During our road trip last month to North Carolina, my family found a new place to not only stop and grab a bite to eat, but to seriously munch on some delicious baked goods. Edgar's Bakery rivals any other bakery you may claim as your favorite, with fresh menu items for lunch and a delectable collection of treats for your sweet tooth.
I chose the chocolate cupcake by recommendation of the manager, and it was definitely the right choice. Some cupcakes I've tried at various places lately have let me down on their chocolate selection, with dry cake. Edgar's, though? Delish! A nice moist cake with bits of chocolate through-out, and topped with what I think was the perfect frosting. Ben picked out a huge peanut butter cookie that he loved, and Judah wanted a fish sugar cookie (pictured above). We also bought a few more of the sugar cookies to take to his little cousins in North Carolina.
I wish I could visit Edgar's Bakery on a regular basis, but for now it is going to be our place to stop every time we make the drive to North Carolina to see our family. It's an easy on/off for the Interstate, and even if it isn't lunch time, we'll stop for a fun treat!
