Love+Flour

Well, friends… it’s been a MINUTE! 💜

Since school started, life has been moving at about 100 miles an hour. Between teaching full time, keeping up with two teenagers (including one who is living her SENIOR year 🥹), working my other job, and squeezing in this little hobby hustle of mine, social media has definitely taken a backseat.

But just because you haven’t seen much of Love+Flour lately doesn’t mean I’ve disappeared! I’m still baking, still creating, and still doing what I love. I just don’t always have the time to market, post, and take on every request that comes my way. Sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day, and that’s okay. 💜

So, I figured it was time to catch y’all up on a little of what’s been happening around here! I’ll be sharing a recap of some of my favorite creations from the past few months — some of the things that have been keeping my kitchen busy, even when my page has been quiet. 🎂🍪

Thank you to everyone who continues to think of Love+Flour, share my name, and support my little corner of the baking world. It means more than you know!

I’m still here, friends. Just a little busy living life in between batches.

All my love,
Nikki 💜

Wrapping up a few things before my full time job starts again on Monday.

If you know me, you know I‘m already working in my classroom (read, I‘m typing this while at the copier in the teacher‘s workroom!) 🫣

I am always running from place to place in body and in my mind. It is just who I am 🤷🏻‍♀️ With that, this also means that I didn’t get any fancy pictures of the last few things I created.

However, I did snap a couple of things and I will share them here now. 🥰 I had so much fun designing and creating these. 🥰

As a reminder, I will always reach out to confirm your order the week of your event. If I don’t, please don’t hesitate to send a message. 😊

Finally, as of this moment- my calendar is booked through Thanksgiving and nearly booked for Christmas. You are always welcome to message me and ask about a date and if I can, I will work you in.

All my love,
Nikki 💜

The end of June and beginning of July looked like this when I wasn’t volunteering with the Band Booster Fireworks Stand 💜

But a special moment to recognize the hard work of my friend at Devils Den Apothecary. Tonight was another plant swap, but it was so much more! She invited vendors and had Kemp Avenue full of outstanding women in various booths. I enjoyed my time shopping and just being present. I even picked up a new plant, peep it in the last picture. He needs a name….whatcha think?

What a special place this is- and we call it home 💜

Summer is officially here friends!

This means my calendar is full and my heart is happy.

However, I was thinking… would anyone be interested in a flash sale of holiday sugar cookies for July 4th weekend?

I would open this to pre-pay and pick up at Willow & Company in Tishomingo.

This post is serving as a gauge of interest, another official post for pre-orders will follow as needed.

Stay hydrated and make sure you take time to soak up every moment this time of life has to offer.

All my love,
Nikki

PS- this picture is one I made yesterday on Summer Solstice at the Tishomingo Wildlife Refuge. It you haven’t been recently, please go! It’s beautiful!

Earlier this week, a super sweet customer asked me to make a cake for his wife. He didn’t give much turn around time and all he said was “she likes strawberry”.

Well, here’s what I was able to make; everything from scratch of course. 💜

Strawberry cake (2 layers), vanilla bean cake (single layer), vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream filling, strawberry compote, American buttercream, and a strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream.

The cake was so well received that there is hardly a crumb left! Full transparency- the cake is for my birthday 😉

Thank you to everyone who helped make today special!

All my love,
Nikki

What an absolute honor!

June 17, 2026 found my community celebrating and recognizing Murray State College at the official ribbon cutting ceremony of the newest mural at Murray on Main Tishomingo.

Murray on Main has previously partnered with me for a couple of events and each time my heart has been thankful and grateful. Plus, they always get THE best photos which include my work!

I feel it important to recognize the fact that as a full-time, public, educator of 18 years this dedication was more than paint on a wall. This work of art, beautifully developed and executed, represents the spirit of my hometown. The agricultural foundation of Johnston County, the people, the stories, and the investment toward a future of educated and thoughtful individuals is something with which I am overwhelming proud.

Thank you really seems to fall short in times such as this. Suffice it to say, this hometown girl couldn’t be more honored and proud to see the positive growth within this community.

Thank you- all of you- for the continued support of my dreams and this place I call home!

All my love,
Nikki

I turned around and realized- the last two weeks were busier than I thought!

My calendar is already quickly filling up for the fall AND winter 😳 If you have school events, senior night/homecoming/etc and are interested in me baking for you, please reach out ASAP before I’m at capacity.

As always, thank you so much for the continued love and support.

All my love,
Nikki

Lately…

Everytime I think I am working to prep better so I can offer flash sales, the items are out my door before I can post.

What a situation to have- to be so busy is a real blessing!

Thank you for continuing to support this dream 💜
