The Publick House Bake Shop has been an important memory for my family for more than 35 years. No trip to Sturbridge Village was complete with a stop here for their sticky buns and elephant ears.” I thought I would relive the memory on a...recent trip to Sturbridge and stopped in to the Bake Shop. I wish I hadn’t because this inferior experience will be my last memory of the shop. There were three sticky buns in the case. I asked if they were the regular ones or the minis and was told these are the ones they made today., They were small, pale and had almost none of the caramel topping and nuts that made them so delicious. I opted for a cherry turnover and raspberry elephant ear instead. The turnover was good, moderately flaky with a proportionate amount of filling. The elephant ear, however, had to have sat in the case for days. Rather than a crispy pastry that puff pastry dough should produce, this item was soggy and chewy. Such a disappointment. Sadly, this will be my last visit to the bake shop. I regret that it will color the positive experiences my family and I had previously.More
