Ever So Sweet Bakery in Summerville had their grand RE-opening this past week and I've got the inside scoop (plus their cheddar bacon quiche, white chocolate cheesecake, and pecan sticky bun...)

How about a sweet treat to start your week off right? Before we leave winter behind, make a batch of Pumpkin Pecan Spiced Cream Puffs—a sneak peek recipe from my next cookbook!
