Hamptons Best: The 10 Best Bakeries in the Hamptons...Greetings Hamptons MouthPiece readers…I admit it…I have a sweet tooth…I love dessert, but unfortunately my hips are rebelling and that’s not good*However I do not always deprive myself, I just will indulge only once a week instead of everyday. I hate getting older, when I was younger I could eat a gallon of ice cream, donuts, cakes, cookies everyday and never gain a pound…The joy of getting older! There have been times when I am traveling and looking for a bakery and unable to find a good one, I thought I would make your search just a little easier. Typically when one is invited to someone’s home there are 3 things that a guest might bring *A Bottle of Wine **FlowersDessert

TECHNICAL DESIGN RECOGNITION – I really do wish that this was a judged category, and I have to admit I did not understand why this category was only reduced to recognition. I guess it is because they were all so good they could not choose a winner.

INNOVATIONS IN THEATRE EDUCATION This award recognizes the efforts of a school that goes above and beyond to support exceptional theatre arts education. This year, Bridgehampton High School is being recognized for its production of A Night on Broadway: A Musical Revue, which was a non-book musical written, performed and produced by its students and volunteer staff. This is the first theatrical production in the school, and, we hope, will be the first of many.
Congratulations to All of the 2013 winners…. You are all so very talented…Next year Lilly Spellman, you are so talented, Congratulations on being nominated.

(Sagaponack,NY) Twilight Thursday at Wolffer Estate with Alex …..Be Part of the Experience…Twilight Thursdays at Wolffer Estate Vineyard (139 Sagg Road in Sagaponack, NY) is a Hamptons Tradition at the Winery on Sagg Road a musical afternoon not to be missed! Every Thursday from 5PM to 8PM. Thursday, June 6, 2013 come out and hear Alex, sip some delicious wine and enjoy the breath-taking sunset with some friends. Alex is Lori Stokesof ABC News, oldest daughter.
Talented with a smoky voice – ALEX will be unforgettable!There is a reason ALEX has developed a following.. With her Smokey , Smooth, and Silky style she has mesmerized audiences at a very tender age, far beyond her generation’s expectations. From her sultry ability to captivate singing Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain” to Sting’s introspective “Fragile” she reveals a range and scope that echoes the before and after in the annals of great music literature. Versatile in selections in French, Greek, and Spanish she has enjoyed rave reviews for her international flare.. the famed “Quien sera” is always a big crowd pleaser. In order to reach for the stars, she has now joined forces with the juggernaut Vocal/Artistic director which Oprah Winfrey has dubbed “The Vocal Coach to the Stars”, Kenn Hicks. Even though Kenn’s client list is quite extensive from JLO, Sting, to Mary J. Blige he has taken an interest in ALEX as a true upcoming artist to watch. According to Hicks… “ALEX possesses a wealth of zeal, passion, and compassion when she sings which are vital elements of distinction as an artist carves out their own niche in the world of music.”
Hope to see many of you on June 6th 5-8pm at Wolfer...I had the pleasure to see Alex perform last year at Wolffer and I am looking forward to hearing her again this year…..Check out other Wolffer events this summer…click here...

What is new on Main Street in Southampton? Greetings Hamptons Mouthpiece readers, every year there are businesses that come and go on Main Street in Southampton, NY, and this year is no different. In recent years many of the new businesses have always been on Jobs Lane in Southampton, some seasonal, some pop-ups for the summer and only a few year-rounders. This year as I drove down Main Street I could not help but notice that there were more new businesses added than in earlier years. I thought I would share with you some of the new businesses on Main Street this year. I am told that they will all be year-round businesses closing only for a few weeks in the winter months. That really is fantastic news for the Village of Southampton, NY.

(Southampton, NY) Café Oso has a new Pastry chef.….Greetings Hamptons Mouthpiece readers…Café Oso@ the Southampton Inn has just reopened for the season and breakfast has been added. I visited on Saturday, June 1st and decided to go healthy so I ordered the Egg white omelet with spinach, mushroom and goat cheese. I was not sure about the goat cheese in the omelet, but boy am I happy I did not substitute for another cheese, it was the best choice. My palate was going crazy on each bite because the goat cheese added the right amount of salt to the omelet which gave it a special taste. It was a wonderful breakfast and definitely worthy of making the effort to drive there to eat. It was reasonably priced at $14.00 and it comes with toast & home fries.
Café Oso has a new pastry chef who is famous for the grand Viennese dessert buffet and who will prepare delicious desserts as well as tea sandwiches, petit quiches and Parisian pastries. Pastry Chef Morgan Larsson@ Café OSO has the magic touch and I had the pleasure to be able to taste his delectable pastries yesterday at the Inn. YUMMY is all I can say. My personal favorite were the muffins and the Chocolate croissants…See for yourself, because a picture is worth a thousand words…
It’s a hard job but somebody had to taste these desserts and I took one for the team and volunteered myself. My mind was in Heaven but the rest of my body was screaming noooooooooooooDON’T DO IT TO US…but how could I say no to the chef who had just displayed perfection. My friends these were WICKED good. I am so happy that I do not live by the Inn. WOW is all I can say, Café Oso has a new Pastry chef..come see for yourself.
