Some people just know bread tastes best straight out of the oven. πŸžπŸ’—

If you're one of those people, don't forget about Tuesday pickups at the Pink Stand, where your goodies are baked fresh that very morning!

Follow our pageβ€”we'll be posting an updated Tuesday pickup menu later this week. πŸ‘€

Fresh bread. Fresh out of the oven. Freshly yours. πŸ’—

🌧️ Good morning, New Bern! πŸ’—

Welcome to the New Bern Farmers Market!

Eastern NC decided we're not quite done with our late-summer rain yet, so we're a little soggy again this morning. πŸ˜‚ But we'll happily take a little rain if it means cooler temperatures!

And don't forget... MINI COOKIE CAKES are here today! πŸͺ

Come stroll the market, embrace the drizzle, grab a mini cookie cake, and enjoy the cooler morning with us!

We'll see you at the market! πŸ’—πŸŒ§οΈπŸͺ

πŸͺ MINI COOKIE CAKES ARE COMING TO THE MARKET! πŸͺ

If you know us, you know we do not like waste around here. Unfortunately, we made way too much frosting for a couple of cookie cake orders this week... whoops. πŸ˜‚

Rather than let perfectly good frosting go to waste, we're turning it into 3-inch mini cookie cakes and bringing them to the New Bern Farmers Market tomorrow!

And if you've been waiting for a special occasion to enjoy a cookie cake, we've got news for you...

Apparently tomorrow is National Sports Sampling Day! πŸŽΎβšΎπŸ€

So grab a mini cookie cake, grab a friend, and celebrate by trying out a new sport together. Or, you know... skip the sport and just eat the cookie cake. We support both choices. πŸ˜‰

Limited quantities, so come grab yours while they last! πŸ’—

🌧️ Good morning, New Bern! πŸ’—

Welcome to the New Bern Farmers Market!

There's some rain headed our way this afternoon, so you have two options:

β˜€οΈ Come early, grab your favorites, and beat the rain.

🌧️ Or embrace the weather and come wander the market anyway because we were built not to melt! πŸ˜‚

Either way, we'd love to see you! Come support your local vendors, grab something delicious, and make a morning of it. πŸ’—

Sometimes you just know. πŸ’—

I was leaving the New Bern Farmers Market last Saturday, saying my goodbyes and heading out when a little spot of color caught my eye at the DWM Pottery, LLC booth.

From about 50 feet away, I apparently looked at this mug and thought:

"Ope. I guess I'm buying a mug today." πŸ˜‚

There was just something about it. I knew immediately that it was supposed to be mine.

Does anyone else get that feeling when they see something? That instant "Yep. That's it. I don't know why, but this belongs with me" feeling?

Well... this beautiful handmade mug is now officially mine. πŸ’— Now I get to wind down my Thursday and mentally prep for Friday/Bake Day with this gem in my hand.

It's just one small piece of the incredible collection created by this talented couple, so you're going to have to go find your own treasure at their booth.

Just don't try to take mine. πŸ˜‰

Go check out @ at the New Bern Farmers Market and see what catches your eye!

πŸ’— A BIG thank you to an amazing new customer!

Our 20 goodie trays were delivered this morning, and while we're incredibly thankful for the order, we're probably even more thankful for everything this experience taught us.

This order gave us a serious crash course in:

πŸͺ Managing expectations β€” especially my own expectations of what I can physically accomplish in a certain amount of time.

🏠 Working in a residential kitchen β€” our little kitchen has limits, and 20 trays will definitely help you find every single one of them. πŸ˜‚

πŸ₯¨ Large-batch baking β€” we learned very quickly that having multiple pans is pretty important when you're working with a small GE oven!

πŸ“¦ Packaging β€” we thought the deli-style trays would be the perfect fit, but once everything was assembled, they just didn't feel like Bun & the Oven. We'll be exploring some different options for future orders that better reflect the look and feel we want to create.

And honestly, that's one of our favorite things about this little business.

We're learning. We're experimenting. We're occasionally realizing, "Well... THAT didn't go quite how we pictured it." πŸ˜‚

But we're thrilled to be able to share even the imperfect parts with you.

Thank you for being along for this strange, wonderful, sometimes chaotic ride with us. Every order, recommendation, kind word, and bit of feedback helps us grow β€” and we appreciate every single one of you more than you know. πŸ’—

Now... who's ready to see what we try next? πŸ‘€

πŸ₯¨ Sunday morning = PRETZEL BITE TIME! πŸ₯¨

We're spending part of our Sunday morning making a whole lot of sourdough pretzel bites as we prepare for a very special order heading out this week.

We have 20 thank-you trays going to local businesses this week for an amazing new customer who found us through... wait for it... YOU! πŸ’—

They heard about Bun & the Oven from some of our wonderful customers at the New Bern Farmers Market, and now we get to share our fresh-baked goodies with a whole new group of people!

This is exactly why word-of-mouth means so much to a little bakery like ours. Every recommendation, every "you HAVE to try them," and every person who brings a friend our way helps us reach more of our community.

We can't wait to see these trays all filled up and ready to go! We'll share a photo of the finished order soon. πŸ‘€πŸ’—

Until then... we've got 20 trays worth of pretzel bites to make! πŸ˜‚πŸ₯¨

πŸͺ✨ Custom Cookie Cakes! ✨πŸͺ

Who says cake has to be cake? 😏

We love creating custom cookie cakes that are just as unique as the people and occasions they're made for! From fun colors and playful designs to personalized details, we get to have a lot of fun making each one special.

We're also working hard to stick with natural dyes whenever possible, using ingredients like beet root powder and other natural color sources to create fun, beautiful colors without relying on artificial dyes. πŸ’—

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, graduation, baby shower, anniversary, office event, or just want a giant cookie because... well, giant cookie β€” we'd love to make one for you!

We offer different sizes of custom cookie cakes to fit your celebration.

πŸ“© Have an event coming up? Reach out to Bun & the Oven and let's make something deliciously unique! πŸͺπŸ’—

We've got some special goodies joining our usual lineup today:

πŸ¦– RAWR means "Happy Birthday!"... at least we think it does. πŸ˜„πŸ’—

We had the privilege of making these dinosaur-themed cupcakes for the two sweetest brothers, and they were just plain fun to create!

We loved getting a little whimsical by using natural matcha powder to tint the frosting green and building a little molasses cookie mountain for the toy dinosaurs to guard their candy egg. Sometimes it's the tiny details that make us smile the most.

Every special order gives us the chance to create something unique, and we love bringing your ideas to lifeβ€”whether it's for a birthday, baby shower, wedding, office party, family reunion, or just because.

If you have a special event coming up, we'd love to help make it a little sweeter. Send us a message to reserve your date and let's create something fun together! πŸ’—πŸ§
