Soulrise Bakery

As much as I hate to admit it, I have not been handling the heat well at all this summer. So I took a break from baking but Superior has a big event coming up that I wouldn't want to miss. 😎

I'm excited to say that Soulrise Bakery will return to action on Saturday, August 29, during the Prickly Pear Festival! Find out more about the festival at https://pricklypearfestsuperior.com/

Hope to see you there! 💜

Smart Swap Sunday - AI

I've been taking a break for the last couple of months, partly because of the heat, and partly because I annoyed myself with AI generated social media posts. There, I said it.

AI is a great tool, and you will still see some AI generated content from me. I've got a post scheduled for tomorrow with a flyer that was created by ChatGPT. It looks just like everyone else's generic AI generated flyers, but it took me a fraction of the time that it would take me to make it manually. ⏳

Please know that I cringe every time I post something created by AI. But please also know that I am still working full time (and overtime recently), and I have other obligations, just like every other human. You know how it goes. So unfortunately, AI is a great option to save some time. 😩

That being said, I want to recommit to bringing you more content that is authentic, from the heart, and relatable. I love having real face-to-face conversations with customers. Social media is just the in-between content so you know what is going on with Soulrise Bakery and where to find me next. 😎

I appreciate each and everyone of you and can't wait for our next conversation! 💜

Smart Swap Sunday - Greek yogurt frosting

I did a little "research and development" this weekend with cinnamon rolls. They're not quite ready to be rolled out on the menu, but they've got some of the usual Soulrise Bakery swaps like monkfruit sweetener. I also tried Greek yogurt frosting sweetened with agave syrup.

I think it's important to acknowledge that not all swaps are trying to exactly mimic the original. But they can have added health benefits and still taste great.

Have you ever tried Greek yogurt frosting before?

While I pride myself on offering baked goods made with high quality ingredients, they come with a cost. Literally. I've been exploring ways to lower costs so that I can offer healthier baked goods that don't break the bank. 💵

There are some things that I will never be convinced to stop using (fresh-milled flour, alternatives to refined cane sugar, and certain organic ingredients). But I am trying to educate myself more on alternatives for other ingredients I use. 🤓

I've visited the Environmental Working Group's website before but I am revisiting it and I thought it was worth a share here. You can search for specific brands and food items and it gives you a score based on nutrition concern, ingredient concern, and processing concern. ✅

The EWG also has a Clean Fifteen list and Dirty Dozen list--produce that is least impacted by pesticides and chemicals, and those that tend to have higher levels. Take a look before your next grocery shopping trip! 💜

The Environmental Working Group is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to helping you live your healthiest life.

Just a reminder that Soulrise Bakery will be at the Superior farmer's market this Saturday, July 18! We will be in the Chamber of Commerce Building from 10 am to at least 1 pm. 😎

The next market isn't until the end of August, so make sure to stop by and get some goodies designed to support your health goals. 💜

I had to take an unexpected break the last couple of weeks (I'm pretty sure I've got a broken rib 🙃), but Soulrise Bakery will be back at Superior Farm-to-Fantastic Farmer's and Maker's Market this Saturday, July 18! 🎉

On the menu this week:
🍪Red Velvet Cookies - made with homemade white chocolate chips and naturally colored with beet root powder, these are always a hit!
🍫Brownie Bites with Walnuts - filled with superfoods like cacao powder and anti-inflammatory walnuts but you'd never know it by the taste
🍒Oatmeal Cherry Cookies - I'm excited to bring back an old favorite that I haven't had on the menu in a while.

The summers are tough when I don't get to see some of my favorite people as often so I'm excited for the market this weekend! I hope to see you this Saturday! 💜

Smart Swap Sunday 🌴 Date Sugar

It's one of those ingredients that makes me excited to bake because it's exactly what it sounds like: whole dried dates ground into a powder.

Instead of using a highly refined sweetener, date sugar brings a naturally rich, caramel-like flavor while retaining some of the fiber and nutrients found in the fruit itself.

Right now, you'll find date sugar in my Brownie Bites, where it complements the deep chocolate flavor with subtle caramel notes and just the right touch of sweetness. 🍫

It's a small swap, but it's one more way I try to make every ingredient count.

Because at Soulrise Bakery, I believe treats can be both delicious and thoughtfully made. ❤️

✨ Indulgence without sacrifice.
