August Custard Calendar

We haven't been blogging that much lately because life got in the way (as it sometimes does).  But the August custard calendar is up and I am so, so excited to see blueberry coffee cake on the list again!


Monday - strawberry cheesecake - we tried this in June and thought it was OK.  The strawberry flavor was a little muted and light for us.

Tuesday - malted marshmallow milk chocolate - another one that we thought was just OK when we tried it in April.  We were hoping it would taste like malted milk balls... but it didn't.

Wednesday - fromage blanc raspberry swirl - we have tried this one a couple of times and like it.  If you like cheesecake with raspberry sauce, you probably will too.

Thursday - apricot jam cookie - this one is new for us, but we wonder if it will be similar to raspberry linzer, which we really enjoyed.

Friday - blueberry coffee cake - I am so excited to see this back on the list for the first time since last August! We didn't write about it but what I remember is that we liked it and that, in the middle of last year's hurricane debacle, I was wondering if Shake Shack would be open that weekend (it wasn't) because it would be the last chance to get blueberry coffee cake.  We will make every effort to write about it this time!

Saturday - salted caramel - when we tried this last year, we were not really fans.

Sunday - heirloom tomato - a new one for us.  Reminds me of August a couple of years ago when they put basil on the custard menu, which was intriguing. It's like they're working their way up to a custard caprese salad!

I'm most intrigued by heirloom tomato and A is most intrigued by the apricot jam cookie.  But what I am most excited by is blueberry coffee cake!  Hoping that after we try it again it will end up on the all-time favorite custard list with gianduja/chocolate hazelnut and Christmas cookie.
