Tout de Sweet: A Bakery of Wonders

Tout de Sweet is the most legendary bakery in the town of Nashville with all kinds of people visiting it, even poor ones from the Black Town of Europe. The structure of the building is made of white marble tinged with contradictory red sandstone, materials one hardly finds in the twenty-first century. Today, Alonso Horner- a journalist- visits the bakery. As soon as the glass door closes behind Horner, he is cloaked by the captivating scent of recently baked dough and flour. The bakery is large enough to hold the large number of people who enjoy buying from there, and Horner feels just like a child feels when his mother gently caresses his cheek with motherly love and admiration.

Soon, Horner’s wonder turns into edginess as he waits for his turn in the long line in front of the cashier where the baker, a young gentleman, stands calmly doing his work. Tout de Sweet’s another one of astounding things is the baker, Curtis, who never hurries things up no matter how much or less the work is. Horner’s impatience again turns into awe and respect for Curtis and the bakery. The loud shouts of the customers and soft whispers of Curtis fill the walls of Tout de Sweet and travel outside once in a while when another swarm of customers enter the bakery through the door.

When it is Horner’s turn he asks for a sample of a blueberry shortcake which tastes heavenly; inhuman at most, in a way in which only gods may be worthy enough to taste such delightful treat. But while it is available Horner purchases the shortcake, pays Curtis the amount he deserves; rightfully so and offers him a appreciative nod, thankful for the presence of such a reasonable and wallet-friendly bakery. Just as its name suggests, Tout de Sweet is all sweet and none bitter.
