The magic is in the bake. ✨ 🫘 We’ve teamed up with our friends at @breadboard_bakery bakery to bring a tiny bit of luck to your New Year.
This year, we hand-sculpted 250 limited-edition ceramic fèves that Daisy is tucking inside her golden, flaky Galettes des Rois.
The tradition of the fève (French for “bean”) dates back centuries. Originally, a simple dried fava bean was hidden inside the cake; whoever found it in their slice was crowned “King” or “Queen” for the day. For us, the bean represents more than just a game, it’s a symbol of growth, potential, and good fortune for the year ahead. Plus if you’ve been around here for a while you know how much Abby adores eating beans.
Swapping the fava for a permanent porcelain keepsake means you can hold onto that luck long after the last crumb is gone.
Swipe to see the journey from raw clay in the studio to the flour-dusted counters at the bakery!
Where to find them: Galettes are available at @breadboard_bakery bakery in Arlington all through January.

Inverse puff pastry, rich frangipane, special egg wash, and shiny glaze. This is the traditional pastry to celebrate Epiphany (January 6), marking the end of the Christmas season. We're making these every day through the rest of January. It's a flaky flaky French cake made with puff pastry and filled with almond cream and a hidden prize, traditionally a trinket, a dried fava bean, or a whole almond.
This year we are so happy that Abby and Eric of @myrthceramics offered to make our fèves. Normally Myrth makes gorgeous tableware (even seen at some of the nicest restaurants and bars around town), but they decided to take a little detour and have fun with this custom project. They’ve crafted the most beautiful hand-shaped porcelain fava beans, uniquely glazed, and so pleasing to look at and hold in your hand. We here at Breadboard are huge bean fans, and same at Myrth.
Available 1/7 through the end of the month!

We're partnering with @breadboard_bakery to cover your dessert needs this coming Thanksgiving!🦃🥧
For the next couple weeks, you can preorder ice cream pints and homemade pies from Breadboard Bakery in Arlington by visiting the link in our bio! You can pickup preorders at our shop either the Tuesday or Wednesday before Thanksgiving- just pick the corresponding date when placing your order.
Is Arlington a little easier for you to get to? You can preorder directly from Breadboard as well by visiting the link in our bio. Their menu is a smorgasbord of their delicious baked goods and a curated list of ice cream from us!😊
P.S. While we're open Thanksgiving week until that Wednesday at 4pm, we're making a limited amount of batches this month to avoid having a bunch of leftovers come December. Preordering 1) helps us determine how much we need to make and 2) guarantees you'll get pints in your chosen flavors for Thanksgiving. We might not have all the flavors on our menu the last couple days before Thanksgiving!
