We’ve had a busy few weeks at Levain!
First our sticky buns on Oprah! Thank you Mark and Gail for your appreciation of, and your votes for our cinnamon raisin sticky buns.
Last week our Italian Bread class, last night our Levain Bakery Breakfast class.
Today a celebration of Alexis M’s birthday!
And, last but not least, we are all loving this sunny taste of Spring today! The perfect weather to enjoy coffee and breakfast on the bench, in the sun before it gets too hot. Enjoy the day!
In the next few weeks Connie and Pam will be offering several class dates with two different curriculums. Our hope is that you will leave with the confidence to take what you learned and make it at home.
The first curriculum will be Italian Breads which will include making a basic focaccia, ciabatta and pizza.
The second curriculum will be Breakfast where you will learn make our oatmeal raisin scones, bomboloncini and plain brioche.

You may not have noticed but is has been a few weeks since I have been around. The past two weekends I was busy taking an intense, fabulous digital photography course, the results of which you will hopefully notice! Our teacher was great. If you like photography check out her website www.kateizor.com. Hopefully some day I will have a site of my work which will certainly include lots of bakery photographs. 
Last week we finally got our long awaited new stools and new lights at the NYC location! We are very excited, they look great. The design company of www.jamesgreenberg.com has been working with us on updating and replacing some of things that need replacing finally after 13 years of use and abuse! It has been a long process but the girls at JamesGreenberg are all wonderful. Heidi and Jackie are also two women entrepreneurs, like us. In the next few weeks we will be installing new stair treads, some additional new lighting, as well as an update to our façade eventually. Little things but perhaps they will help customers to be able to find us a bit more easily and not to think that we are such a “hole in the wall” as we have been told.
Last but not least, we are almost done with our class schedule and curriculum for the next few months. If you are interested keep checking our website, www.levainbakery.com/classes for details and, if you have already expressed interest you will be getting an email with all of the information. Also remember to email your friends and families the webcam photos from your bakery visits!
