It was the best part of our Colonial Williamsburg experience. My wife and I especially loved the narrative by the character Gowan Pamphlet as he discussed the inconsistencies of a group of colonists seeking to be free while still denying that freedom to the slaves.
wanted some help with the ginerbread cookie recipe, I wrote on FB asking about butter/margarine as it doesn't call for any - also answered my 2nd question as to why there are 2 different versions 1 uses baking soda and pastry flour, the other uses baking powder and unbleached flour - help please
Make sure to stop here in the morning around 10am to get some fresh ginger cakes. A traditional recipient made the “old way” in a wood-fire oven. When the cakes are warm they fill you up with joy. Limit 6 per person but also under $2 each. Such a great treat to start out your historical day!
At the time my husband and I were visiting, this was pretty much the only on- site open for lunch. There were only two restaurants open and there was a long wait. Not wanting to go offsite, we decided to take our chances here. They have cookies, muffins, chips, cold drinks, and small selection of salads and sandwiches. There are a few tables to sit on outside of the bakery, but not enough
The fresh gingerbread cost is 3 for $4! It was delicious and hot with just a touch of crust on it. Oh to die for! The well dressed baker was kind and virtuous. Because it was Christmas time you can get a “fat man” ginger bread man cake which is also delicious. A ten percent discount is added for patriot pass or military. They offered breads and other cookies but we left with a huge bag of gingerbread!
We visit Raleigh Bakery every time we are in Colonial Williamsburg
Love the ginger cakes
😋
Been going here since I was a child. I couldn’t remember the name of this old/hidden bakery in Williamsburg. I will be going this year now that I know, thank you to Google!
