During Thursday’s Run of the Chicas, we spotted this sign and well, we had to go check it out! And yes, all we got was that it was “OP.”
Aren’t these cupcakes a trip? For those of you who have been deprived, yes, they look like Hostess Cup Cakes, and owner Patrick said they had a creamy center. Based on the goodies in the bakery, I doubt Hostess can hold a candle to these! I left with one carrot and one chocolate cupcake, yum!
In a way, I am so glad that I don’t have room for another cookie jar, because these cuties were hard to resist!

One of the benefits of having eaten lunch before we visited the Bulldog Bakery in Avondale is that I had no compunction to buy up all the chocolate croissants, although I am still thinking of it. Maybe next time we go to Taqueria La Oaxaquena…
Owner Patrick took the cookies out from the counter so I could get a better photo of them, which is why they appear larger than one could imagine. I bought one with cranberries in it, and it’s very good!

The bakery has some interesting speciality items worth noting. Bulldog Bakery also carries gluten free and vegan goods, uses Certified Kosher Dairy Process, and also produces baked goods that are also sugar free.

Also, for any of you who read the previous day’s post and wonder… no, Patrick is definitely NOT a Mr. Cranky Cupcakes type. He’s affable, helpful, friendly and we enjoyed speaking with him (Patrick, have I said enough good things???).

Bulldog Bakery has been in business for about 8 years, 2.5 at the present Avondale location and prior to that, the bakery was in West Lakeview.
