You know you’ve found a good bakery when you are still talking about the muffin you ate the day before. Seriously, I AM IN LOVE with the gingerbread muffin I ate yesterday at the Gingerbread Construction Company in Wakefield, Massachusetts and everybody needs to know about it. 😉
A few days ago, One Hundred Dollars a Month reader Barbara sent me an email telling me about one of her favorite bakeries, the Gingerbread Construction Company. So yesterday, the HH and I decided to stop by and check it out after dropping my parents off at the airport. And let me tell you Bob, I’m so glad we decided to make the mini detour on our way home.
There were so many muffins!
We didn’t know what to order so we asked the lady behind the counter what the best selling muffins were. The best selling muffin at the Gingerbread Construction Company in Wakefield, Massachusetts, was the the gingerbread muffin of course {I don’t know why, but I was amused by this, I guess it should have been obvious, it being a gingerbread place and all}.
So we ordered one gingerbread muffin, and blueberry, coffee cake and a strawberry shortcake muffin as well. And then we noticed the gingerbread whoopie pies, and needed one of those.
And two gingerbread cookies and a gingerbread muffin loaf to bring home. Because apparently we are a bunch of little piggies who can’t resist baked goods.
Gingerbread + Cream Cheese = LOVE
Gingerbread cookies… One for each hand. Seems reasonable, right?
So, if you are anywhere near the Wakefield, Massachusetts area {it’s only about 20 minutes from Boston} or you are looking for a sweet treat to send someone this fall, don’t hesitate to stop in and load up on muffins or place an order online. This place, is the bomb diggety. Everything is CRAZY moist and so fresh, you won’t be disappointed, I’m sure of it!
I’m already counting down the days until we can go back.
Good, independent hometown bakeries, you just can’t beat them!

I can only imagine how wonderful this place is around Christmas!! Maybe you will have to return for a gingerbread house for the homestead!

Marie says
My family and I walk around the lake right across the street from the Gingerbread Construction on a regular basis and we always stop by for a treat. Best muffins around! Sooo good! We even get them for Christmas morning, everyone picks out their favorite. Happy to see you enjoyed it as well!
Mavis Butterfield says
Wakefield looks like a really neat town. I’m so glad we took Barbara’s advice and went.

That gingerbread muffin is going to be TOUGH to beat! I don’t think it can be done. Best muffin ever in my book! 🙂
Susan says
Ha, i live 5 minutes from here, too. I’m not a muffin person, but I know tons of people who are die hard fans. 🙂 How fun, and beautifully positioned across from the lake.
