We've made it through the long, treacherous Pacific Northwest winter, and it's time for a little reward. In celebration of Easter, the bakery pop-up Bubblegum Bakery will sling delicately flavored springtime baked goods like rhubarb and pistachio maritozzi (Roman brioche buns), chocolate nest pies, lemon and olive oil layer cakes, and frosted cookie sandwiches at the Montavilla cafe and market Zuckercreme.
