MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST (GULF COAST WEEKEND) - Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and you could just pick up a box of chocolates and some red roses like every other person in America. Or you could impress your sweetheart with something different. Something handmade. Something local!
Check out these Mississippi Gulf Coast bakeries and candy makers for some sweet treats this February 14th (or any day, really).
Le Bakery, Biloxi - This iconic French Vietnamese bakery is known for their fresh baguettes, turnovers, king cakes, and banh mi sandwiches. They can also make just about any custom cake you can dream up, and always have fun treats for the holidays. In February you’ll find the cases filled with love themed petit fours and their unique chocolate dipped strawberries stuffed with cheesecake, which the bakery has dubbed “babymakers.” (Results not guaranteed. If you absolutely want a baby, you may want to stick with the little plastic ones in the king cakes.)
Located in East Biloxi at 280 Oak St., the bakery is open every day but Monday. Learn more at https://www.facebook.com/LeBakeryBiloxi
