Foodie Friday: House-Made at West Baden Springs Hotel

As you're savoring a burger or dessert from Ballard's in the Atrium, enjoying the array of finger sandwiches, scones and petit fours at Afternoon Tea or diving into the bread basket before your meal at Sinclair's, these breads and pastries were all made in-house in the kitchen of West Baden Springs Hotel. Our three-person pastry team prepares these at different times during the week, depending on schedule and demand. To give you a better idea of the quantity they make, here's a breakdown of just about every in-house pastry item:
Brioche (about 15 loaves per week)
Biscuits
Pizza dough (made about 3 times per week)
Onion rolls for boxed lunches
Cookies
English muffins, their latest venture
Donuts

The pastry team also makes granola, pancake batters, sorbets and gelato for the "Scoop of the Day" at Xanadu, all cakes and desserts for banquets, Wine & Dessert Soiree desserts and tasting menu items all in-house.
Pre-ganached West Baden Signature Chocolate Domes in the making
