4️⃣ THANKSGIVING PREORDER MENU COMING TOMORROW!
It's almost time for one of our BUSIEST baking seasons of the year. 🥰
Our THANKSGIVING MENU will be posted TOMORROW, and preorders will officially open!
⚠️ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
ALL Thanksgiving orders MUST be received AND PAID IN FULL by Friday, November 13th!
🚨 NO EXCEPTIONS! 🚨

Just to give y'all an idea of what Thanksgiving looks like around here... last year alone, I made over 200 dinner rolls, DOZENS of pies, and DOZENS of cinnamon rolls! 😅 And that's on top of everything else that goes into holiday baking!
Y'all, this stuff takes PLANNING!
Thanksgiving is always an incredibly busy baking season for East River Bakehouse, and there is a tremendous amount of prepping, that goes into making sure everyone has their goodies in time for their holiday gatherings.
Because of that, ALL ordering deadlines, payment requirements, and pickup guidelines MUST be followed.
I absolutely LOVE being a small part of your family's Thanksgiving celebrations, and I want to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible for everyone, including the baker! 😂
I appreciate y'all understanding that these guidelines aren't meant to make ordering difficult. They're necessary so I can accommodate as many families as possible without overextending myself or compromising the quality y'all have come to expect. Mark your calendars for NOVEMBER 13TH, and keep an eye out for tomorrow's menu! 🦃

5️⃣ THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS — NOMINATIONS ARE OPEN!
Once again this year, I am accepting nominations for families in need this Thanksgiving! I know times are hard, and for some families, putting a Thanksgiving meal on the table is an added financial burden. No family should have to worry about whether they'll be able to enjoy a special holiday meal together.
With that in mind, I would love to help bless 5 families who could use a little extra love this Thanksgiving.

Each family selected will receive:
A dozen of my dinner rolls
One homemade pumpkin pie
One homemade pecan pie

If you know a family who is struggling financially, going through a difficult season, or simply needs a helping hand this Thanksgiving, please reach out to me privately with your nomination.
I don't need anyone's personal struggles shared publicly. Sometimes the people who need a blessing the most are the very ones who would never ask for help themselves.❤️
This is something very near and dear to my heart. East River Bakehouse has never been just about selling bread. It's about community, connection, kindness, and using what God has blessed us with to bless others.
And what better way to live that out than by making sure another family has a little something extra to be thankful for this year?
Thank y'all for helping me find the families who could use a blessing this Thanksgiving!❤️

Y’all!!! 🥹❤️
Another ALMOST SOLD OUT market day in the books!! 🙌🍞
And I cannot complain ONE BIT!! We had an amazing morning, stayed busy, and when it was all said and done, we only had 4 items left that we gave away! 🥰
I'd call that a pretty successful market day!!

We are so incredibly thankful for every single person who stopped by, made a purchase, grabbed a sample, shared a kind word, or simply came to say hello. We never take your support for granted!!🥹

And don't forget!! Tomorrow we'll be posting our menu for NEXT Saturday, along with some updates on what we'll be up to this coming week AND a few things we'll be DEBUTING at next Saturday’s market! 👀 We've got some yummy things in the works, and we can't wait to share them with y'all!!

Community. Connection. Kindness.

10/17/2026

Y’all!!! 🥹❤️
We’ve been at market for an hour and a half, and I’m JUST NOW getting a chance to post.
It has been STEADY since we got here, and y’all are showing up and showing OUT!! 🥰
We’re already running LOW on goodies, so if you’re planning to come see us, GET HERE WHILE YOU CAN!! 🏃🏻‍♀️ We had 28 loaves of bread and down to 11 now.

We would LOVE to see another sellout day, but even more than that, we just love seeing all your sweet faces!! ❤️
📍 Cabrini Farmers Market
Thank y’all SO much for continuing to love and support our little bakery!! Y’all truly are THE BEST!! 🥹🍞❤️

❤️ A Little Market Day Update...
Sometimes we have to listen to our bodies, even when our hearts want to do ALL the things! 🥹
I've been dealing with a pretty painful, swollen knee for the last couple of days, and despite my best efforts to push through and get everything baked for market, I've had to make the decision to put a few things on the back burner this week.
Unfortunately, scones, extra pull apart breads, and crostini will NOT be making an appearance at market today.
It's almost 3am and I'm still in the kitchen finishing up the last of the baking. As much as I hate leaving anything off the menu, I also know I have to give myself a little grace sometimes.
But don't worry!! We will have plenty of other delicious goodies waiting for y'all!! 🥰
And with this beautiful cooler weather, we're bringing back some FREE treats!
☕ FREE homemade hot chocolate!
🥰 FREE samples of our famous sourdough cinnamon rolls!
❤️ FREE mini kolaches!
Free samples and hot chocolate will be available in limited quantities, so come early!

Thank y'all for always being so understanding, supportive, and encouraging. I truly love what I do, and I love getting to share it with this wonderful community.
We'll see y'all at Cabrini Farmers Market from 9-12... Come see us, grab something yummy, and help us have another wonderful market day! ❤️

LONG post... 🫣
First… have I told y'all lately how much I love & appreciate y'all?🥹 Because I DO!!
Not just for supporting this little bakery, but for being patient with me, encouraging me, and giving me grace as I try to figure out how to keep up with something that has grown beyond anything I ever imagined. 🥰
I'm learning as I go, and sometimes that means trying something new, realizing it wasn't the best decision, and being willing to change course. I don't always get it right, but I promise my heart is always in the right place.
And one thing I never want to lose sight of is that YOU are the reason East River Bakehouse is what it is today. ❤️

So, with that being said… I have a little update for y'all. And I hope it shows that I really do listen,l to what yall want, that I really do care, and I'm always trying to find that happy balance between taking care of my customers and keeping this one woman bakery running.❤️
Now…let's talk about Saturday preorders👇

Sometimes you have to admit when an idea just isn't working… or wasn't quite as great as you originally thought it would be. 😅
After hubby and I sat down and discussed my recent decision to limit Saturday market preorders to ONLY items on that week's market menu, I realized that decision wasn't necessarily fair to our customers.
One of the things that sets East River Bakehouse apart from many other cottage bakeries is our HUGE menu selection. And I genuinely believe that's something our customers appreciate! You're not limited to just 2 or 3 bread flavors and 1 or 2 other baked goods. We offer a wide variety because I LOVE being able to give y'all choices!
I also had to remind myself that not everyone can make a Monday or Tuesday pickup work. Between jobs, families, appointments, and everyday responsibilities, Saturday may be the ONLY opportunity some of you have to get your favorite goodies.
And the last thing I want to do is make supporting our little bakery more difficult for the very people who have helped it grow. ❤️

🧡 SOOO… we're lifting the restriction on Saturday market preorders! 🥳
You will once again be able to order from our full menu for Saturday pickup at Cabrini Farmers Market!

➡️ BUT… there are a couple little catches 🤭
From time to time, I may have to limit the number of "not on the market menu" orders I can accept for a particular Saturday. Those orders require additional ingredients, preparation, and baking time on top of everything I'm already making for the market.
And while I would absolutely LOVE to bake everything, for everyone, every single week… I'm still just one person with two ovens and only so many hours in a day! 😂
I have to find that balance between accommodating special orders, keeping our market tables stocked, and remembering that I am, in fact, a human being who occasionally needs sleep. 🤣

➡️ The second catch I want to mention…
From time to time, you may also notice that certain items have been temporarily "unlisted" from our website and aren't available to order that particular week. There are a couple of reasons for this. Sometimes it's simply because I can't reasonably fit that item into an already packed baking schedule. Other times, it's because the cost of ingredients for that particular item has gotten so high that making it every week just isn't feasible without raising my prices.
And y'all know how much I struggle with the idea of raising prices! 🥹
Rather than increase the price of those items or remove them from our menu altogether, I may move some of them to a once or twice a month availability instead. That way, you can still enjoy your favorites, just not necessarily every single week. ❤️

🙌🏻 This little business continues to grow every single day, and with that growth comes a whole lot of learning, adjusting, and figuring out what works best for everyone.

I'm not too proud to admit when something needs to change. I'd much rather acknowledge that an idea wasn't the best fit and make adjustments than stubbornly stick with something simply because I was the one who decided it.

Thank y'all for hanging in there with me while I figure out the best way forward.❤️
I never want East River Bakehouse to become so focused on policies, production, and numbers that I lose sight of WHY I started doing this in the first place. People have always come before profit here & I intend to keep it that way. 🥰

Thank you for your patience, your grace, the encouragement, and most importantly, for allowing me to continue doing something I love for a great big community that I love even more. ❤️

10/15/2026

Sorry!! I accidentally deleted the other post. Let's try again!! 🤣

🍪🤎 OKAY Y'ALL… I NEED YOUR OPINIONS...
How do we feel about taking my chocolate chip cookie dough and rolling it right up INSIDE my soft, fluffy sourdough cinnamon roll dough?! 🤤😍
I'm talking CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH CINNAMON ROLLS (minus the cinnamon mixture)!! Two of my favorite things all rolled into one delicious treat!

I can't squeeze these into the menu for THIS Saturday's market, but I'm seriously considering bringing them to Cabrini Farmers Market NEXT Saturday!
So here's my question… WOULD Y'ALL BE INTERESTED?! 👀
Because if there's enough interest, I WILL make these happen!! 🥰

👇 Tell me what you think! Would you try one?!

P.S.
I MIGHT.... get taste testers for Tuesday to make sure. Can't trust anyone in my house bc they think anything sweet is a yes 🤣
