The Blue House Baker

So this morning I posted a reel talking about my many jobs leading up to being a baker and caterer. This afternoon, I have been going through old photo albums of my mom’s and found these two gems from long ago. 😂 The one in the hat is me receiving my certificate in floral design from Long Beach City College. I believe this was around 1991.
The second one is from when I was a secretary at a golf cart company in Ft. Worth, TX right before I got married and moved to MO. (Check out the size of that computer! Definitely pre-flat screens.) This would have been around 1997/98
I didn’t even remember these existed and kind of ironic to find them right after talking to you about my previous “careers”.

Ready to face the day and get things done! Got my caffeine from all natural tea refreshers rather than soda.

Good morning!

What a crazy day yesterday. I posted a customer thank you post with my individual charcuterie boxes and that generated a lot of new interest. I got almost 30 new followers and several questions. I thought I would address that and let you know more about me and what to expect in the coming months. I will try to be as brief as possible but still give the info.

We are a mother/daughter team working out of a health inspected commercial kitchen on our property just north of Carthage. What started as a baking business has grown to include catering with emphasis on charcuterie. We mostly do custom orders for weddings, showers, graduations, birthdays, corporate events and more. We still do baking as well but that is more advertised flash sales and pop-up events. We don’t do decorated cakes or cookies. We leave the decorating to the steadier hands. 😉

Now, fall generally gets very busy for us but this year is a little different. My son is getting married in October, on our property, so lots to do. I also have a great-nephew getting married out of state two weeks after his so October is almost taken up. And to prepare, we are taking a large portion of September off as well. That brings us to our upcoming event.
Fall at The Grove in Carthage. For some reason, I can’t tag them but I posted yesterday about the event. We will have our charcuterie cart there so you can come “build your own” box. Plus, we will be bringing all the fun fall flavors in our baking. It is a great vendor market and always a fun time. I also have a wedding I’m baking for at the end of September but that’s it. I will still try to post to keep the algorithms working but we will be working on our own wedding prep and yard work.

After October, you will see us post more about fall offerings moving into Thanksgiving and beyond.

We have some fun things working in our brains so hopefully we will be able to present those in November or December.

Welcome to The Blue House Baker and I hope you all, faithful and new followers, will join us on our journey to finish out the year. Please interact with the page to keep seeing what we have going on. You will have to like, comment, or share to keep those algorithms working. 😉

We look forward to serving you when we can. And as always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send me a message, drop a comment, or give me a call. We are here to serve.

*Pictures for attention. 😂 Thanks for reading to the end.

For those of you recently asking about my individual charcuterie boxes, I will have my charcuterie cart at this market as well as some delicious fall bakery items. You will be able to build your own box from the items I have on the cart. It is a fun experience and a yummy way to grab a bite to eat while shopping all the creative vendors. Mark your calendars and come see me! I will be inside in the southwest corner. And this time, The Branded Berry will be joining us. Always a good time. You don’t want to miss it!!
