That’s a wrap on 5 amazing years. ❤️

Thank you, New Albany, for all the love and support—you truly showed up for us, especially this past week. It was by far the busiest week we’ve ever had, and we felt every bit of that love.

If we can leave you with anything, it’s this: support every small business as if they are closing. It matters more than you know.

We’re going to take a little break—much deserved—but keep an eye out for pop-up dates for our baked goods. We’re not gone forever. 😉

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every employee and every customer who walked through our doors. You made this journey unforgettable.

We’ll be keeping this page active for future pop-up announcements. Stay tuned. 🖤

And a special thank you to Daily Farm for the beautiful flowers and for years of friendship. 🌸

We’ve been so grateful for the amount of support you all have shown us—it truly means the world 💛

This is officially our last week, and we’ll be open through Saturday. We’d love to see you one more time before we close our doors!

We’ve already sold the majority of our equipment (thank you!!), but we do have a few larger pieces left that still need a good home.
We’d love to see these go to another small business, baker, or anyone chasing a dream like we did. Everything has been well cared for and part of our day-to-day operation.

If you or someone you know might be interested, send us a message and we’ll share details, pricing, and photos.

Thank you again for being part of our journey—it’s been really special 🫶

Come join us for our final week ❤️

Our last day of service will be this Saturday, and we would truly love to see as many of you as possible before we close our doors. This isn’t an April Fools joke—we made this announcement before April 1, and it’s very real.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all the love and support you’ve given us. It has meant everything to us.

We love you all. Come see us one last time 💛

Well friends…

At the beginning of the year we shared that we planned to close on May 1. We wanted to give our incredible customers time to come say goodbye and our kick-ass staff time to find their next work homes.

As it turns out, life had other plans and things moved along much faster than we anticipated (which is a good thing too!). Because of that, Saturday, April 4 will officially be our last day.

We still have this week and next to soak it all in with you. If you’ve been meaning to stop in one more time, now is the moment. Come grab a pastry, a loaf of bread, brunch, or just stop by to say hello. We would love to see your faces and give a few more hugs before we close the doors.

Thank you for being part of our story.
Come see us this week or next, loves. 💛

So we’re closing up an hour early and heading outside! Thanks for understanding—see y’all Wednesday for normal hours 💛
