Bristol, VA: Pies, pastries flying off Blackbird’s shelves
At Blackbird Bakery, that laborious croissant dough is rolled around French chocolate, formed into rectangles, painted with an egg wash and decorated with almonds.
Danish wedding cookies, rich in nuts and covered in powdered sugar, accompany Middle Eastern baklava. Ratha Shabeldeen, a native of Lebanon, makes them both, and she’s also mastered a Southern classic, the egg custard pie, which Carla says is getting harder and harder to find in grocery store bakeries and in restaurants.
For doughnut making, Carla and Randall recruited Larry Pope, who once worked for both the Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ Donuts companies.
