Hey there, pie lovers and cake enthusiasts! If you’re looking for a sweet spot to grab your Thanksgiving treats this year, look no further than Two Fat Cats Bakery in Portland. While it’s not exactly in Scarborough, Maine, it’s just a quick 15-minute drive away. Trust me, it’s worth the trip. And guess what? This delightful bakery is featured in our Thanksgiving Guide 2024. How’s that for a cherry on top?
A Tale of Two Locations
Two Fat Cats Bakery has two locations in Portland. The Lancaster Street spot is where you can pick up your pre-orders, while the West End location on State Street is for walk-ins only. They’re giving you options: plan ahead or live on the edge. Choose your own pastry adventure!
Pie Paradise
Let’s talk pies, shall we? Two Fat Cats offers a whopping eight varieties, all 9 inches of pure deliciousness, from the classic Apple pie made with local Cortland and McIntosh apples to the intriguing New England Bog pie with wild Maine blueberries, cranberries, and orange topped with dark chocolate studded crumb topping. It’s like they took a New England postcard and baked it into a pie!
But wait, there’s more! They’ve got Blueberry, Bourbon Pecan (because why not add a splash of bourbon to your dessert?), Bumbleberry (it’s like a berry party in your mouth), Cherry, Chocolate Cream, and, of course, the Thanksgiving staple – Pumpkin pie. All these pies are priced at $35 each. Not bad for a slice of heaven, right?
Cake Walk
If you’re more of a cake person, Two Fat Cats has got you covered. They offer Vanilla and Chocolate cakes in 6-inch and 8-inch sizes, perfect for small gatherings or if you just want to eat cake for a week (no judgment here).
But the real stars of the show are their specialty cakes. The Carrot Cake is a classic, made with fresh carrots, chopped pecans, and golden raisins, frosted “naked” with cream cheese frosting. And if you want to get into the fall spirit, try their Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake. It’s like your favorite fall drink but in cake form!
Biscuits, Breads, and Beyond
Two Fat Cats offers some delightful breakfast treats for those who like to start their day with something sweet (or maybe end it. We don’t make the rules). Their new Sage & Cheddar Drop Biscuits sound like the perfect savory bite to balance out all the sweetness. And let’s not forget the Pumpkin Bread and NY Cream Cheese Crumb Coffeecake. Because sometimes, you just need a cake for breakfast.
Cheesecake and Tarts, Oh My!
If you’re feeling fancy, why not try their Pumpkin Cheesecake or Apple and fig Galette? The galette is filled with lightly spiced local apples and sweet fig jam, all wrapped up in a flaky pastry crust. It’s like a hug for your taste buds.
Cookie Monster’s Dream
Last but not least, let’s talk cookies. Two Fat Cats offers Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, Lemon Shortbread, and Decorated Cookies for your holiday table. Because sometimes, you just need a cookie. Or three.
The Fine Print
Now, here’s the deal. This menu is only available from Tuesday, November 26th to Thursday, November 28th. You can place your orders starting October 18th through November 21st or until they sell out. And trust me, popular items go fast. It’s like Black Friday, but for pies.
You can order in person, over the phone, or online. But remember, all orders must be pre-paid. It’s like a tasty insurance policy.
So there you have it, folks. Two Fat Cats Bakery is ready to make your Thanksgiving sweeter than ever. Whether you’re a pie person, a cake enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates a good cookie, they’ve got something for everyone. Just remember to order early, or you might be left with store-bought pumpkin pie. And nobody wants that.
