Blueberry, cranberry and cherry chocolate scones along with blueberry biscones that will be available for sale, while they last, at the bake sale Saturday morning to benefit the annual community garage sale. I suspect they will be gone within the first hour, as has happened before.

The Retired Baker Retires.... Again!
Although most of you have already heard, we just wanted to share with all of our loyal customers here in Sweetwater that Julie has decided to officially hang up her apron! We are moving on to the next chapter and will be doing some much anticipated travel during this time in our lives, while we still can!
Thank you all for your patronage, we appreciate every single one of you, and have enjoyed providing treats for you! Although retired and no longer selling treats, there's always a chance that the baking bug will bite and Julie will decide to bake something to share with her neighbors. You never know when a surprise treat will end up on your doorstep!
Thanks again, Matt and Julie
