Bright's Northfield Restaurant Blog

When you happen to be in Plainview, Mn, in southeastern Minnesota, you’d be very sad to hear that you had
missed going to this very tiny, very quaint bakery with giant huge flavor and awesome tastiness when it comes
to their cupcakes, of which I had many.
We had heard through the grapevine that the cupcakes were quite good so we took a little 15 mile hop off Hwy 61 to Plainview and found this bakery shop right away on Broadway and 3rd Street. You cannot miss it as you drive into
town because it is the only pink store on that main strip. Like right out of a kid’s book, this shop sticks right out.

The cupcakes are so good I cannot imagine how they would ever be better. I had the coconut with cherry on top and chocolate cake, I also had the lemon cake and icing with raspberry in the middle and a lemon candy drop atop of lemon icing and raspberry candy coating. The ingredients are top notch and taste as fresh as can be. I also had a brownie, which would be what I could make if I could, and a maple cupcake which was just delish! I also have the nut roll, but no room to eat it a day and a half later. Sorry, you’ll have to see it for yourself.

I would recommend this shop to the Pope and his mom, it’s so good. They also have tea and coffee.

Stop by and tell them Bright and Doug sent you. Have a great time and don’t forget some to take home to your favorite people.

Back in my hometown of Chicago, there was this wonderful small in stature woman whose name is
Lily. I would often see her on the elevator in the apartment building where we both lived. I would
ask her how she was doing, concerned especially because she was up in age and living alone, and
she would always reply, “Still kicking!”, and then she would kick her foot up a few inches and smile.
Right after that she would ask me how I was and compliment me on my earrings or scarf or something.
Sometimes she would tell me the same earrings I had on the week before were pretty.

I always thought Lily was a special and wonderful gal. She gave me hope and lifted my grumpy spirits
on days I thought weren’t worth the effort. But now, after Lily is gone, I do what she did. Thank you,
Lily. Thank you.
