As the leaves start to change color and fall from the trees Bon Bon’s bakery in downtown Cape Girardeau is drawing in many customers with a delicious selection of pumpkin treats. Under the direction of manager Adam Gardiner, the bakery is featuring homemade pumpkin cinnamon rolls and pumpkin macaroons.

Everything is homemade here. You know, the macaroons are made weekly. They’re our biggest seller. They’re just light and fluffy and airy. They’re also gluten-free, so a lot of people can do that because there’s no flour in them or anything like that.

–Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
The pumpkin macaroons, described by Gardiner as “light, fluffy, airy, & gluten-free” have become the bakery’s top selling item. In contrast the newly introduced pumpkin cinnamon rolls offer a twist on a classic favorite, with a pumpkin spice filling & a festive pumpkin drizzle topped with orange sprinkles. Gardiner reports that the response to these fall offerings has been very positive. “We’ve posted about our pumpkin treats on Facebook, and the feedback has been amazing,” he said.
–Lots of options!
–Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
“The cinnamon rolls are just our homemade recipe that we’ve had for years. We’ve added pumpkin spice inside and topped them with a pumpkin drizzle and orange sprinkles for a festive look.”
