From cookies to cream puffs: Nostalgia meets technique at Mid-Way Bakery

 Nostalgia is a powerful thing. And there may be no nostalgia more powerful than that which accompanies a beloved food. And whether that food is a simple chocolate chip cookie enjoyed after school or a warm, flaky croissant eaten on the streets of Paris there’s a bit of magic in the memories that it conjures.

That magic is what the owners of Mid-Way Bakery hope to capture with their menu of sweet treats which run the gamut from indulgent peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and caramel-filled brownies to indulgent cream puffs and expertly plated desserts. 

This week on the podcast, we’re chatting it up with Katie and Kurt Fogle, the husband and wife pastry chef team heading up the new bakery. And they’re sharing all the sweet stuff: from the inspiration for the Mid-Way name to the secrets behind some of their most delicious treats.
