Ella's Bellas-- Beacon, NY

A few weeks ago, a shop called Ella's Bellas in Beacon, NY did some promotional work at a shop down the street.  Ella's Bellas is a gluten free bakery which also does salads and delicious soups.  It has recently opened and thus far has found itself many patrons and people who come back bringing with them family and friends.  Ella's Bellas is not just for the gluten intolerant however, even myself who has no issues consuming gluten or wheat would gladly eat one of the sweets sold at EB.  Carley Hughes does wonderful things in a baking niche that is not the easiest to work with.  In my opinion, her chocolate chip cookies or Gingerbread cookies (which i'm currently finish one of (: ) are most definately my favorites of the things that I have eaten.

For this event, there was a display of Fruition Chocolates, Pie-sicles, Macaroons, and mini cupcakes.  It was held in a women's clothing shop on Main Street.

These heart shaped piesicles are perfect for an all women's event.

Black raspberry shortbread cookies with what is basically the gluten free version of a mudslide cookie in the middle.

Fruition Chocolate:
These chocolates are from a shop in Shokan, NY.  They  are made from bean to bar, which is a process that not many places  bother with.  This process gives Fruition chocolate a flavor that cannot be purchased one that can only be created.  This chocolate is definitely worth the money and time.

French Macaroons:
Almond macaroons filled with buttercream, chocolate and what I believe to be jam in the center.  Delicious!
