Viennese poppyseed torte is marvelous
If you love poppyseeds (as I do), and live in Seattle or Edmonds, stop by the Fleissig Bakery table at the West Seattle, Edmonds, or Lake City farmers markets some time. They make a wheatless poppyseed torte that’s just incredible. Oh my. Not too sweet; just right, with layers of flavor.
The ingredients, since I don’t see them on the website: ground poppy seeds, ground almonds, organic eggs, organic butter, organic sugar, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and cloves.
The photos on their website are awful, though. Some enterprising local photographer ought to offer to swap his or her food-photography services for goodies.

Oh no! I am sorry to hear that. I hope to see you guys back at the market in a few years. And if you do take it up again, do consider dropping me a line — I know a photographer who is allergic to wheat and loves that poppyseed torte. I could probably hook you guys up for a labor trade.

Heh. Well, that much we can agree on.
I keep thinking about making it not suck, but eh.
