Crafting Happiness, One Loaf at a Time

I’m Carolyn, the baker behind this little homegrown dream. After years in a fast‑paced executive career, I finally listened to the pull of something deeper — the joy I feel when creating food that makes people smile. Today, I pour that passion into every sourdough loaf, cookie batch, and jar of homemade canned goods that comes out of my kitchen.

Baking has always been my way of slowing down, connecting, and sharing comfort. What started as a personal creative outlet has grown into a home bakery built on warmth, community, and the simple belief that good food brings people together. I thrive on crafting small‑batch, made‑with-love creations that feel nostalgic, nourishing, and just a little magical.

Whether it’s the crackle of a fresh sourdough crust, the sweetness of a cookie still warm from the oven, or the familiar taste of a lovingly canned jam, my goal is the same: to bring a moment of joy to your day.

Thank you for supporting this new chapter — it means more than you know.

Hot Out Of The Oven...

My sourdough breads are handcrafted in small batches using long fermentation, simple ingredients, and a whole lot of care. Each loaf develops a naturally tangy depth of flavor, a beautifully blistered crust, and a soft, airy crumb. Whether you choose a classic plain sourdough or one of my flavorful inclusions, every bake is meant to be shared, savored, and enjoyed fresh from my kitchen to yours.
