This fall (starting September 26 and through the month of October) we’re taking a little sabbatical.

Some of you may be thinking, wait, didn’t you just open? The answer is yes, and if you’re annoyed or just flat-out confused, take comfort in knowing that my mother champions you.

Making room for rest is part of building something sustainable for me (and the crew) and so it is after a full and wonderful first summer season, we’re taking some time to do just that: rest. And also to take care of some life admin, and for me, dive into some exciting food styling projects that I know the bakery is always only better for.

We’ll be back before you know it and I’m already looking forward to returning refreshed on many levels and ready to bake us all into the holidays.

Until then we’ve got a couple more weeks of baking before we put the bakery to bed on the 26th so come see us. We’ve got coconut cake this weekend and gingerbread and dark chocolate olive oil pumpkin loaf are back in the case. It’s a seasonal culinary mashup and we’re here for it.

Thank you to all of our truly incredible and relentlessly supportive customers that have managed to make every chapter of The Cakery on First more than I ever dreamed it could be. Thank you in advance for supporting us through this little stint too.

La Quiche was getting a little lonely all by herself on the savory menu so we called up her Southern cousin to come hang. Salt and Pepper Buttermilk Biscuits are coming to the menu this week. A bare biscuit is definitely an option or choose from whipped ricotta and tomato jam or salted butter and house-made organic blueberry and local rhubarb jam. First round served warm at 7:30a, second round at 9:30a.

For our friends that don’t do the gluten: the (organic) buckwheat (organic) pecan financier, currently featuring organic plums and made with pastured local eggs from our friends Homestead Produce . Also we have ice cream sandwiches today. Because we made them. From scratch. Vanilla bean ice cream and all.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you who came out to see us on our first day. We are so grateful for your support and for your grace and patience while we learn a new flow and continue to fill in the gaps. We’re open for a short stint today from 10:30-2:30. Going forward, at least to start, we’ll be open Friday and Saturday from 9:30-3:30 and Sundays from 10:30-3:30. Our espresso machine arrives on Tuesday (thank you DOMA COFFEE ROASTING COMPANY) so more coffee on the way.

A huge thank you to Flowers from the Heart (and Sandpoint Floral Design and The Peppered Mercantile) for the gorgeous florals that are all over the shop and another huge thank you to our good friends at Bluebirdbakeryid for sending us some sustenance mid-morning to keep us going.

See you all very soon and from the bottom of my very grateful heart and my incredible crew of flour girls, thank you.
