The Flour Pot's Cherry and Cheese Danish

Tastemaker

Classic treats meet modern flair at The Flour Pot Bakery and Coffeeshop in Elk Rapids. This sugary mecca has been cranking out baked goods for decades, and though its name has changed, the recipes haven’t. We especially love the Cherry and Cheese Danish ($3.50) for spring. A perfectly sweet and buttery balance, this cult-favorite pastry is made from a layered dough—which takes about four days to create!—that’s been hand-rolled and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, baked until fluffy, and packed with creamy cheesecake, whole tart cherries, and a swirl of homemade cherry jelly. Good luck stopping at just one! Stock up on some cherry tasty goodies at The Flour Pot’s storefront in Elk Rapids (108 River St.), and keep your eyes peeled for updated summer hours! theflourpot.co
