A very special bourbon banoffee pecan cinnamon roll.

Recently, I collaborated with Our State Magazine to tell the story of Greensboro baker Veneé Pawlowski. Her cinnamon roll won the $5000 General Mills' 2020 Neighborhood to Nation Recipe Contest and local fame. Although no stranger to the professional baking scene, Pawlowski maximized her time at home during a pandemic to open Black Magnolia Southern Patisserie, a micro-bakery in her very own kitchen. 

I had the opportunity to photograph her and her famous bourbon "banoffee" pecan cinnamon rolls at the Historic Double Oakes bed and Breakfast, where she has a store. I included vignettes of the building's Colonial Revival style architecture as much as possible in all the shots, especially the portraits.
