In handsome red, white and blue gift tins with the motif of the state flag, St. Lucia bakery has been shipping a “Little Taste of Texas” to anyone, anywhere, who’s in need of a moist slice of breakfast bread, an afternoon snack or a dessert (try it à la mode).

The bakery’s namesake, Saint Lucia, is said to have traveled from house to house delivering sweet breads to usher in the Christmas season. She wore a flowing white robe and a wreath of candles to light her path. You’re more likely to see a UPS employee in brown logowear.

Whoever delivers a tin of this delectable fruit bread, what a delight when they arrive! Choose from:

Apple Cinnamon Bread (with or without walnuts)

Banana Bread (with or without walnuts)

Berry Blueberry Bread (with or without walnuts)

Chocolate Chunk Bread

Cranberry Bread

Pear Bread With Walnuts

Pumpkin Bread

If it isn’t devoured in a day or two, you can freeze the bread and cut slices as needed. In a mere 15 seconds in the microwave, it emerges warm like fresh-baked.

For $26.99 to $36.99, these gifts will be much appreciated by family, friends and clients. Check out the luscious loaves from St. Lucia.
