Blue Diamond Riviera Maya
Playa del Carmen, MexicoEnter your email address and zip code for pricing and availability
Why Stay At Blue Diamond Riviera Maya
This newly rebranded all-inclusive resort is set on 42 secluded acres in Mexico's Maya Riviera.
The Scoop
Mexico's Maya Riviera is a hotbed of hotel development, with beach hideaways lining the oceanfront jungle. The former Mandarin Oriental, now the adults-only Blue Diamond, is one of most secluded of the bunch, with 128 rooms in one- and two-story airy villas, a 25,000-square-foot spa, and two 18-hole golf courses on 42 mangrove-filled acres in Playa del Carmen. Complimentary perks include a welcome bottle of champagne, Spanish language and yoga classes, wine tastings, and interactive cooking classes, so you'll leave able to whip up Mexican seafood dishes in the proper Yucatán style.
Insider Tips
Be mindful of the weather: summers are quiet, but often rainy with the possible hurricane threat.
Most flights into the Yucatan are through Cancún International Airport, less than an hour's drive from Blue Diamond. Give the hotel your flight information, and they'll arrange a transfer.
Preferred Airport
Arrive at Cancún International Airport (CUN) which is approximately 20 miles from the resort. Anticipate about 30 minutes of travel time.Carretera Chetumal, Puerto Juarez Km 298, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

The Lady Panther Lacrosse Club has been a part of the University for almost 20 years and has built itself into one of the premier programs in the country that competes against excellent teams from all across the country. We play against other members of the Women's Collegiate Lacrosse League (WCLL), members of the Women's Collegiate Lacrosse Associates (WCLA), as well as varsity teams from the Division I, II, and III levels. The games against other club teams in our league count in the statistics that determine whether the team receives an invitation to the regional playoffs each year. We have attended the WCLL regional tournament every year for the past ten years. The women won the WCLL championship in 2006, 2013 and 2014 In 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008,2011, 2013 and 2014 the team attended the WCLA national tournament. In 2014 Pitt won the National Championship for the first time. We look forward to a successful 2015 season and another run at a national championship!
While the team concentrates on winning games, we are about having fun on and off the field as well! We are open to girls joining our team until January, when our roster is due. The team practices at least twice a week and requires additional conditioning.

Enzo Angiolini's 'Preciosa' sandals - more evidence of the neon trend
Just in case you didn't believe me yesterday when I mentioned that bright shoes are going to be big this spring/summer, along comes Enzo Angiolini with these 'Preciosa' sandals, which are bright enough to lighten even the darkest of days. Sensibly, the designer has let the colour be the main focus of this shoe, keeping the style relatively simple, with a nice t-bar and narrow heel. They're also available in shades of purple and ivory, and are $98.95.

Louise, the interview by Glenn Beck of Mr. Bundy was not helpful to the cause. I believe it is just another example of the government flexing their muscle and being typical arrogants that they are and unwilling to negotiate with the Bundys. It will probably escalate and some on our side will take the side of government that this is just a guy who doesnt like a law from the 1860's and he's wrong. It's definitely going to be interesting how this turns out!
Looks like it's time to dig in. Equally important is to NOT give them what they need to make us look bad. Were gonna need to be careful of who we talk to and what we say!
This is going on all over the west. Here in Mont. they are using the buffalo instead of the turtle. Demo. Sen Tester of Mont. is pushing a so-called wilderness bill that will cover most of my county, Beaverhead County. We have a huge presence of Forest Service employees. Last summer they let the "Rainbow People" hold their big camp-out in our beautiful pristeen forest to the west of us. Crime, drugs and using the forest as their bathrooms was prevelant. It cost the taxpayers of the county 2 million dollars, the federal taxpayers over l million and also state taxpayers to clean up the mess they left. Where is the accountability of these bureaucrats>

VIDEO: CBS Debuts Glamorized Promo for 2 BROKE GIRLS
Last night during Super Bowl XLVII, CBS unveiled the "2 Broke Girls Spectacular," a hyper-realistic-style promo directed by famed director/photographer David LaChapelle. The spot showcased the cast of the Network's hit show 2 Broke Girls rocking out as glamorized fantasy versions of their series' characters. Check out the promo below!
The series' retro diner set was transformed into a surreal disco where Kat Dennings (Max Black) and Beth Behrs (Caroline Channing) danced to "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard, with Garrett Morris (Earl) serving as the DJ. Fellow castmates Matthew Moy (Han Lee), Jonathan Kite (Oleg) and Jennifer Coolidge (Sophie) were caught up in the atypical action as well.
LaChapelle is known internationally for his exceptional talent in creating a unique hyper-realistic aesthetic. His striking images have graced the covers and pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair, GQ, Rolling Stone and more. After establishing himself as a fixture in contemporary photography, LaChapelle branched out to direct music videos, commercials, live theatrical events and the critically acclaimed dance documentary feature RIZE. His directing credits include music videos for artists such as Moby, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse, Florence + The Machine, No Doubt, and many more. His stage work includes Elton John's The Red Piano. LaChapelle has been the subject of exhibitions in numerous leading public institutions around the world. He was honored as Artist of the Year in 2012 at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in Israel. A major retrospective of his work BURNING BEAUTY is on display at the Fotografiska Museet in Stockholm, Sweden through March 3, 2013.
2 BROKE GIRLS, now in its second season, is Monday night's #1 comedy, averaging nearly 12 million viewers per week. Airing Mondays at 9:00 PM, ET/PT, the series stars Kat Dennings, Beth Behrs, Garrett Morris, Matthew Moy, Jonathan Kite and Jennifer Coolidge and is executive produced by Michael Patrick King.

In my experience as a seasoned Spanish teacher and teaching program developer, I've found that for learning Spanish effectively one need to feel motivated by the learning process itself in order to remain motivated.
Most teachers try to present interesting materials to their students such as games, entertaining articles from celebrities or thought-provoking articles from the […]
According to recent statistics on the number of students taking A Levels in foreign languages, the take-up of Spanish has increased by 4%. The number of students taking French and German however, has fallen 3.4% and 3.8% respectively.
Over the last few years Spanish has certainly overtaken German in the popularity stakes when it comes to […]

Model-ba<x>sed design is very popular because of the availability of tools for simulation and formal verification of the system properties. When implementing a high-level model into code it is important to preserve its semantics of the underlying model of computation so to retain the results of the simulation and verification stages. In this talk the challenges associated with implementation of synchronous reactive models are discussed. A platform-ba<x>sed design methodology and implementation fr<x>amework is presented. Two semantics preserving wait-free communication protocols are introduced and corresponding efficient portable implementations under the OSEK OS standard are provided.

Kislak Fellow Surekha Davies discusses how Renaissance mapmakers devised distinctive motifs for the inhabitants of different parts of the Americas, and how images of Brazilian cannibals or Patagonian giants, for example, were careful syntheses that helped mapmakers market their works as uniquely suited for comparing the influence of environment on human bodies and temperaments.

Oh, you are right. There was a bug in the sort function. God knows why I didn't noticed it, it always seemed to work out well. Fixed in the current alpha package.
If you do not want sorting by activity at all, disable it: "Display: Frames" -> box "Reorganizing pets by activity" -> Disable
If you are sort of nostalgic or simply don't like the new design, switch to the "TooltipCombatDisplay", which is actually the old way of displaying things (type /pt ). Only difference to previous versions is that I added the pet levels. I recommend you to give the new frames a chance, they are really smart - and will get even smarter, soon.

MEMORIAL plaques to commemorate those who died during the First World War have been presented.
Ceremonies were held in Holywell and Greenfield to hand over plaques to commemorate 100 years since the start of the Great War.
The Rev Aidan Coleman, vicar of Holywell, led prayers at the ceremonies, attended by the Mayor of Holywell, Cllr Ted Palmer, along with fellow councillors.
Cllr Palmer said: "As an ex-serviceman myself, I have always been loyal to the
forces, so it was an honour to be involved in this. We have to remember our past heroes – if it wasn't for them we wouldn't be here.
"The plaque is commemorating the war itself and particularly people from Holywell and Greenfield."
Holywell councillor Peter Curtis said the plaques were something Holywell Town Council had hoped to have installed for some time.
He told the Leader: "It's a very nice area and it's a great location for people to go to and for anybody who wishes to go and visit the plaque.
"We have to remember these people – if it wasn't for them we wouldn't even be able to have a ceremony like this."
The plaques were brought to the separate ceremonies at Holywell Memorial Gardens – on Panton Place – and Greenfield Memorial Gardens – on the corner of Coast Road and Dock Road.
But they will not be permanently put into place until a later date.
Cllr Curtis added: "It was a short service with a couple of prayers.
"I was very pleased to be part of it.
"Hopefully they can be in place for many years to come, so people can remember the sacrifice made."

Partometer3D - photo measure
5,000 - 10,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By vistech.projects
The distances and object size can also be measured by Partometer App, but Partometer3D has no constrains on the camera position relative to the measured object.
The measurement plane / object plane don't have to be parallel to the camera plane.
It expands number of situations where application can be used. For example, big objects now can be measured by taking a picture from the side, objects and distances that are difficult to reach can be measured as well.
Partometer3D has the same application area as Partometer, but gives you more flexibility and power. Angle Mode can be used for roof angle measurements. This data can be used in SolarMeter app for solar energy calculations.
It has following important and distinctive features:
- measure in any selected plane in 3D space
- Length, Angle, Area, Circle Modes
- add/delete any number of measurement/ruler lines
- values assigned to each ruler line
- measure objects in different directions
- save and share you measurement
- find object ratios, if you don't not need absolute measurements
- compare object parts to each other
- use custom and predefined reference objects
- automatic reference object fine alignment using image processing
- reset reference object alignment by LONG TOUCH on auto alignment button
Partometer3D uses a phone/tablet camera and any available object with known size as a reference to perform measurement. To define the measurement plane a rectangular object (sheet of paper, credit card, custom object) is used. Image processing is used for automatic fine alignment with the reference object.
The App shows measurement results in different units: meters, millimeters, centimeters, feet, inches based on user settings. It also calculate dimensions of the object in relative units with respect to the reference object (ROL).
There is an option to make a picture and work with the still image instead of live camera view. Picture Load feature is also implemented to work with any picture from your photo gallery. Zoom View feature helps to align object boundaries accurately.
Partomter3D can be very useful if you need to measure bigger distances on the plane, where the simple ruler or tape is difficult to apply. All you need to do in this case is to place a rectangular object (credit card or sheet of paper) on the measurement plane,
make sure that the object of interest fits into the camera view and make measurements.
Thank you for your support.

App works but doesn't have a vast library of reference objects and requires you to set a frame of points over the object to get reference size. Also doesn't detect dimensions automatically. Should save dimensions of objects in the app for later use.
(62 stars)
Vistech have carved a niche for useful well written properly tested Apps that always actually work and work well. Quality Control is exemplary No uneccessary bells and whistles, it just does what it says on the tin. Keep up the good work!

Seems like it could be pretty cool. It is complicated enough to need some directions or a help file, which I have yet to find.
(62 stars)
This app seems to good to be true. Only as accurate as you define the reference object. We will be using this tool as one part of our inspection procedures.
(62 stars)
Seemed useful for quick measurements in the field but not intuitive enough. Just carry my calipers, etc is easier.

Measured object 18.5inches long. App see its only 17inches

Things got a little bit spicy at Victoria Beckham's birthday celebration over the weekend.
Beckham, who turned 40 on April 17, reunited with three of her fellow Spice Girls alumni as she marked the milestone Sunday night at London's Arts Club.
Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) and Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) joined their Posh bandmate (with husband David Beckham) for the festivities, which were also attended by Chris Martin and Guy Ritchie, reports the U.K.'s Daily Mail. (Noticeably absent: Scary Spice Melanie Brown.)

Though they reunited for a rousing performance at the 2012 Olympics closing ceremonies, one member of the Spice Girls says she won't be there for any future reunions of the '90s girl group. As Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham told Vogue Paris recently, "the passion just wasn't there."
But, similar to the cast of Friends, it turns out Photoshop can do what the real world can't: bring all five Spice Girls back to a time when girl power and friendship conquered all. Like they once sang, "If you wanna be my 'shopper, you gotta 'shop with my friends." (OK, those weren't the exact lyrics, but you know where we're going with this.)

She somehow managed to give birth to four adorable kids–and still maintain her gorgeous figure. She's also the designer who celebs such as Anne Hathaway, Miranda Kerr and Beyonce have been spotted wearing around town. But in preparation for turning 40 on April 17, Beckham decided to reveal a few things you may not know about her life.

Alex stands in the doorway and says he's not coming any closer unless she gives him $100,000 for the surgeries. Lexie's jaw drops to the floor. Alex is capable of a lot of stuff, but extorting money is a new low, even for him.
Gladys: Fifty.
Alex: One hundred.
Gladys: Seventy-five.
Alex: One hundred grand, final offer.
Gladys: You don't know how to negotiate.
Alex: I'm not negotiating.
Gladys: Oh, don't pretend to be smart, you crooked little bastard.
Alex: And don't pretend you're poor, you evil, old bitch.
Now he's talking her lingo. She agrees, just so he'll flip her ass over. I wonder if she'd buy me a horse if I rubbed her bunions?
Back at Henry's place, Teddy has come by once again, this time with pasta and a story about her latest dating nightmare: the guy had a ponytail longer than hers, a fact he hid in his online profile.
Kids, if you're going to use the online personals, do everyone a favor and don't lie or use a picture that's 10 years old. If you think your personality is so dang scintillating, it can overcome that kind of deception once you meet in person, think again.
Alex brags to Meredith that breaking the rules is awesome. But as the words are leaving his mouth, his pager goes off. He runs back to the Dragon Lady's room but she's dead. Damn it. There goes my Arabian.
While Alex is shaking dead Gladys, hoping some loose changes falls out of her pockets, Meredith runs into Adele in the lobby. She asks her how she's holding up, but it's soon clear that Adele thinks Mer is Ellis, her mother and the Chief's old flame. Adele begs Meredith, "Give me back my husband."
Honey, you can have him, but still. Awkward. Time to start shaving Mrs. Chief's head.
The Chief thanks Meredith for getting Adele into the Alzheimer trial, saying "You've done everything you can." Has she? Hmmm.
Alex doles out patient files from his African airlift to Cristina and company. Arizona stops by to say, "Good job, you!" and wanders off to play peek-a-boo with Sofia. Where's she going? Considering she started the whole thing because she was worried about breaking a promise to sick kids, and being all about third-world medicine in the first place, Arizona is oddly blasé about the children's imminent arrival. Eh. I got the same way when I hear The Real L Word was coming back.
Lexie soon finds out Alex's secret: He doesn't have the money to pay for any of it.

Who has the BEST baked (read desserts, cakes, pastries) goods within 100 miles of Boston?
- c
- cornFusion Jun 19, 2007 05:38 PM
Don't post your neighborhood bakery either - I mean - when I take a walk in some european city like Brussels or Frankfure, or Nice, or even Geneva .... there seems to be no lack of exceptional pastries - baked fresh daily and well - and presented in wonderfularrays in windows. Where is one here????
I ran into "Popover's" in Portsmouth in NH because of their wonderful display - when they first opened - and was disappointed in the baked goods (cold popovers - and they would not heat them). Popovers has subsequently plummeted to being yet another corner version of au bon pain!
Flour in Boston appears to be a candidate for this list - but they too appear to have a VERY regimented display (although the dacquoise is TDF - and would be a star in any firmament)! Overall though, flour appears to me to be "exec chic" instead of "luminescence in pastry".
The "after theater" places are VERY lame - stuff cooked the previous day (or was it last week?) .... for those who don;t know their food, isuppose.....
Your thoughts for excellence in the supreme art of bakery?
PS - there seem to be very very talented individual bakers in the area ... for example, the wedding of a very close friendhad a cake which was extraordinary - AND - strwen with rose petals all over (may have had about a 100 roses on that sublime cake).... so they are out there - maybe just out of ones reach?
I just got another extraordinary cake from Konditor Meister in Braintree, still my favorite for weddings and other big occasions (this was a milestone birthday). Delicious and quite beautiful to look at, they always make a big impression. We were eating the leftovers, guiltily, for breakfast the next day.
I've tried a bunch of flavors, haven't found a weak one yet. Some of my favorites: Cognac truffle torte with gold cake and Cognac-laced white chocolate mousse filling; strawberry Grand Marnier with gold cake, white chocolate mousse and fresh strawberries; carrot torte with walnuts, cream cheese and apricots; lemon torte with gold cake and lemon mousse; and Black Forest torte with chocolate cake, whipped cream, cherries and chocolate-cherry liqueur.
I'm not a huge cake eater, but I can't resist these.
re: MC Slim JB
Just my 2 cents... Konditor Meister is definitely a good place - but its cakes have no WOW factor. I have tried it several times and thought ... good effort ... but personally, I would give it a solid B. Thanks for the posting!
I'm so fond of Seven Stars Bakery on Hope Streeet in Providence that every time I go back there I get a huge bag of things to bring back and freeze. Exceptional items are the almond croissants and the outstanding scones. They have excellent bread, better than Iggy's imho and until B&R came around, better than everyone else too. The only thing they don't do well is their concession to lunch food: a sort of difficult -to-eat foccacia with roasted veggies. And they don't do cakes. It's not a patisserie, it's a boulangerie... of the best sort.
You're asking for one bakery that does exceptional desserts AND cakes AND pastries?
Yeah, you're not gonna find that.
As for pastries, you told us not to post our neighborhood bakeries, but my neighborhood bakery is Clear Flour, and there isn't a better place for variations on the themes of croissant and brioche in the city, and probably in the state. There's a very good reason why the line extends down the block on warm weekend mornings.
Cakes, second MC Slim JB on Konditor Meister.
I don't understand what you mean by "desserts" as opposed to cakes and pastries, but I'm assuming you're thinking of filled things. Can't help you there, because when I get a hankering for something filled, I just go to Modern for a half-dozen cannoli.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
Clear Flour isn't my neighborhood bakery, but it's a bakery that I'll drive or bike an extra half hour to get to. Best darned croissant in Boston, the closest I've seen to an authentic Parisian baguette and all manner of other interesting baked treats. If you show up around a big holiday, they'll often have specialty breads and treats geared towards the holiday (but also be prepared for an extra long line). They also have a presence at the Coolidge Corner farmer's market on Thursdays (also identifiable by the long line in front of it).
And in addition to the other fine suggestions, I'd pitch for Rosie's for cakes.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
And I'll have to go with my somewhat neighborhood bakery, Canto 6. Excellent. I don't care about creamy things most of the time, prefer Canto 6 style. Which is also Clearflour style but better IMHO, and yes I know the bread is from CF.
re: Joanie
Second Canto 6. Their pain au raisin reminds me of Paris everytime I indulge. mmm.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
I'm another who will drive up from the South Shore to go to Clear Flour. Closer to home, though, I like French Memories in Duxbury.
The Milk Tea Cake at Cafe Cakes. Classic French technique, and elegantly pretty in a a Japanese way.
re: fullbelly
Yes, I'll second the Pastiche vote, for cakes and things with icing that is. They don't do bread.
And fwiw, I don't really trust anyone who tries to do both. They're really such different species.
Mirabella's (of course) in Tewksbury. I have the pleasure of being close by too but I would travel for their biscotti and pastries and holiday pies are to die for. Everything is wonderful.
The minute I saw this thread title two places jumped into mind -- oops, three!
In no particular order, because they are so different...
1. Modern Pastry, Hanover Street, North End. Oh my! The cannoli, Quaresemale, Parigina, all the cakes... so wonderful! not to mention Sarah's world-famous Torrone! Do NOT confuse with Mikes, which has the worst pastry I've ever experienced. EVER!
2. Delphin's Gourmandise, Marblehead. The best croissants this side of Paris. and all the rest of his offerings are amazing. beautiful and delicious.
3. Konditormeister, Quincy. the best and most wonderful wedding cakes around.
re: ChefJune
Does Delphin's in Marblehead still exist? I thought it had long since closed and that he'd even moved all of his teaching to Cambridge.
re: Allstonian
Delphin has closed his retail shop. I know he had plans to expand the school at the Marblehead location, but I have a feeling he abandoned those plans after he started teaching at CCI.
And, while on the subject. I love the baked goods at Sweet Tooth in Melrose. My compliant is they always have the same items. She used to make a cranberry/oatmeal bar that was just unbelieveable, but no longer does and won't give up the recipe. SIGH
I'll go along with others here who have said that most bakeries who try to be both boulangerie and patisserie don't do both very well. Even Clear Flour, which has branched out into a wide variety of fine sweet items over the years, tends to stick with simpler goods such as brioche- or pastry-based items, some very nice cookies, and the occasional pound cake. They did some wonderful cream puffs for a while, but I haven't seen them in some time. The rustic fruit tarts are excellent.
Sadly, there are very few good patissiers in town anymore. (Why IS that? I still miss Delphin's in Coolidge Corner after all these years, but why aren't his students at Cambridge Culinary picking up the baton and opening shops of their own?) Japonaise Bakery in Brookline and Cafe Cakes in Watertown both seem to be good examples of French-inspired Japanese patisserie, and there seem to be several bakeries that specialize in special-occasion cakes (BFP has already seconded MC Slim JB on Konditor Meister - I will only note that we liked them enough that they did our wedding cake, which included layers of both the strawberry Grand Marnier and the lemon torte. However, Braintree is too far away for us to be able to patronize them except for the most special of special occasions, particularly since we don't have a car.)
You might also check out some of the Italian bakeries such as Modern in the North End or Antoine's in Newton, or the Chinese bakeries - Yi Soon Bakery in Allston has several big fans on this board, and Eldo Cake House in Chinatown used to be great but I haven't been there in years so I don't know if they're still up to par.
- Clear Flour
- Modern Pastry (North End and Medford) just top notch.
- Lyndells (not for pastries but their cakes are great.)
- Hi Rise (Bread and some desserts)
- Rosie's really good cakes and cookies.
- Danish Pastry House (good for some things not for others as they don't use butter in everything) Medfor and Watertown.
- Athan's in Brookline and Brighton (their Jamaica pastry is my favorite chocolate dessert in Boston) other stuff is only so so.
- Never been a big fan of Konditor Meister I think they make a waxy, old fashioned butter cream frosting that never really did it for me. They do some excellent wacky decorating jobs is you like that though.
- Tabrizi Bakery Watertown Square. Amazing cream puffs, some pastries, and very tasty, exotic Persian cookies that I have seen nowhere else.
- Yi Soon. One of my all around favorites. Emphasis on Taiwan style goods, but also just great all around sweets.
- Gotten give Iggy's honourable mentions, but really just bread and crossaints.
- I think Flour in the South End is overated. Their stuff just doesn't TASTE that good. Likewise for Cafe Vanille and Finale.
As a rule, in Boston their is nothing on the level with Paris or Vienna (I just had a hazlenut mousse and Gerard Mulot in Paris not too long ago). But if you pick and choose at the places above you will have some tasty stuff.
re: StriperGuy
Thanks for the list! In return, I offer .... decadent Schwartzwalder Kirschtorte (aka black forest cake) - authentic and well made, at Lala's Hungarian in Manchester, NH. Haven't seen one like it anywhere (including at the so called German Bakery known as Riverwalk)... ;) ... a masterpiece
I have three must tries in the southern New Hampshire area. I'm in the Burlington Mass. area and work and hob-nob in Boston. Sometimes, the bakeries just don't work for me because I get sick of the same Crisco laden items that area dominent in our "Italian" bakeries. Sometimes the"gourmand" style bakeries fall short for me. I don't know why but the Nashua/Amherst area has attracted some great bakery talent. These in particular:
Frederick's Pastries: www.frederickspasries.com
Outstanding cakes, Euro-style small pastries. He's been around a while and I've ordered many a cake that never disappointed. His nut diamonds and smaller items are all five star.
Dutchepicurebakery.com - Another Amherst NH bakery with very fine quality. They also supply bread and desserts to local epicurean shops and high-end restaurants. In particular the group of restaurants under the "Michael Timothy" moniker.... Superior restaurant. So that should speaks volumes of the quality of this bakery.
Third... and this is my favorite little-known place. The Riverwalk Cakery and Coffee House. www.riverwalk.com. I don't think their website features what I feel is their exquisite assets. Cakes. pastries. They are a coffee house... roasting their own beans and they've recently added panninis. But the star of the show is the Mrs. who is Euro trained in pastries. Mr. is from Germany or Vienna or Austria. Mrs. makes surreal cakes, wedding cakes like you'd see on foodtv. But in the cafe' they feature squares, cheesecakes, cookies, and the most authentic and amazing apple studel that I have had since last in Europe 20 years ago. Just Amazing. And she makes an Apple Coffe Cake that if I got married again.... a stack of these would do find for a wedding cake. The place itself is immaculate .. in downtown Nashua. Very fine quality. Some of The best products I've had in New England. If I could persuad these folks to franchise... it would be killer in Harvard Sq., Brookline or Copley.
re: Buddernut
Dutch Epicure ...another good one! I get their almond croissants .... very very good - and this is one place I would say is a solid good bakery. Their cakes seem to have a ways to go though. For example, he knows how to make a good almond croissant - but an almond cake is another thing altogether ....
Just out of curiosity - do you remember where your friend's wedding was (with the rose-petal cake)? I did one like that last fall!
I'm sorry that I can't really answer your question - I've not been wowed by a bakery in a long time. I have a great one in my head, though, so stay tuned, North Shore!
As far as desserts go, EVOO in cambridge has some excellent ones. Their molten chocolate cake with toasted marshmallow cream is probably the best I've ever had.
re: sugarmamie
Its been about 5 years now ... the wedding was in Newbury, MA. That cake will never leave my memory! Thanks for your contribution - I agree that Boston needs a bakery (and let me say that Modern and other "italian" cafes have given up on quality - have you seen where their fresh-frozen pastry comes from??? .... BINDI .....ugh!!!!! )
Vikki Lee (Boyajian) is a wonderful baker. She had a shop in Needham for many years, and recently, after a few years hiatus, opened a shop in Belmont. I have not been there but her pastries are out of this world as are her cookies and cakes. I understand she makes a fabulous wedding cake also.
re: emilief
La Scala on Federal Hill in Providence is magnificent. It looks like something you would see in Europe. Mario Batali did a piece on them for the food network a few years ago so I went. The pastries and cakes are simply beautiful to look at and taste. What I love most that they make are the almond biscotti. They are very very crunchy and hard. I love really hard biscotti. They take the crumbs from the last batch that they bake to start the next batch ( like using a mother) in vinegar making. Federal hill has lots of great places especially Venda Ravioli but La Scala is the best bakery.
re: emilief
Once upon a time (and a very long time ago it was), Vikki Lee's in Newton WAS a place I would have rated "A". Divine dacquoise, First-of-the-season Strawberry cake with buttercream TDF and the staff were willing and able to meet requests (such as making a gateau St. Honore) .... alas .... the place is no longer at that caliber and I would be hard pressed to give it a B rating
I don't think anyone has mentioned Burdick's - it's a limited selection, largely but not exclusively chocolate, but what I've had there has been excellent (with the occasional exception of stale macaroons). Note that the Harvard Square store has been closed for renovations, I'm not sure if it's reopened yet.
Other than that, I agree with the general sentiment that few places do everything well and almost none do both bread and pastry well. I think that Flour does some things very well -- their short-crust pastry is superb -- but the one time I had a brioche-like bun there it was terrible - doughy, heavy, and sodden, with a sour edge. Hi-Rise is a mixed bag as well - the chocolate and vanilla loaf cakes are excellent, as are the breads, but some stuff is just so-so, and they're probably more rustic than you're seeking. There's the little place on Cypress street outside Brookline Village - I can't recall the name but I recall their cream puffs being excellent; don't know if anything else stood out there. I'd also be curious about Cafe Cakes based on Limster's recommendation of the milk tea cake and some thin almond cookies I had there that were subtle and excellent.
re: MichaelB
Burdick's is still closed as of last Tuesday, which was the last time I walked past.
re: MichaelB
The New Paris Bakery is the little place on Cypress St. They have been there for years and for a long time were the only decent patisserie in that neighborhood.
re: ginnyhw
New Paris has indeed been there forever, and they have the vintage baker's boxes to prove it. My own experience with them goes back to 1974, and they were an old neighborhood institution even then. I haven't tried the cream puffs, but the last time I bought a dozen of their famous mini-eclairs (3-4 months ago) they were just terrible. The pastry cream had an overthickened texture that was quite unpalatable.
re: Allstonian
Also, the glaze was that nasty, waxy fake chocolate. Utterly horrendous, and the start of our nearly unbroken recent streak of seeing just how many ways an eclair can suck. (See also: Truly Jorg's and Modern, even though we still stand up for the cannoli there.)
re: Allstonian
My mother told me that, when she was in high school--a private school for rich Irish-American debs on Rte. 9--in the mid to late 1950s, a bunch of girls would all pile into one girl's VW Bug (a brand, new novelty then) and drive down to New Paris for all the cream puffs they could afford, then bring them back for all their friends. Love that story.
re: MichaelB
I was just going to mention Burdicks. You beat me to it. Very limited selection, but what they do they do honestly and very well. Very European.
Has anyone had any of the cakes from Bakers Best in Newton? They look pretty, but I haven't tasted them yet.
I don't know much about baked goods, but I'll chime in again with some delicious things I regularly buy in the North End: the macaroons (both with pignoli and without) at Modern Pastry, and the sfogliatelle at Maria's Pastry. Also, the mini-cannoli at Domenic's Italian Bakery in Waltham.
re: MC Slim JB
Slim, about two weeks ago, the "ladies" at Dominics made some furiously delicious homemade ricotta pie. As a life long Modern ricotta fan (with a relative in the establishment to boot) ... I have to say the Domenics' pie was da' BOMB. Thin base crust, very thick ricotta filling, very creamy and luscious, and a lattice type top. But the filling was surreal. If they made this on a regular basis, I'd kiss off my North End jaunts in a nanno. Also in March, their zeppoli are about the best anywhere. My only lament on Domenics is they are no longer doing veal cutlets, except by special order. So mo more veal parm. sandwiches.
PS: To keep with the post, I agree 110% about Burdick's pastries. Outstanding !
I visit Boston regularly (2 or three times a year) and love to get desserts in the North End. I think the name of the place is Mike's. People stand in line for the cannolis there. I also like Athans at Washington Square in Brookline (green line) Then there is Finale. Love the chocolate items there.
Also, not a bakery, but Petit Robert (Kenmore Square) has pastries baked each day. Sometimes we go there for dessert and coffee.
re: marchperson
There is A&J King Artisan Baker in Salem on the north shore, they've been open for about a year and are a boulangerie, they have wonderful crusty bread and croissants among other things.
more info on their website: http://www.ajkingbakery.com/
Actually, if it's up to me and I'm driving 100 miles, I'd keep going for another 100 or so and go to Montreal. There are bakeries there (Patisserie Gascogne) that are the equivalent of any in Paris (the croissants and pain au chocolat are better than any I've ever had anywhere, and the pastries are amazing, as good as Gerard Mulot in Paris). Also Fromentier for breads that would make anywhere in Boston (or Paris) jealous. I just went and brought home bags and boxes full, they freeze great and customs let's you bring them in.
Around here, the best bread I've had is at Clear Flour, and the best cakes (by far!) at Pastiche in Providence, both already mentioned.
Hard pressed to think of a great all-around bakery in Boston.
I have a few favorites for specific items though:
Beardpapa's in Quincy Mkt for cream puffs - exceptional.
Modern for cannoli, torrone.
Mike's for Lobster Tails
PartyFavors for cupcakes - I know the frosting isn't everyone's favorite but sometimes I just crave it.
Petsi Pies for any type of pie - just incredible and Renee is the nicest woman on the planet.
Crown Bakery in Worcester for Cardamom braids and Raspberry Jelly Rolls.
I am always looking for a great cake - haven't found it yet and since I don't drive can't attest to Kondieter Meister (sp?).
Clear Flour has the best bread and cinnamon rolls going.
On my list to try are Truly Jorg's in Kenmore and Athan's in Brookline.
Kays Bakery in Holyoke Massachussetts- Little Polish Bakery- the best in the world open to the public. The best overall is my sister, but she only supplies to family and close friends :-)
re: Scruffy The Cat
perhaps another case of "my neighborhood place is best because I have been going there ..." ,,,, lol

Miniature Gardens
Fanciful, magical structures make a home for fairies
Visitors to the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden make fairy houses in secluded spots. The garden issues a few guidelines for children and adults, including the observation that successful fairy houses "look so natural they are almost hidden."
THERE'S MAGIC in a garden: Take a tiny seed, add water and soil, and it grows into a beautiful flower. Science can explain the process, but some things defy explanation — fairies, for instance.
Fairies make their homes in nature, where jaunty acorn-caps abound, mushrooms offer shelter from the rain, and gleaming mosses carpet the enchanted world of the forest. Fairy architecture relies on twigs, bits of bark, bristly pinecones, and conveniently shaped seedpods: The possibilities are infinite. People helping their friends the fairies will find no finer materials.
Fairy Fridays were popular all summer at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Visiting fairies, sprites, elves and wizards enjoyed fairy stories, a fairy garden puppet theater, and fairy dancing with the great bubble machine in the garden's maze. A box of fairy dress-up wings was provided for those who had forgotten their wings.
The tradition of building fairy houses is particularly well established in Maine, where children have been encouraged to use natural materials to construct charming and ephemeral fairy shelters for generations. But fairy gardens have caught on everywhere, and different interpretations of the theme are as refreshing and unpredictable as the sprites they're built for.
"We called them camps, when I was a kid," says Amanda Russell, who teaches fairy-house workshops at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, ME. "We did it all the time. We built tiny houses, with roads of rocks and sticks, a whole tiny community network."
Parents who built fairy camps as children have kept the tradition alive with their own kids, and the botanic garden expanded on it, introducing a summer series of Fairy Fridays, inviting kids to frolic in the garden wearing fairy wings. Little girls were eager early participants, "but the boys have been getting into the act," says Barbara Freeman, communications manager at the botanic garden. "We had wizards, elves and sprites — it's good that it's not just a little girl thing any more."
A slice from a tree trunk makes a stable base for a free-standing fairy house. Amanda Russell, who teaches fairy-house workshops at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, looks for acorns, bark, seed pods, sticks, rocks, cones, and dried berries to make and decorate her fairy houses. For fairy houses made in the workshop, it's OK to use hot glue, she says.
In the botanic garden's fairy village, there are "dozens upon dozens" of fairy houses built by visitors, Freeman says, "each in its own quiet little place." Children (and adults) are welcome to build fairy houses wherever they like in the area, but they are instructed not to use any living material. No picking flowers, digging up ferns, or relocating mosses.
Otherwise, there are no rules. "There should be places where fairies can relax and eat or sleep or play," Russell says, "where they can live and work and do their thing." The miniature scale of fairy architecture "makes your brain work in a different way," she says. Tiny hemlock cones lined up in a fairy garden plot look for all the world like cabbages, she says. Her own creations make creative use of fallen leaves, rocks, and loose bits of lichen.
Russell enjoys the fun of making fairy houses, but her favorite part is gathering material on walks in the woods. Picking up ribbons of birch bark, berries, and seedpods "teaches kids to look down on the forest floor," she says. "There is a lot of beauty you don't see unless you look for it."
Made from long-lasting, weatherproof resin, these Squash Houses are scaled for fairy gardens.
Accessorize your fairy garden with tiny Woodland Furniture.
A fairy garden in your own back yard will naturally include the plants you love. Ricki Creamer, owner of Red Cedar Gardens in Stilwell, KS, plants dwarf conifers in her fairy gardens. They're just the right scale for fairies, and give the garden year-round structure, she says. Marbles on golf tees become luminous gazing globes in a fairy garden. Polished flat pebbles make a path of stepping stones under an arbor of twigs; a small mirror becomes a sparkling reflecting pool.
The hand-painted Butternut Squash House is 4-1/2" in diameter x 7-3/4" H
Creamer likes to plant herbs in her fairy gardens, especially fragrant herbs. Fairies love to dance on the tiny leaves of thyme, releasing its fragrance, she says. She plants violas and calibrachoa as shrubbery around her fairy houses, and grows lavender in fairy flowerbeds. Just keep your scissors handy, Creamer says, and snip plants to keep them from spreading out of bounds. "Fairy gardens require work, just on a smaller scale," she says.
When Creamer's grandchildren visit, the fairy garden is their favorite place. They pinch the herbs and savor the fragrance, and try to find the fairies' hiding places in the foliage. Sometimes they notice that fairies have been busy mending their twig fences or rearranging the garden furniture. You may never actually see the fairies, Creamer says, but you can sometimes feel them whisk by your face, like a warm breeze on a soft summer day. That lets you know that they feel at home.
Fairy gardens can be created indoors, too. Our Fairy Houses give fairies a cozy place to relax and rest their wings and set the stage for a magical scene on your sideboard or mantel. Crafted from natural materials, including pinecones, bark and moss.

Group meet-ups in Wood Green are organised by Local Mumsnetter Volunteer GoldenButternut.
Join this group to receive messages about the next meeting.
Hi everyone,
Hope you have all had a lovely summer, and welcome to all those who have recently joined the group.
Unfortunately I'm no longer able to continue the role of Local Ambassador for Haringey Mumsnet, or able to organise the Meetups for the group, because of work commitment!
So if anyone is interested in taking over the role, please respond here, and I guess someone from HQ will be in touch!
Take Care x
