📒 From My Bakery Notebook: Two More St. Louis Discoveries

Darren and I went exploring again—and two bakeries on my list did not disappoint.

✨ Made by Lia

Oh, my heart.

Light. Whimsical. Delicious nostalgic American sweets.

We brought home a Chocolate Chip Gooey Butter Cake, Giant Oatmeal Cream Pie, Strawberry Scone, Gingerdoodle, and a few savory scones.

No, we didn’t eat them all at once. 😂 We’re making our way through them together.

They were celebrating their birthday all week, and every employee was wearing a party hat. 🎉

THIS.

Delicious baked goods + whimsy + love + always making people feel welcome.

That’s exactly what I want little bakery to be.

And for all of you who have loved little bakery’s St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake—especially those of you who found me at the markets…

🍫 Would you like to try a Chocolate Chip Gooey Butter Cake?

I’m just saying…

I wish I’d bought the whole cake. 🤤

🍪 Insomnia Cookies

Now THIS was an interesting business idea.

Most bakeries are open early and close in the afternoon.

Insomnia? 11am–3am.

For night owls. Late-night workers. Students. Or anyone who simply wants a cookie at midnight. 😉

And every cookie was served warm.

Some came straight from the oven. Others were kept warm.

WOW.

It. Made. Such. A. Difference.

Another note for the Bakery Notebook: temperature matters.

When you pick up a little bakery goodie, I want to know…

Are you eating it today or later?

Because if you’re eating it today, I want you to receive it at the temperature where it’s absolutely at its best.

The details matter.

📒 And apparently, so does bakery research. 😂

Life is sweet…especially when your “job” lets you eat delicious sweets, spend time with your favorite person, and come home inspired👩‍🍳

❤️ Join me in reviewing our Kansas City photos.

Darren and I had such a wonderful weekend visiting Steph and Brennan.

What did we mainly do?

Talk.

We talked and laughed.🤣

We talked and vented.🙃

We chatted and listened.🤔

We cared for each other.🤗

We simply enjoyed being together because we don’t get nearly enough time together.

And we did a few other things, too. 😉

⚾️ A Kauffman Stadium tour—the home of the Kansas City Royals.

🌮 A Mexican restaurant (at my request because I miss good Mexican food SO much in Adelaide).

🧁 Bakeries.

🛍️ Antique shopping.

🎶 A Candlelight Concert with a four-string quartet.

And then, on Sunday, we ended our time together the way we started it…

Talking.

Eventually Darren and I made ourselves leave and head back to St. Louis.

But first…

⚾️ The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum⚾️

It was everything we’d heard it would be and more.

Learning the history was heartbreaking, beautiful, inspiring, and deeply moving.

And learning about the historic 18th & Vine district made the experience even more meaningful.

It was a wonderful, soul-filling weekend.

Exactly what this baker needed. ❤️

Sometimes the sweetest part of a journey isn’t what you see or what you taste.

It’s the people you get to share it with.

Life is sweet…especially when you allow special souls into your life and take the time to be together, laugh together, listen to each other, and explore the world around you👩‍🍳

📒 From My Bakery Notebook: Kansas City

Two bakeries. Two very different discoveries.

🤍 McLain’s Bakery — Since 1945

One of my favorite things about this bakery was a beautiful little tea cookie.

Light. Delicious. Not too sweet.

It reminded me of a Snowball Cookie—a light, almost-shortbread cookie with pieces of nuts throughout, topped with a little swirl of lightly sweet buttercream.

Honestly?

It’s the only cookie you need.

Except for the tea, of course. 😁☕️

Beautiful. Simple. Perfect for afternoon tea.

🍰 Nothing Bundt Cakes

Sometimes the best discoveries are the ones you happen upon.

And these little Bundt Cakes have me thinking…

I tried Chocolate Chocolate Chip and Raspberry Lemonade.

Both were moist, delicious, beautifully flavored and not overly sweet.

But that Raspberry Lemonade?

WOW. 🤯

The icing was simple—powdered sugar, milk and flavoring.

No fancy frosting needed.

Just really good cake + a little icing = ❤️

And now I’m wondering…

Would you like to see little bakery Bundt Cakes?

Different flavors. Different sizes. Simple, delicious cakes for when you just want…

cake. 🎂

And maybe…🤔

Would these be something my sweet business customers might enjoy, too?

Hmmmmm…

This one is definitely going in the Bakery Notebook. 📒

Life is sweet…especially when the best ideas sometimes happen when you’re simply out exploring👩‍🍳

Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing the bakeries I discover, the goodies I try, beautiful bakery displays, and all the little details that make each place special.

We’ll decide together which goodies deserve a place back at little bakery.

Before we know it, I’ll be home again with a notebook 📕full of ideas…

I’m looking forward to spending precious time with family and friends, making wonderful memories…

…and doing lots of “research.”

(Although…is there really such a thing as too many bakery goodies? 🤔😂)

I suppose we’re about to find out.

Life is sweet…especially when your job as a baker of nostalgic American sweets includes annual “research👩‍🍳

✈️ little bakery is going on an adventure!

Well…I am. 😊

Each year I’m blessed to head back to St. Louis, Missouri, to spend time with my family and friends.

🥳It’s one of my favorite times of the year.

I get to slow down, laugh a lot, spend quality time with my Dad, my sister, and so many wonderful people I love.

❓But you know what else I get to do?

🍰 Bakery hop!

I’ll be visiting bakeries throughout St. Louis, Kansas City, and anywhere else I happen to find one along the way—even airport bakeries!

🍮I’ll be tasting new creations, discovering fresh takes on nostalgic American favorites, and hunting for those “ordinary” treats that are so delicious they’re anything but ordinary.

So I’d love you to come along with me💕

Right here on social media.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing the bakeries I visit, the displays that inspire me, the goodies I try, and maybe even a few treats I’d love to bring back to little bakery.

And I’ll be asking for your opinion along the way.

After all…who better to help choose future little bakery goodies than my sweet customers?

I have a feeling we’re going to have a lot of fun together.

Are you a gingerbread lover?

We may have finished Christmas in July at little bakery, but these Gingerbread Sammies are still hanging around…and I’m so glad they are.

They’re soft with just a little crunch from their cinnamon sugar coating.

But what takes them to the next level?

🍋 That tart-and-sweet lemon buttercream tucked right in the middle.

I might even call them perfection.

🎯These are also one of those treats that are so easy to pop into your bag as you’re heading out the door.

Morning tea.

A little pick-me-up between errands.
