<\/span> Just A Bite! Bakery Cafe<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An April, 2009 article in the Taos News<\/em> reveals just how much cultural attitudes\u00a0have changed in the county in which I grew up\u00a0toward men in the kitchen. \u00a0The article profiled a Taos High School culinary arts team–comprised of three boys and one young lady–which triumphed over 16 other New Mexico schools in a state-wide cooking competition to earn a\u00a0berth\u00a0on the national stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the dark ages when I attended high school, any male student deigning to admit to enjoy cooking would have been dismissed as a (select your own pejorative) and might even have incurred physical harm. \u00a0When I enrolled in Home Economics as a senior, I spared myself merciless taunting and possibly painful beatings by telling my friends it was solely so I could eat the food prepared by the female students (not surprisingly my pals thought it was a good idea, too). \u00a0As if by malevolent design, the first semester of the class was dedicated to sewing, a torturous ordeal for which my profound lack of interest proved an early undoing. I quit well before semester’s end.<\/span><\/p>\n

My next flirtation with participating in the culinary arts came when I enlisted in the Air Force. \u00a0With vocational aptitude scores higher than the average bear (thank you Jim Millington for that line), I naturally believed the stereotype that the military makes mechanics out of accomplished chefs and cooks out of brainiacs like me (obviously I had no appreciation for just how much intellect it takes to be a good cook). \u00a0It was not to be.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Paradise
<\/span> Paradise under glass at Just A Bite!<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some people are destined to showcase their talents in the kitchen. \u00a0Some, like me, are obviously not. \u00a0At the opposite spectrum of this “would be chef” are people upon whom the culinary gods smiled–beatific bakers like Amy Markham-Sandoval, proprietor of Just A Bite! Bakery Cafe on San Pedro. \u00a0Before she launched her bakehouse business she worked at a police station where her peace officer pleasing pastries (and not just donuts) so enamored her work colleagues that they convinced her to open a bakery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Talk about misnomer! \u00a0“Just A Bite!” is, like the potato chips in the old Lays potato chips commercials, not something of which you can have just one bite. \u00a0Nor are the decadent and delicious baked goods something you will want to wolf down voraciously. \u00a0You’ll want to savor each morsel slowly and luxuriate in its sugary scrumptiousness.\u00a0 Even among the “bite-sized” confections, you’ll want to take your time and drive your taste buds crazy with delight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just A Bite! is located in a characterless shopping center on San Pedro just south of Paseo del Norte. \u00a0It is situated just before the bend on the L-shaped complex, occupying one of the smaller retail spaces. \u00a0It’s not the type of store which will catch your eye, but it is the type of store which will earn a reputation strictly by word of mouth. \u00a0That’s how I found out about it. \u00a0Barbara Trembath, a fellow gourmand, told me about Just A Bite in her own inimitable way, “These are the best damn cupcakes on the planet. Little, tiny, deceptive mouthfuls of sugary happiness. \u00a0I might be persuaded to do just about anything for a dozen of their red velvet mini cupcakes<\/em>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Small
<\/span> Small in size, humongous in flavor<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just A Bite!’s cupcakes are indeed mouthfuls of sugary happiness with the “large” cupcakes (strictly by virtue of the increased number of bites provided) offering more happiness than the bite-size, irresistibly cute mini cupcakes. \u00a0Perhaps nothing epitomizes “lovin’ from the oven” better than a great cupcake or ten. \u00a0Whether your pleasure is the moist and marvelous triple chocolate cupcake<\/em> (chocolate cake with a house-made fresh chocolate cream filling topped with chocolate frosting) or the intensely flavored cinnamon spice cupcake<\/em> (made with cinnamon and cloves), Just A Bite!’s choices are sure to please.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tiny though they might be, the mini cupcakes are often the inspiration for wedding cakes. \u00a0Just A Bite! offers bridal consultation by appointment, showcasing wedding cakes that don’t look as if they are constructed of plaster of Paris and taste like an overdose of sugar. \u00a0In fact, the inspiration for many of the wedding cakes are sometimes the cupcakes which can be turned into a wedding cake. \u00a0These cupcakes really do take the cake. <\/span><\/p>\n

All baked goods–fresh pies, cookies, cheesecakes, brownies and oh, so much more–are made on the premises and are made fresh to order. \u00a0Not only will you be stuffed when you’ve sated your sweet tooth, the stuff which fills you up may also be stuffed. \u00a0Cinnamon roll spirals stuffed with a cream cheese mixture then baked and smothered with a butter cream frosting are a popular favorite, but an even more exotic offering are stuffed strawberries<\/em>, huge strawberries stuffed with cheesecake then dipped in imported Belgian chocolate.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/span> A Turkey Sandwich<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lest you think this is all about delicious decadence and scrumptious sweetness, Just A Bite!’s menu includes breakfast sandwiches served with fruit. \u00a0Box lunches are also available. \u00a0They include a sandwich, chips or pasta, salad, fruit and a cupcake. \u00a0Sandwiches are made with your choice of croissant, whole grain white, wheat or sourdough. \u00a0From an Italian inspired Italian sandwich<\/em> (pepperoni, ham and cheese) to the rudimentary old-fashioned egg salad sandwich<\/em>, the options are deliciously appealing.\u00a0 A Veggie and Cheese sandwich (no sprouts or cucumbers) is also available.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Alas, as was my experience the first time I visited Just A Bite hoping to try one of the more “inventive” sandwiches on the menu, the only remaining options (at 12:15) were ham or turkey (and not the Albuquerque Turkey listed on the Web site).\u00a0 It was a rather plain sandwich–turkey, Cheddar and lettuce along with a packet of mustard.\u00a0 Luckily my disappointment was quelled by three mini cupcakes (two mini chocolate and one lemon curd).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Even my neanderthal classmates would find much to love at Just A Bite!, a bakery brimming with delicious options lovingly crafted by someone fortunate and talented enough to excel in the culinary arts.<\/span><\/p>\n
