The temporary bakery of artist
Will Cotton opened today at Partners & Spade (40 Great Jones St.) in Manhattan.

Apple Caramel Tarts and Chocolate Raspberry Cakes.
A spread of ginger, lemon and other flavors of macaroon ahead of Cotton's sleek monogrammed packaging.
Like a true baker, Cotton looks closely at what's happening in the mixer.
Cotton and his assistants (who wore W-emblazoned aprons and cutesy headpieces) were being photographed by a few different people at once.
The artist-baker steps away from production to inspect a cake.
The bakery was busy with customers just a half hour after opening to the public.
Torn between the macaroons and the apple tart, I went with the cake. The verdict: this flawless mix of raspberry and chocolate, with a crispy outside and a moist center, was worth every penny ($7.59) and more.
You can view and purchase Cotton's confections at
Partners & Spade on Sundays, Nov. 15 and Nov. 22.
