🕯️Mosby’s Midnight Ride🕯On eerie nights like Halloween, some say the Gray Ghost himself, Colonel John S. Mosby, still haunts the hills of Front Royal. 👀

During the Civil War, Mosby and his Confederate raiders haunted these lands, slipping through the Shenandoah Valley like shadows. If you find yourself near Happy Creek on a quiet night, listen closely… you just might hear ghostly hoofbeats echoing across the misty hills. 🌌✨

Wishing everyone a hauntingly happy Halloween! 🎃 Make plans to visit Front Royal, where legends linger and history comes alive!

Swear these bakeries downtown (Melania's Gourmet, Garcia & Gavino, Down Home Comfort Bakery) are going to kill us...but what a way to go! Think we should start with the GRAVEYARD CAKE?!?! ☠️

Introducing the Graveyard Cake 💀🎃👻

This terrifyingly delicious creation is made from two Brown Butter Brownies that are sandwiched in between a rich Milk Chocolate Cremeux and then topped with a Milk Chocolate Mousse, Halloween Sprinkles, Chocolate shavings and Chocolate Skulls dusted with Gold.

We love any reason to theme out our pastries for you to enjoy with your hearts and mouths 🖤💛

Happy Halloween everyone!
