Southern Peach Pastries is NINE! Happy Birthday SPP! ๐ฅณ๐โจ Now for my favorite part, the annual look back at the stats over the past nine years. Itโs so humbling & makes me so amazed to see how far weโve come since launching: 79,800 decorated sugar cookies, 16,700 macarons, 5,200 mini tarts, 6,400 other desserts, & ONE new junior chef! Grand total of 108,100 desserts these past nine years! ๐ฅฐ๐คฉ
Overwhelmed with gratitude for family, friends, & the Atlanta community for trusting SPP to be part of their sweetest moments. ๐๐ช
Thanks always to for the love & endless support, my mini pรขtissiรจre for her years of very serious taste-testing, & our newest junior chef, too little for sugar just yet, but already eating his way through the backyard garden, one purรฉed veggie at a time. ๐ซ๐ฅ๐

Some of yโall might remember our 7th birthday post when James & I teased Butter, an idea since 2018. Today itโs knead. 2026 became THE year for building it. 130,000 lines of code later, itโs finally ready!!! knead is the order management & capacity planning tool I wish Iโd had for all 108,100 of those desserts above. Designed for home bakers who want to run their businesses without losing their minds. Officially launching at June 25-27. Follow along at .app for early access. ๐งโ๐๐ป๐ช๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ณ
As we gear up for our tenth year of making the ATL a little sweeter, just thinking back on all the clients, supporters, friends, family, & the Atlanta community brings up all the feels. Yโall are truly the best!! Growing up in this city, going to college in this city, moving away & then moving back to start a business in this city. Goshโฆ the 404, the ATLiens, we couldnโt have done any of this without yโall. Yโall make each celebratory year possible. ๐ฅน๐ฅฐ๐ค
Letโs do this year TEN! ๐คฏ๐๐๐
