Besides delicious pastry that melts in your mouth such as Linzer Tarts, Tiramisu, or Mousse Cups, Weaver Street Market also has an incredibly broad spectrum of other consumable delights such as our cheese and wine. Our local recommendations would be: Celebrity Dairy's Chocolate Spread, Chapel Hill Creamery's Farmer's Cheese, and wonderful chocolate truffles from Steve Vagasky. We have crispy, fresh bread that includes baguettes and babkas, which are hand made by our own bakers. If you're going to treat your taste buds, why not also take care of your skin? Locally produced Goat Milk Soap from the Cud-Zu Goat Farm is soothing for your skin and full of natural, energizing ingredients. To unleash all of your other senses you may want to try the Rose Petal Elixir, called: "Love in a Bottle" made by the local Herb Planet company. For those of you who love to indulge in a cup of tea, please stop by our local herbal section. We have medicinal teas grown and blended by our local herbalist Suki Roth. Additionally you can buy Suki's Herbal Honey, which is infused with Rose Buds. It goes perfectly with any tea! Now this is a piece of heaven that will uplift any heart!

Panzanella's Dark Chocolate Cake

VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIAL From Executive Chef Chris Capron 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pans 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans 1 1/2 cups sugar 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 large whole egg, room temperature 1 large egg white, room temperature 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/3 cups strong, hot coffee Heat oven to 325°. Butter two 8-inch-square baking pans. Line with parchment, and butter again. Flour pans, tapping out excess; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine all the ingredients except the hot coffee. Mix ingredients on low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Slowly add the coffee. Mix until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour batter into prepared pans; smooth tops with an offset spatula. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pans to wire rack to cool. Turn out the cakes. Cut into small squares. Garnish with Raspberry Sorbet and Sweet Whipped Cream. A sprinkle of powdered sugar would be a nice finish as well.

New! Hails Family Farm Milk

We have a new addition in our dairy cases: The Hails Family Farm non-homogenized organic milk in half gallons, whole milk, and 2%. Hails Family Farm operation, in Wyalusing, Pa, is a true farmstead brand, where most of the raw materials for their products are grown, raised, produced, processed and packaged on the farm under their family brand. Hails cow milk is not only grass fed from traditional Jersey Cows that produce higher butterfat milk but is also non-homogenized and full-fat meaning they do not take any of the valuable butterfat out of their whole milk.

Vagasky Truffles

Balance, freshness and serving a product at its peak are values that Steve Vagasky brings to both his truffle business and his catering business because Steve loves food. "This is my life- working with chocolate, and the balance of chocolate and flavor until it is just right."

Vagasky feels his recipes are developed to just what his customers want and expect and are some of the freshest you'll taste! They're all natural, no preservatives!

Vagasky Hand Made Chocolate Truffles can be found at Weaver Street Market through Valentine's Day.

Mousse Cakes...Tiramisu...

Indulge in WSM's Handmade Pastries
By: Keith Rogers, WSM Pastry Manager
What is love anyway? Many of us try to answer this question. Some of us have more than one answer. When I think of love. I generally think of the ones I love: my spouse and my kids. Then I think about the things they love. And for them, chocolate may be at the top of the list. Don't get me wrong; I think they love me too. But chocolate...

Sometimes when I come home from work, I wonder: is it me they're hugging or are they just trying to smell the aroma of chocolate I've carried home from work? I may never know. Whomever you love, take time to express it this Valentine's Day with a loveable pastry from Weaver Street Market like our Mousse Cups for $3.95 each

Local Flowers

For this romantic Wednesday our Floral department has gathered some delightful and sweet flowers for you to choose from. We have charming bouquets, exotic lilies, colorful tulips that will unfold the love, flirtatious hyacinths, and of course, dreamy and passionate roses!

Our picks include the enchanting, potted orchids that start from $12.99-24.99, local tulips for $11.99, local lilies for $7.99 a bunch, and a dozen roses for $19.99. A single rose for only $5.99 could also be a perfect way to express your love!
