Chocolate-dipped bacon and sharp cheddar will be for sale at new bakery in Adams
Times staff WRITER
ADAMS — Old family recipes for pies and cookies are just some of the tasty treats that will be featured at Pearl’s Pastry Shoppe.
Owners Melinda A. and Paul S. Shear purchased the former 10 Main Street Bakery from Matthew J. Bettinger and Holly K. Briot and said they plan to restore it into a retro, 1950s-themed bakery.
Pearl was the name of Mr. Shear’s late mother, and a picture of her taken on her wedding day is displayed in the shop’s window.
“She lived on a farm and was always just a housewife, but she had a lot of homemade recipes that we want to incorporate in our menu,” Mrs. Shear said.
Two of the old-time favorites are an oatmeal chocolate chip bar and mashed potato doughnuts.
“They are just to die for,” Mrs. Shear said.
Without giving away the recipe, Mrs. Shear described the mashed potato treat as similar to a regular doughnut, but with instant mashed potato flakes added to the other ingredients.
While mashed potato doughnuts may sound like something one could expect at a state fair, that’s not the only odd combination patrons can expect.
“We’re going to sell chocolate-covered bacon by the slice. It’s just like eating a candy bar,” Mrs. Shear said. “This we might only have once in a while, but chocolate-covered sharp cheddar, it’s just like biting into cheesecake.”
The pastry shop will be a family-run establishment, with son Kirk A. Shear taking control of all the baking. He studied culinary arts during high school and spent some time baking for hundreds of sailors on Navy ships.
Kirk Shear said he isn’t concerned about being the primary baker. He said he’s used to high-volume orders.
“I hope that is a problem,” he said. “I’m just excited because I really enjoy baking. I’m glad to be doing it for a whole community, not just myself.”
The community will have to wait a little longer for Pearl’s to open. Mrs. Shear said they hope for a grand opening in late July or early August.
“We’re not nervous about opening another bakery here,” Mrs. Shear said of the location. In March 2010, Ms. Briot and Mr. Bettinger abruptly closed their bakery after only a few months.
“They left this place in great shape, and as long as we can make our product and people like our product, we’ll be fine,” Mrs. Shear said.
