attended Culinary and Pastry School where she refined her baking techniques. She loves to spend time with her family. She also likes to travel to new places and always searches out the local bakeries and coffee shops to see what goodies they offer.
\nThe Aurora branch of Ginger\u2019s Cupcakes and Desserts offers a variety of nut-free desserts for sale as well as accepting custom cake orders, their specialty. The bakery also sells coffee and savoury items with a sit down area where they can be enjoyed.
\nDo stop by their table at the Indoor Market to sample some of their wonderful offerings. Sarah will have some of Cherrylane\u2019s cherry products available as well.
\nAt our next Indoor Market on November 25, our music will be provided by Aurora\u2019s own \u201cWillin\u2019 and Abel\u201d band coming to us in partnership with The Aurora Blues Festival people. The Aurora Farmers\u2019 Market and Artisan Fair want to thank Jamie MacDonald and his team for their generosity in helping to arrange our musical entertainment on several occasions this year at both Indoor and Outdoor Markets.
\nSee you at the Indoor Market!<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
