QUESTION

What was your first impression?
.

THE SCOOP

Camille: The first thing I noticed was the display case full of pastries, donuts and baked goods. My first impression? ” I’ve died and gone to heaven.”
Emily: My first impression was about five years ago when I first met Schmidt’s due to my sister getting married and all. Super yummy, super pretty cake. The night of our review? “Holy crap, it smells good in here!”
Kalli: Throw baked goods around and my first impression is always good.
Kristina: The bakery was very clean and all of the bakery items looked delicious and enticing. They all looked so good, in fact, that my new goal is to eat everything in their store and go on Maury Povich as the world’s fattest woman.
Quinn: First thought: “How did I not know this was here?” I couldn’t believe how many times I’ve been downtown in that area and have never known they had a store there. All those missed opportunities for their yummy treats!
Stephanie: It was so bright, open and clean, not to mention oh, my baked good heaven. The cases were full of deliciousness.
Vanessa: Oh my look at the cases and smell those rolls!

QUESTION

What did you like the most?

.
THE SCOOP

Camille: It’s a toss-up between the eclairs and the homemade rolls—made from scratch, by the way. Even baked from a frozen state, they melt away in your mouth!
Emily: It’s pretty much impossible to decide between the homemade rolls (my fave is the butterflake) and that German chocolate cookie goodie. And yes, I ate the entire thing by myself.
Kalli: I really enjoyed seeing behind the scenes. Bakeries require a lot of work. Who knew? Well, the Keebler elves, that’s who. And Schmidt’s.
Kristina: I loved that they make everything from scratch. I can barely open a bread bag without hurting myself, so that really impressed me. My favorite item of theirs was their almond/marzipan pie. I think it’s the pie equivalent to Christian Bale, without the angry swearing.
Quinn: Everything was so delicious! My faves were the Napoleon, the cheesecake (and I’m not generally a cheesecake fan) and the German chocolate cookie. Yum!
Stephanie: The eclairs. And the rolls. But mostly the eclairs. Did I mention the eclairs? Oh, and the giant oven. I could bake a cookie or two in that thing.
Vanessa: The rolls (both kinds), the staff, how it is a close, family business and the eclairs!

QUESTION

What didn’t you like?

.
THE SCOOP

Camille: That they’re not located in Utah County, which is probably best (for my diet).
Emily: I wish they were located in Sandy. I mean, come on, everything’s in Sandy! Oh, and the fact their frozen rolls take a good few hours to defrost. (Yes, I know that’s typical, but delicious, frozen rolls should defrost immediately, bake quickly and be eaten hot out of the oven…all in 5 minutes flat! Other than that, I wasn’t a huge fan of their chocolate cookie treat with the mint filling, even though I love mint and chocolate.
Kalli: The birthday cake wasn’t my favorite, but overall I thought it was a fantastic experience.
Kristina: I didn’t like they wouldn’t let me put my entire face into their bowl of buttercream frosting and lick the bowl clean. Other than that, nothing.
Quinn: I wasn’t psyched about the goodies with mint filling.
Stephanie: That I had to share with my kids when I got home. {That’s why you hide them, Steph. Sheesh!}
Vanessa: The cake we tasted was not my favorite but that is okay because of all the other delectable treats they had.

QUESTION

Would you refer Schmidt’s Pastry Cottage to a friend?

.
THE SCOOP

Camille: Absolutely! I’d recommend their homemade rolls, sheet cakes and individual pastries.
Emily: Definitely! My sister’s wedding cake was fabulous and yummy and they have a fabulous assortment of treats. Plus their rolls are to die for (I have a few dozen in my freezer) and their Salt Lake City location even serves sandwiches!
Kalli: Yes, I would.
Kristina: Definitely.
Quinn: ABSOLUTELY. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality as well as the baking integrity of the owners behind the brand. {Hear, hear!}
Stephanie: Yes. Schmidt’s is already a family favorite. And now that I know about their delicious bake-and-serve rolls, I am sending roll lovers their way.
Vanessa: Yes, their baked goods taste fresh and homemade and they have a really fabulous selection. I want to go back and test out their donuts!
