Submitting my application to be your local snack & sourdough dealer. 🧺
Hey yall! I’m Nicole. The mama, the baker, the dishwasher - the one woman circus behind Merrick Mama Bakes.
I’m a mama of 2 & a self taught, most of all- still learning baker.
What started as my love for recreating our own favorite childhood snacks turned into a bakery in my kitchen. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I’m not here to make fancy, picture-perfect pastries that look too pretty to eat. I’m here to bring back the good stuff. The homemade, nostalgic, lick-the-frosting-off-your-fingers, go-back-for-seconds kind of treats. The kind of food that makes you say, “Oh my gosh, my grandma used to make something like this!”
This month i’m actually celebrating my 1/2 a year birthday. 6 months of learning. 6 months of meeting incredible people. 6 months of celebrating wins, and mistakes.
You’ll catch me at local markets, stocking goodies at neighboring cafés, hosting baking workshops, or in my kitchen convincing myself that I absolutely have time to try another new recipe.
I believe good food brings people together, so I show up for that, I work hard for that, I laugh at myself often, and I genuinely care about every single thing that leaves my kitchen.
To everyone who’s ordered a loaf, grabbed a treat, attended a workshop, stopped by a market, or simply shared my name with a friend — thank you. You’ve helped turn my little kitchen into a dream that I’m incredibly proud of.
so, I bring the carbs, you bring the appetite? 🤝
