June is all jazzy and buttercream. White sugared tents rising slowly on Main Street and early notes winding their way brilliantly through the early summer air surrounding Gibbs and Chestnut…all along the tucked away alleys of this city by the lake.
And in June, there will always be buttercream…tangerine for graduation and chocolate for birthdays and lemon and raspberry for Father’s Day and vanilla…sugared steam coming out of the ovens of Savoia Bakery on Clifford…so rich and grand one must stop and stand still on the old sidewalk to just breathe it all in. Sugar air with musical undertones is mingling over the Eastman legacy…crawling up under the eaves of old wood, a thousand classrooms, settled marble and new fabric…rich, sugary tunes spilling out over rain soaked sidewalks…
