Cannoli

Well if you're from Boston, you know that there are two bakeries in the Italian North End to seek out for a classic Sicilian cannoli. While Mike's Pastry is constantly packed and often with a line out the door, Modern Pastry, at 257 Hanover Street, will fill your cannoli in front of you as you choose the shell and any extras. Which would you choose? Exactly. 

When I found out that Modern Pastry actually attempts to ship their cannoli, I thought, "Hmm, what special event is coming up?" Sadly, since its summer, they caution not to ship their chocolates or cannoli. But, then I did some more research and found that Mike's Pastry also ships their cannoli... as a kit! A Do It Yourself kit is way more exciting then just getting cannoli in the mail, right? And, they ship anywhere in the US, regardless of hot weather! 

So, if you find yourself in Boston, choose Modern Pastry for a good cannoli. However, if you live in Orange County, where a good cannoli is hard to find, you can DIY some cannoli

in the comfort of your own home with a kit from Mike's Pastry. What an option!

(If you need a cannoli quick when in Orange County, Roma D' Italia in Tustin is a fine choice.)
