Providence Place Retirement Community

From the spring of 2021 through the fall of 2022, Baker’s Lane Biscotti provided chocolate-drizzled anise and chocolate-drizzled almond biscotti to the lovely residents at Providence Place in Holyoke to go with their Saturday morning coffee. This proved to be a great idea on behalf of the food service manager there, as it quickly became a highlight of the weekend!

They also enjoyed our petite pizzelle, dusted with powdered sugar, every Monday as a delicate accompaniment to their ice cream dessert. They were the only ones for whom Baker’s Lane made these “pizzelle piccoli!”

Every Friday, I would deliver 3 trays filled with Baker’s Lane Biscotti treats. Depending on the time of my arrival, I would see residents either outside enjoying the weather or inside the dining room during their lunch time. Once they came to know I was the baker of the biscotti and pizzelle, they started to offer me their appreciation of the delicious cookies. One large table of residents stopped me so they could all relay to me how much they enjoyed my cookies! One gentleman at the table said they were the best biscotti he has ever had in his life! What a compliment that I will never forget.

Baker’s Lane Biscotti had the great honor of working with the great team at Providence Place and was always amazed by the wonderful compliments we received from everyone there.
