Ouma's Bakes

Ouma's Bakes Delicious homemade baked goods, filled with love! 15% of all sales are donated to my chosen local charities. See additional info for more details.

"Ouma’s Bakes" is all about love, kindness, compassion for others and having fun. My love language is baked goods - nothing gives me more joy than seeing the reaction when people are enjoying the delicious cookies, cakes, and desserts that I love to make. My other passion is helping our community and providing support to people who need it. In that spirit, Ouma's Bakes is donating 20% of all sales

to local charities such as Angel's Arms, Pedal the Cause and St. Louis Food Bank. "Ouma’s Bakes" was established informally in 2014. I previously worked as an executive in the fast paced startup and corporate environments, both in America and South Africa. I started baking and decorating cookies and cupcakes as a way to relax and stay in the moment. Ouma is Afrikaans for "Grandma"! We moved to St. Louis to be closer to our US family, in 2019. My granddaughter, Ryann Elizabeth, was 5 at the time and of course the perfect age to have fun with in the kitchen! I am originally from Cape Town, South Africa - one of the most beautiful places on the planet! In my culture, Love = FOOD, Fun = FOOD and Family = more FOOD. When I say food, I mean mostly meat, potatoes and lots of sweet treats! During the pandemic, I took online cookie decorating classes - which was so much fun, I just had to find more time to bake. What better way to achieve that, than leave the corporate rat race and focus on making people smile? I hope you enjoy these treats and I appreciate your support for our community.

Wow! Ouma’s first Maker’s Market was a delightful experience. We sold out!!

Words can’t express my gratitude to each and everyone that helped make it such a huge success. First and foremost, I want to thank the love of my life - Baba (a.k.a. Bob Reany and Grandpa) - no job is ever too big or too small for this man! Thank you for being the rock behind my craziness and giving me the love and support to do it wholeheartedly! He was the first one there before the sun had even risen and he secured the BEST spot for Ouma’s booth!
Without my other two helper’s on the day - Rona and Gené, I would have been lost - thank you so much! Rona, baie dankie dat jy altyd regstaan om saam met my te bak en brou!
Colleen Reany, thank you for all your help with baking and packaging, as well as Katie Stroh for your help with decorating all those ghosts and monster eyes!
To my skoonsus, Ina Lombard, for the most fun Ouma logo and all the labels - I appreciate you!
Last, but not least, my neighbors - Beth & Tom, Tom & Bailey, Aleeza, Matthew and the girls - thanks for being my taste testers for weeks on end and for coming to the market to support Ouma - you are the best!

Ouma’s bakes is all about love, kindness, compassion for others and having fun. I’ve hit all of those in abundance with this experience. Thanks to everyone that stopped by and purchased goodies, I am able to donate $500 to my charities - Angel’s Arms for foster kids, Pedal the Cause for cancer research and STL Foodbank. I appreciate all of you!
