I want to spend this last day focused on my family. Once I began selling my cookies our kids kept asking when we were going to open a bakery, claiming they wanted to come in after school 🙄(rarely happened). On the other hand Dave questioned my additional career choice. Despite his misgivings, he was at my side, helping, supporting, cleaning and loving me while taking on so many more home duties for our 8, 11 and 13 year olds. My siblings, cousins, in laws, parents and aunt all stepped in. My mom and aunt worked markets and events, delivered, shopped and organized weekly forging a bond of which I will forever be grateful.

I have learned more in the last 8 years than I ever thought I could.
I’ve met more amazing people in the last seven years than I ever thought I would.
I feel truly blessed to be surrounded by such love.

Now is my time to be there for my family and I feel so blessed to have the opportunity.
Dave, Lauren, Phineas and Sam I truly hope you take some inspiration from the work we have done, sweetness we have shared and the community we have loved. I am so proud of your thoughtfulness, work ethic, understanding, drive and empathy.
To the Leyden’s and Merrill’s thank you for being wonderful role models, a friend, helping hand and supporter.

To my Edge of Sweetness family and community I’ve been so honored to meet you, learn from you and take part in your lives. You have touched my soul and I will never forget you.

I am hopeful you come in tomorrow so I can see you in person.
Retail open 12-6pm then celebrate with us 6 to 8 PM.

We have breakfast sandwiches, quiche, bagels and so much more (of course cinnamon rolls 😋) to enjoy in house or take home.

These pictures tell the story of how much life has evolved since our inception.

Despite 2020 being a total shock to daily life and many stayed home, we had an extremely busy year.
January-March have historically been our slowest months but coming off the success of 2019 we were Rockin’ it with corporate clients, film shoots and events until March 17…
when we closed

Oh, wait, I forgot to mention we got a dog 1 month before COVID, a great addition at the perfect time for the kids.

As we navigated the new reality the kids and I had weekly stock up sales until I was called back to the hospital.
We lost a few staff members to moves back home but the rest joined in and we hired great additions.

Although our small business owner jam sessions and community events came to an abrupt halt we learned new ways to serve our community, corporate clients and brides and grooms.

I was honored to make my sister in laws gender reveal cake and my other sister in laws German fest theme dessert table. 😆

And I met so many great people, did some podcasts and really enjoyed Tom Lillig and team from No Barriers USA who included my story in their book. ☺️

Our shared kitchen actually filled up with 7 total businesses working together to service so many.

Our 2019 reimagined business plan focused on the importance of the personal touch, which helped immensely as we navigated the challenges of 2020 to continue to serve our community.

We rocked the holidays with so many pies, oh, and we began offering the Yule log cake, a holiday favorite!

Truly an exhausting year but we made it!! Thanks to everyone who worked, supported, prayed and cared. 🙏

2018 in review

While 2017 was spent constructing Edge of Sweetness, baking, learning about our community, baking, hiring pretty amazing people and baking, 2018 included some pretty fantastic cake designs, baking and caking classes and community events.

I have been so blessed to have called Edge of Sweetness mine since its inception, an amazing sight to see how it has evolved since these early years.

Please stop in this Sunday for our Last Hoorah!
