A bakery with a distinct—and delicious—point of view, Mayflour uses organic ingredients, farm-fresh eggs, and all natural flavors and colorings, avoiding shortening, vegetable oils, and corn syrup. Their gorgeous cakes reflect this philosophy as well, decorated in simple elegance with silky Italian meringue buttercream and flowers from local farms. 162 Main St., Essex, 978-216-2606, mayflour.co
