The time is almost upon us when our neighborhood seniors will be diving head first into their new lives as adults. Scary huh? As I look forward to my 15-year-old son driving soon, his graduation day looms on the horizon.

Yes, he still has three years to go, but his first year of high school went by so fast. Before I know it, he’ll be graduating just like those who are bidding high school farewell this spring to embark on new adventures. It seems like there are milestones everywhere you turn as a parent.

If and when your graduation season turns hectic, your Market Bakery is here to help simplify your family get-togethers. Brownies, cheesecakes, cream pies and your favorite cakes are all baked fresh and ready when you need them.

Our dinner rolls are especially popular this time of year, because they make great sandwiches. My favorites are the 100 percent whole-wheat rolls and dinner rolls. Pick up some freshly sliced meat and cheese from the deli; add some condiments and Kapow! You have a party!

Your Market Bakery has many beautiful and hassle-free items, like our delicious cookies, that you can grab on a whim. Pick a few of your favorites and create a beautiful tray, or let us make one for you. We prefer 24-hour notice for trays. But if you’re in a pinch, just ask and we’ll do our best to help you out.

As for the graduation cake, that’s our specialty! Bring in your colors and we’ll help you design a deliciously moist, one-of-a-kind cake that your guests will rave about for weeks to come!

Elsewhere in your Market, you’ll find many other great items for graduation, including California rolls (sushi), which make great appetizers, fresh fruit and veggie trays, deli salads, party sandwiches, barbecue foods, chips and beverages … The choices are endless; there’s always something for everyone!

As you rush around with your last-minute preparations, let us help you fill in the blanks. Because there’s never any doubt that you can count on us for great customer service and tasty food every time.

Happy planning!
