Coffeecake Challenge on Charlotte Street - St
Augustine, Florida
By Susanne on Feb 2, 2008 in Food, North Florida, St
Augustine
St.
Augustine, Florida (February 3, 2008) Many cherished
coffeecake recipes and fond cooking memories are
disappearing from the table of family and friends in
America today. The Inn on Charlotte is hosting a
Coffeecake Challenge recipe contest – with one Grand
Prize - a 2-night luxurious stay at the Inn (circa
1918).
Lynne Fairfield, owner of the Inn on Charlotte,
prepares a signature two-course breakfast daily,
taking pride in the fresh fruits, grains and
seasonal vegetables for her entrees. But it’s always
the cake that wins her guests’ admiration and
request for recipes. “Coffeecake is reminiscent of a
time when the kitchen aromas from breakfast enticed
a family to eat together; I remember weekends when
baking was an activity that family and friends
shared together”.
The Grand Prize Winner Receives:
-
2-night stay at the Inn on Charlotte (Sunday
thru Thursday excluding holiday periods). All
Inn amenities including gourmet breakfast and
afternoon social hour with homemade refreshments
-
Gourmet Lunch for Two at one of St. Augustine’s
Fine Restaurants
-
Claude’s Chocolate – exquisite European
chocolates made in St. Augustine

The 10 most romantic
Florida B&Bs
Need a little pampering? These inns are just the
ticket

You can get by this Valentine's Day with red roses
and chocolates in a big, heart-shaped box. But if
you really want to keep the flame of romance
burning, spring for a night or two in an intimate
bed-and-breakfast. Nothing evokes closeness like a
getaway to a B&B with a great four-poster bed, fine
linen sheets and plump pillows. Nothing says lovin'
like toasting your union before a crackling
fireplace or in a tub for two brimming with bubbles
and surrounded by candles.
Florida is blessed with some of the finest
bed-and-breakfasts around. Some of them are on sandy
shores with palm trees and hammocks. Some come with
horses who lead guests down happy trails. All of
them include yummy breakfasts you don't have to
make.
Inn on Charlotte in St. Augustine
From fine, locally made French chocolates to Eggs
Benedict fit for a king and queen, it's gourmet all
the way at the Inn on Charlotte.
Expect first-rate breakfasts. Owner Lynne Fairfield,
with 25 years' experience in the hospitality
business, and her sister Valerie Wright, a graduate
of London's Le Cordon Bleu, sometimes give cooking
classes at the inn.
And the food isn't alone in its grandness. Attention
to detail inside and out, and the use of antiques
and fine reproductions give this Old Town inn a
luxurious feel. Most rooms have Jacuzzis, a welcome
retreat after an afternoon's hike down brick-lined
streets. Also welcome — and relaxing — are the inn's
porches, comfortably furnished with wicker rockers
and chairs and perfect spots to catch late-day
breezes.
The Castillo de San Marco, a historic fort, the
Bridge of Lions, horse-drawn carriage tours, evening
ghost tours and the shops of St. George Street, are
within walking distance. Parking can be challenging
in this heavily visited tourist town. That's why
it's wise to park you car at the inn, or a block
away at a parking lot reserved for guests, and hoof
it to shops, restaurants and attractions. Another
good option — take the trolley.
Toast your love with complimentary mimosas,
available on request during breakfast on weekends
and holidays.
For reservations or more information, call (800)
