Fika Bakeshop & Kitchen

Fika Bakeshop & Kitchen Fika Bakeshop ("fee-ka") is a home bakery that provides homemade Scandinavian & American baked goods.

Fika (fee-ka) is the Swedish tradition of daily coffee or tea breaks with baked treats and good company. Fika reflects the Swedish ideal of balance, connection, and pausing to enjoy life’s small joys. Susan Ortmeyer is a local mom, baker, and gardener who put down roots in Ben Lomond in 2011 with her husband and then 2-year old daughter. She believes in sustainable gardening, seasonal eating, and

using fresh, local and organic ingredients whenever possible. The seeds of Fika Bakeshop were planted early in Susan's life by her Swedish-American mother, who passed along Sweden’s cultural traditions through the food she cooked for her family.

I will be putting my June calendar out very soon, but I wanted to let everyone know that I’m all better now! The cough is gone, and my energy is up.

Thank you for your patience, and fyi, the Fika Bake Cart will be out tomorrow morning (6/4) from 9 am - 12 pm!

I’m planning on cardamom buns, cinnamon buns, jammy crumble buns, chocolate caramel swirl buns, and rhubarb coffee cake.

What I thought would be a simple 5-7 day recovery period for flu has turned into a month-long ordeal. And I’m not well yet! I still have a cough and low energy. I have some additional medications that should help, but mostly I think I need time and space to rest.

So, it’s time for Plan B: Cancel the big events for May, and keep the ones that I can do without too much work and stress.

Here is what I WILL be doing during May:

Fika Bake Cart:

Thursday, May 14th, 11 am - 2 pm (note the later time)
Thursday, May 21st, 11 am - 2 pm
Sunday, May 24: 11 am - 2 pm

I will fulfill direct orders that have already been made. I may or may not be able to fulfill any other direct orders that I receive, depending on how I am feeling. You are welcome to place an order and we can see if it will work.

I’ve never had to do this before! I’m so sorry for these changes, but I have the kindest customers in the world, and I trust you will understand.

xo, Susan

Here is the revised May calendar:

Sadly, I have to cancel the Fika Cafe currently scheduled for this Sunday, April 19. A flu bug is moving through our household, and it's upended all my plans. I'm still planning to have the Fika Bake Cart out on Thursday, but that may change.

Also, I wanted to remind you to get your pre-orders in for Swedish meatball dinners for pickup Friday, April 24!

This is truly embarrassing, but due to VERY unforeseen circumstances, I will have to cancel the Bake Cart for today.

It's back!!!
