Day in the live of a bakery owner: Tuesday Edition
Naming this one a Tuesday from 🔥Hell🔥... mostly because of the butter, everything else was fine but the butter really almost threw me off the edge.

Usually our Tuesdays last from 9AM to 5PM which is honestly not too bad, it’s our second tamest day of the week (when there aren’t a bunch of things going wrong).

I love seeing how much my Tuesdays have changed from even just a year ago now (back then I didn’t even have to leave the house, the bakery was in my garage haha!!).

I wonder how they will look a year from now :)

Best Pasteis de Nata in the Toledo area (according to me💅🏼)

Pasteis de nata are traditional Portuguese custard tarts flavored with lemon and cinnamon (a banging flavor combo that is very well loved in Portugal and Spain!) and in a pastry puff crust.

With that said… you guys will never know how much I STRUGGLED to film this😭😩
I had been up and working for 15 hours and my hands were shaking so bad AND ON TOP of that, my hands are TINY. I COULD NOT GET THAT SECOND BASTARD TO DISAPPEAR.

But the original video made me laugh too hard not to recreate it. Thank you Michelle for sending it to me.

Anyway, I’m okay 😌 and yeah, you should give out custard tarts a try, even the pastry puff is made from scratch.

As you can probably guess, we take our butter preeeetty seriously around here🧈😌

Our croissants are 47% (‼️) butter, so using cheap butter would not only make the process of making croissants harder, but it would also directly affect the taste (have you ever had a croissant that left a weird after taste in your mouth? That’s because of low quality butter) Because of that, we only use Pepe Saya Butter Co for our lamination.

What really makes it special it’s that it’s ✨cultured butter✨, meaning the cream is fermented before being churned (like yogurt!). This gives the butter a rich, deep, tangy flavor that is hard to compete with.

BUT you don’t have to take my word for it!
Pepe Saya sent us these cute little butter pucks for us to give out to our customers. So everyone that purchases from us this Saturday (Oct. 10th) at the downtown farmers market can get a sample to take home with them💞

If you can’t make it, that’s okay! You can get your hands on some Pepe Saya butter at Sofo's Italian Market

I’ll see you all tomorrow!!

This Saturday will be the last day of our Cardamom Peach Danish special!

Thank you 🍑 for all the love you guys have for these little guys. They were a spur of the moment special but the flavor combo is one I will define bringing back once peach season comes around again.

The next special(s?) will be season appropriate and very delicious 🍎

I’ve been having a fantastic week so far (except for when I stabbed myself yesterday) and pickups start in 30 minutes, so I’ll keep it short haha.

Cant wait to see you all and as always, thank you thank you thank you💖

💥You guys are blowing me away!!💥

I was able to watch this week’s drop (while cozy with a coffee) and saw that there were almost 130 of you waiting for the preorders to go live.
Within 5 minutes, everything was in carts. And in 30 minutes, it was all sold.

I really can’t thank you guys enough.
And for everyone who couldn’t get anything, I’m really sorry. I’m trying to learn and adjust and grow as much as possible to be able to offer as many pastries as possible, but it might take me a little while. Just don’t give up 🙏🏻😭

Also also, this might be a weird thing to ask but do any farmers/farms/people who know farms follow me? I am hoping to start swapping as many of my ingredients as possible for local alternatives and I am looking for a place to get eggs from💖 Any leads are highly highly appreciated!

Again, thank you so much you guys. I’m so lucky to be here doing what I love and to have so many people love what I do.

See you all this Thursday✨

❌NO FARMERS MARKET THIS WEEKEND❌

Hey guys! I know it’s a little bit short notice but I won’t be at the farmers market tomorrow (September 26th).

Things have just been so crazy and part of me feels dumb for taking time off when there are so many new people here hoping to try out pastries. But ya girl is tired 😭

I’m going to take the weekend to hopefully regroup and take care of all the things that have been piling up for the past two months (I say that mostly to hold myself accountable because I know there is a chance I just sleep and play video games🥲)

I really can’t thank you guys enough for how hard you have been making me work. Seriously. I’m just so so happy. Happy but tired.

Have a great weekend everyone, and stay tuned for tomorrow’s drop at 9AM!!

🥐🍑PEACH CARDAMOM DANISH🍑🥐

Hello everyone! Here is our first special after a hectic few months:

🍑One of our lovely danishes, filled with rum and vanilla peach jam made with fresh peaches from Tucker Farms. Topped with a super buttery cardamom crumble to round up the sweetness.🍑

We will have this special at the Toledo Farmers' Market tomorrow and for the next couple of weeks (or until I can no longer get my hands on fresh peaches!).

Should I add it to the pickups? Let me know💖

PS: Thank you so much for a great first round of pickups yesterday at the bakery🥹 it went to well and you were all so nice about how… humbly everything was set up haha. You guys are the best💞

Hi everyone!

My name is Lucy and I own Lunara Bakery, a 2 person team microbakery that just moved into a physical location in Downtown Sylvania!

We have so many new friends here so I wanted to take the time to formally reintroduce myself.

Our address is 5758 Main St, Sylvania. However we aren’t a traditional bakery with a storefront. We do preorders every weekend (from Saturday, 9AM to Monday 12PM) and pickups are n Thursdays from 11AM to 6PM.

Doing things this way allows us to keep overhead costs to a bare minimum and for the quality of our baked goods to be as high as possible (although I am still always learning how to improve).

Our preorder website is Hotplate.com/lunarabakery

Thanks to all of you, this week’s drop is already sold out, but if you are feeling a lil impatient, we also go to the downtown Toledo farmers market every Saturday starting at 8AM.

Thank you thank you thank you, and I will see a lot of you on Thursday🥰💖😭

Thank you Michelle for such an amazing and fun review!!

If any of you somehow don’t know her She's Eating It is an incredible local food reviewer that has done so so much to spotlight small businesses in our area.

She is actually the reason I have found some of my favorite spots, including Flower Drum, Beef N Bunns, and Taquería El Gallo De Oro, which I didn’t know about despite living less than 3 minutes away!!

If you don’t follow her already, I recommend you do, because Toledo and the surrounding areas are actually a treasure trove of amazing restaurants, bakeries and other food based businesses.

Thank you so so much, and keep doing what you are doing girl. May you find many more foods worthy of running around a tree for💖
