Dear friends and patrons of the former Sebastian’s Best,

We’ve missed you! We hope this holiday season finds you well and happy. We’ve been bustling around settling into our new environments: Elena is in preschool, Amy is teaching Kindergarten, and Sebastian has been interviewing for Pastry Chef positions.

Even though we don’t have a retail location, we’ve been getting many requests for bread and holiday pastries. While we’re not equipped to produce a large variety of items, we’ve decided to provide once a week bread ordering dates in January.

Here are the details:

- Each Monday in January (the 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th), Sebastian will make as many as 26 loaves of Bavarian Bread (our Spelt Sourdough recipe) depending on demand. Get us your orders to us by the Friday before, so we can purchase ingredients. Please specify sliced or unsliced.

All of these items ship beautifully, and of course, we are happy to ship them for you if you so desire. A handling fee of $3 will be added to any items you’d like us to ship. The shipping charge itself will depend on the size and destination of your order—we’ll calculate this for you and let you know before final processing.

Pick up location for all baked goods is our home in Rainier—we will create a special pick-up point on our porch, complete with self-serve drop box for your payment. This will be an unmanned station (just like they do it in Sebastian’s village), so please be sure to bring correct change, pens to write you checks, etc.) If you or someone you know would like to host a similar unmanned station in your neighborhood, let us know—we would be happy to provide free goodies in exchange.

You can always reach us at: 360 292/5497 E-Mail: admin@sebastiansbest.com

Happy Holidays!

Sebastian Amy and Elena

December 21st:
Late breaking fruitcake news!

Unmanned fruitcake and nut tort stand now operating at Gordon’s Garden Center! This stand will stay through January, as we test our Bavarian Bread Tuesday sales at the same location. Thank you Kellie Petersen and Gordon’s staff for you kind support of our business, and for providing our customers with easy pick-up near the old bakery location! (A snow fairy told me that Gordon’s staff even cut up some fruitcake and tort in little bits for passersby to eat and enjoy.)

Gordon’s is open:

Tuesdays through Saturdays 10:00 - 5:30

Sundays 10:00 – 5:00.
They will also be open this Monday the 22nd.

Gordon’s phone number is: 360 458-2481

If you are leaving a check, please make it payable to Sebastian and Amy Schefer. You can also leave cash in our little envelopes there. (Instructions on-site)

As we previously shared, the Walnut Caramel Tort is selling for $36 for a 10” tort—last we checked there were some partial torts still available. Fruitcake is $17.25 per pound—Sebastian portioned different sizes and gift wrapped them. Both the Fruitcake and the Tort keep for extended periods (fruitcake, as you probably know, keeps almost forever, and walnut caramel torte keeps nicely for 6 weeks unrefrigerated)...
