By Matt Tate It’s been said Christmas has a way


of bringing out the best in every- one. While some may debate that no-


tion, even Ebenezer Scrooge himself would be hard pressed not to admit that the holidays bring out the best in food. From Grandma’s honey-glazed


ham to your aunt’s scrumptious scalloped potatoes, Christmas is usually one of the highlights of many people’s culinary calendar. And let’s not forget the mouth-wa-


tering desserts and warming drinks. If shopping or holiday get-togethers


are not leaving you enough time in the kitchen to cook, several North Buncombe bakeries are offering a wide range of holiday treats that are sure to please the palette. Well-Bred Bakery in Weaver-


ville is currently featuring a divine chocolate mint mousse cake with peppermint on the frosting that goes perfect with a peppermint mo- cha. If that isn’t to your liking, try a spiced cranberry walnut tart, pump- kin roulade with ginger mascarpone filling or a mini apple pecan praline bundt cake with maple glaze. Te Bake Shoppe in Woodfin has


several more traditional sweet treats, including a stollen, a combination


of German yeast bread with candied fruit, almonds, raisins and brushed with butter and powdered sugar, as well as a kringle, a popular Danish pastry prepared with rich holiday filling such as cinnamon and pecan or apple and walnut. Tere are also an assortment of


cookies, gingerbread men and an el- egant red velvet poinsettia cake with cream cheese icing.
