Go big this morning

MUFFIN MAMA >>>

There is a ubiquitous muffin in the South Sound seen at most every coffee shop: The oversized mushroom-shaped cakelike pastry that isn't necessarily bad, but gets a bit repetitive. You won't find that kind of muffin at the Mama's Bakery, which is a wholesale business with a storefront. With 21 choices like German chocolate, strawberry, peanut butter, funky monkey, and the most amazing pumpkin cream cheese (new this season) you've ever noshed, these softball-size muffins are guaranteed to tide you over for hours.

The citrus muffins - lemon poppyseed, lemon blueberry, cranberry orange - carry a citrus bite, rather than an overly sweet taste.

Forget those puny, sickly-sweet, cakey, lipid-laced pucks that pass for muffins out there. Mama's makes serious muffins for serious muffin people. Drop one on your toe and you'll be sorry.
