The Brewmaster's Bakery

05/18/2026

I love the compliments on my cookies, brownies and everything else. I always tell people “I’m not trained. I just use real ingredients and make things from scratch!” (You’d be amazed how many bakeries buy cake mixes and buttercream already made. Or imitation vanilla and fake butter)

Anyway, something I enjoy making is my own vanilla extract. It’s a labor of love (I allow the extraction process to take place over a minimum of a year. Some people will just wait two months, but that’s never enough! I need every last bit of vanilla!)

✨I make single fold and double fold - changes strength in flavor.
✨I use Madagascar, Tahitian and Mexican. They all have different flavor profiles and compliment different items.
✨I use vodka and bourbon to make the extracts with.

One of the best things you can do as a baker is invest in some real vanilla, especially if you like to make your own frostings.

Doesn’t look like much, but it’s the start of a cake I am dreading. Stay tuned for what I could possibly be dying sanding sugar BLACK for…🥴

Happy to be making food for our sister shop: for everyone to enjoy. Our fresh pasta salad is made with rigatoni this week and features our zesty house made Italian dressing. Our buttercream dream is a marble cake with a vanilla frosting made with our house made vanilla extract.

Never too early to start farmers market prep! The other weekend I headed up to and got to enjoy some pizza. One of the toppings was “candied jalapenos”, so I had to look into what the difference is between candied and pickled. So look for these amazing little spicy nuggets in some of my creations this summer!

Not every swing is a hit, but that’s the fun in playing in my bakery, at least there are lessons to be learned and applied next time. This is some blueberry “fruit leather” using blueberries. Notes have been made and excited for fresh berry season because then I KNOW they’re gonna be 🔥🔥🔥

It’s an office day, so the menace known as Mickie is hanging and look what she found! She’s as much of a fan of as I am!
