PH rotated for Best Dessert IN PRESTON HOLLOW

VOTE ONCE A DAY, OCTOBER 1ST TO OCTOBER 24TH.

And the winner is …

Crème de la Cookie opened in the Preston Royal Plaza (6025 Royal) four years ago, introducing neighbors to the cakeballs, cinnamon rolls and OMG chocolate chip cookies that propelled the bakery to notoriety in its original Snider Plaza location. Owner Toni Rivard says her fine ingredients, such as the Schokinag chocolate from Germany in the aforementioned cookies, are behind her success.

“We use quality ingredients and bake 100 percent from scratch. Not many bakeries do that,” she says.

This year Preston Hollow Advocate readers took notice, voting Crème de la Cookie as the best dessert spot in the neighborhood.

Rivard says her inspiration for new gourmet sweets comes from fruit that is fresh and seasonal. This month, the bakery features holiday muffins and mini pie bites in flavors such as buttermilk chess, pecan, cranberry and pumpkin, to name a few.
