Borealis Bakery
Based in Azuremyst, Borealis Bakery was founded shortly after the Exodar's arrival to Azeroth. Everything is crafted with utmost care, and all ingredients are locally sourced. Whilst we are known for our selection of baked goods, we also offer a number of artisan cheeses. If you wish to contact us, we can be reached by letter!- Viiumi
Menu
We like to keep our menus as accessible as possible. We have copies of it transcribed in Common, Draenei, Darnassian, Orcish and Braille readily available at our stall. Please take all the time you need to read!
Galaxy Glazed Doughnut
20 Coppers each
Our most popular item! Inspired by our travels through the vast cosmos. These doughnuts are vanilla flavoured and coated in a layer of glossy, marbled icing coloured by natural dyes. Topped with a couple of sugar stars to complete the dreamy space theme. Especially sweet in taste, quite fluffy in texture.
Gingerbread Draenei
5 Coppers each
Gingerbread is typically reserved for Winter Veil, though these cookies are offered all year round at Borealis! It took hours of hard work but Viiumi finally managed to create a cookie-cutter design which resembled herself: hooves, horns and all! Lovingly decorated with royal icing. Sweet, snappy with a slight peppery kick.
Sand Pear Pie
10 Coppers a slice
This slice of pie is made from the juicy fruit of a sand pear! Native to Bloodmyst Isle, the bright flesh of these pears are favoured by the elekk of this region in particular. Aonar was the first of the draenei to pioneer this recipe- I have since placed my own spin on it by adding lemon zest and nutmeg. My dear customer, worry not- the fruit grows only in the uncorrupted parts of the island. No radiation pie for you!
Kaldorei Pine Nut Bread
15 Coppers each
Baked especially for the Alor'el Spring Festival! An ancient recipe that I have learnt from my Darnassian neighbours, made from hive honey, pine nuts and foraged herbs. I've tried my best to braid it into a shape of a leaf in order to honor the memory of Teldrassil. Pairs nicely with stew!
Gilnean Sponge Cake
10 Coppers a slice
A light slice of cake which pairs wonderfully with tea! It contains a layer of sweet strawberry jam sandwiched between whipped cream. The top of the slice is decorated with a dusting of granulated sugar, sliced strawberries and piped cream resembling Gilnean roses.
Mana Macarons
60 Coppers a set
A rainbow selection of six different flavoured and coloured macarons: strawberry, peach, lemon, pistachio, moonberry and lavender. They are presented in a pretty little box! Each replenishes lost mana by a little once eaten.
Holy Cross Bun
15 Coppers each
Spiced buns containing dried fruit, such as currants, and the citrus of oranges. Served warm and fresh. A cross, the symbol of the Holy Light, is marked on top. Enjoyed by priests and paladins especially!
Ammen Loaf
15 Coppers a loaf
A bread recipe first developed in Ammen Vale- it has since become a staple in the diets of our people. Traditionally this hefty loaf is thrice baked, which makes the bread rather crunchy and dry, but the variant I sell is a lot softer in texture. It is packed with edible seeds foraged from around Azuremyst Isle. Good for building sandwiches with, once sliced!
Shadowmoon Samosa
5 Coppers each
A spicy triangular pastry which has been baked until crispy. The filling contains peas, mashed potatoes, cultivated fireweed and crushed Draenic spices. Of note is the samosa's blue colour, derived from the dye of the starflower, which is a plant native to Shadowmoon Valley in Draenor. A great snack if you prefer savoury items!
Rock Cookie
5 Coppers each
Cookies that resemble colourful gem geodes! The 'crystal' inclusions are actually pieces of popping candy. The recipe for these cookies was developed after a conversation with a friendly Drogbar in Dalaran Market! I learnt that we share quite a lot in common with the Drogbar, given that we both have an affinity for rocks and jewels.
Talbuk Cheese Tart
10 Coppers a slice
A slice of savoury cheese tart, made from caramalised onion, puff pastry, foraged herbs and soft talbuk cheese. It is a recipe from Embaari Village, my childhood home, which was known for its farming community and delicious food. The talbuk I source my dairy from are descended from the talbuk of Embaari Village.
Planetary Cake Pops
10 Coppers a set
Spheres of cake mixed with sweet frosting, then coated with chocolate and served on little sticks- quite like a lollipop. Sold in sets of three with designs inspired by the planets Argus, Draenor and Azeroth in their prime. Tied together with a neat little ribbon. Good to share with a couple of friends!
Crescent Croissant
10 Coppers each
A vanilla flavoured pastry, rolled into a curved moon-like shape. Best eaten for breakfast, or with tea! Puffy and flaky in texture. Please inquire if you'd like it to have a filling- I can offer a chocolate, moonberry or almond paste!
Shortbread Star
5 Coppers each
A bite-sized star biscuit made from shortbread, for those who prefer something simple! Since it is so small, it makes for a good travelling snack. Buttery in flavour, crumbly in texture. Buy a half-dozen in a paper bag for 30 Coppers.
Borealis Butter
30 Coppers a block
Butter made by churning the cream skimmed from talbuk milk. Light in colour and with an almond-like flavour. Sculpted into a cute talbuk shape and packaged in compostable waxed paper. May be used as a condiment or a cooking ingredient.
Telaari Jam
35 Coppers a jar
A pretty glass jar of jam made from the pulp of Telaari grapes, native to Nagrand. It is a pleasant bright green colour and has a sweet taste, with some slightly sour notes. Serves as a nice souvenir. Spread it on bread!
Cheese
Telmor-Aruuna Cheese
25 Coppers a block
A block of hard talbuk cheese which works as a good cooking ingredient. The original recipe originated from Talador, which is now known as Terokkar Forest. My version is made with a plant-based rennet, produced from thistles- which talbuk quite like to eat! Dense with an earthy, tangy taste. Light in colouration.
Smoked String Cheese
30 Coppers each
This smoked cheese, made from the milk of elekk, is stringy and chewy in texture. It is sold braided into a pretty rope shape which resembles plaited hair, thanks to the cheese's pliable kneaded consistency. Salty, smoky and typically paired with beer as a snack!
Purple Moon Cheddar
40 Coppers a block
A special hard cheese made from the milk of farmed elekk. These elekk are orchid-fed in the fields of Azuremyst Isle, which gives the salty cheese some slight floral, fruity notes. The rind of the cheese is a beautiful violet hue, made possible by soaking it in Darnassian wine. It serves as a symbol of the collaborative bond between the Kaldorei and Draenei people.
Embaari Feta
20 Coppers a block
A soft, briny Talbuk cheese which works wonderfully in salads and pies. It has a crumbly, grainy texture and a mild tangy, almost sour taste. White in colouration and lightly sprinkled with aromatic Draenic herbs. This specific cheese has its roots in Embaari Village on Draenor, where I grew up, so it is quite dear to me.
Golden Gouda
1 Silver a block
A expensive, high-quality cheese that appeals to the Lightforged Draenei. This type of gouda cheese is aged for over two years, which allows 'crystals' to naturally form during maturation. The flavour of this cheese is deep and can be compared to sweet caramel or fudge. It has a rich golden colour, and almost appears to glow!
Cream Cheese
20 Coppers a block
Served fresh, cream cheese is just as soft and silky smooth as the name suggests. Made from Elekk milk and cream. It is very mild in flavour and typically used as a dip or for spreading on bread. Sold wrapped in foil.
Darnassian Bleu
30 Coppers a block
Imported cheese of Kaldorei origin. Blue veins, which are cultured edible mould, run across and through the cheese. An acquired taste- it has a sharp, salty flavour and a pungent aroma. I don't quite know what milk the cheese is made from, but I will not question it!
