I went out today to take a few pictures of the fresh snow fall, and on the way back I decided to stop in at the Windmill Bakery in Huntsville. It just so happened the bakery was having an open house and giving out A LOT of free samples. YUMMMY! I could not resist, just take a look at all the delicious baked goods they had! (I know my girl friend sure liked them)
I was offered coffee or ginger hot chocolate. I had never tried ginger hot chocolate before so I picked up a cup, it was delicious. There was apple beignets (apple, loosely wrapped in a fried dough and sprinled with some crystalized cinnamon) and sausage rolls next to the coffee. I really liked the apple beignets and my girlfriend loved the sausage rolls, but there was much more to try.
Next I moved on to the almond ring! I remember quite a few years ago when my dad brought one of these home. It was so delicious but I have never seen one since then. I saw one for sale in the front shop and was happy to see they had samples. Just as I expected it was really good, and made right here in the bakery, what more could you want?
Not only was the almond ring delicious, it is only $12.95 for a butter almond wreath (with some fancy edibles on top) and $6.95 for a butter almond stick (I bought a stick before I left)
Windmill Bakeries had many other sweets to try. They had Sweet breads, Desserts such as butter tarts, mixed nut and fruit tarts, blueberry starlets, breads, buns and rolls, Cookies, bars, squares and even meat pies and pot pie! Windmill Bakery has it all!
As if giving away all these free samples wasn’t enough they even had take home bags for you to grab on the way out. The take home bags had a couple of very tasty gingerbread men pressed in almond shavings. They were even baking some ginger bread men while we were there.
After trying all of the delictable, flavourful treats there was only one more thing to do.
Decide what to buy!
If you missed the open house they may still have some samples left, swing by the bakery at 969 Muskoka Rd (that’s the road by the Tim Hortons on hwy 60) and let them know you read about their bakery and want to get some goodies for Christmas.
Windmill Bakery bakes all of their food with no added preservatives or additives and the wheat is freshly milled on site with their stone mill!
I know Christmas can be a busy time of the year so why not take a load off and put in an order of baked goods from Windmill Bakery? I grabbed an order form on my way out so if anyone is interested just leave a comment below and I could scan and upload the order form. Windmill Bakery has great prices for the quality of tempting treats they bake. If you have been there before I would love to know what your favourite food from the bakery is. I think for me it is either the Apple beignets or the Almond ring.
This was the first time I went to the bakery, but it certainly wont be the last!

Those sure look good, I wish I had of known about this! I will have to get an order in for Christmas
I was in Huntsville last week for a few days and never thought to go to the bakery. My loss as their stuff looks amazing. I won’t be north again until Christmas Day so I guess I’ll miss out for awhile, but I’ll keep your suggestions in mind.
Hi, I stumbled by “accident” on your website by just “googling” around and am totally surprized by the awesome job you did with your pictures and comments. Had forgotten all about you coming in and taking pictures. If we ever wanted to do a website we wil give you a call; right now it is not feasible .
