Thank you Columbia for selling me out of sourdough for the second week in a row! Even more special, I had three customers come back after buying from me last week to buy more... there is no better compliment than that! 🥰

Hi friends!! Guess what?! It's my birthday week! This week I will not be at the market in Waterloo on Saturday, only the Columbia market on Thursday from 4-7. Therefore, I have extra time this week for baking and would love to bake especially for you! ❤️

Please check out my Bakesy Shop! I can make you hand rolled sourdough pretzels, gooey and delicious sourdough cinnamon rolls, some of the best cookies you've ever had (I promise!) and lots of other yummy things! 😍

Want a rich, decadent dessert for your Mother's Day celebration? It doesn't get much more sinful than my sourdough blondie cake topped with chocolate ganache. 😋 I will have a limited number of these available this Saturday at the Monroe County IL Farmers Market or you can pre-order at the link below to reserve yours for pickup at the market!
