Organic, Creative Peace Tree Desserts: Sweet!

Robyn Eads, one of the new breed of locavore chefs in the area, featured on The Martha Stewart Show, having served such renowned restaurants as Gotham Bar & Grill in New York and The Schoolhouse in Wilton, has started her own Peace Tree Desserts catering company. She features wholesome, sinful confections based on traditional recipes, improved by Eads’ creative innovations. Eads’s organic flour is milled just an hour from Ridgefield, her honey is from Weston’s Red Bee. All fruits are from local farms – Wilton’s Millstone, Bethel’s Holbrook, Redding’s Warrups, to name a few. Processed cane sugar is replaced with nutritious, low-glycemic palm sugar. Even the bakery’s packaging is made from sustainably harvested trees. Peace Tree’s menu finds such fall delights as The Great Pumpkin, a pumpkin cupcake with maple sugar buttercream and maple-candied pumpkin; Chocolate Salted Caramel cupcake with dark chocolate, salted caramel buttercream and cocoa nibs; maple pecan pie in a rosemary butter crust, and gingerbread stout cake with caramelized pears and rum caramel buttercream.
Working out of a kitchen in Bethel, Eads creates exquisite wedding and special occasion cakes, serving dinners for four or 200. Peace Tree delivers to Fairfield County. Yum.
