Knotty Swan Bakeshop

Welcome in, Im Gabs! Nurturing my communities with artistry pastries, small batch & slow made. Thus the Knotty Swans Bakeshop was born!

Artisan Breads-Gourmet Cookies- Pies & Tarts-Gourmet Bars- Protein Bonbons & more! Custom Orders Available ❤️
“Taste & See that the Lord is good;” Psalms 34:8 The History behind the name "Knotty Swan" is that my husbands last name is swan and traditionally when two swans mate for life they do a "swan dance", and then "tie the knot" after they finalize the bond. Hence the term Knotty to signify th

e knot between two people and the may be some naughtier themed bakes in the future but you catch our drift. Thanks for being here, on behalf the kitchen of Gabriel & Jarod Swan

Good morning, sweet friends ☀️🌷

Just a sweeeeet little nudge that Mother’s Day pre-orders are officially in their final week! 💐
Due to all the love (seriously… thank you 🥹), we’ll be closing orders down this Sunday.

That means if you’re dreaming up something special for Mom, now’s your moment 💝 — because next weekend will have very limited (if any) grab & go options, and I’d hate for you to miss out!

✨ Think:
• dreamy cupcake bouquets (7 florals wrapped in tissue paper and placed in a box!, your flavor picks 🌸)
• indulgent fudgy chocolate caramel sea salt brownies 🍫
• curated assorted treat boxes full of goodies she will adore, a lil something for all
• or even a savory touch with our pink & white honey oat loaf—perfect for a charcuterie moment 🍞

✨No Grab n Go this week!
We are gearing up for Mother’s Day! ❤

Pre-order link is attached—don’t wait till the last minute, friend 💕
I’ll pop back in Friday with one last reminder… if we’re not already sold out! 🫶

✨🤰BAKESHOP ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
After years of trusting His timing… our sweetest creation is finally in the oven 🤍🍼

This little “bun” we’ve been dreaming of is rising just the way God planned, and our hearts have never been more full. What started as a love story so many years ago has now grown into something even more beautiful… a family.

As I step into this new season of motherhood, my bake shop will be slowing down just a little. Going forward, I will be open two weeks out of each month to allow my body rest and to prepare for this precious blessing.

Please know—every order, every like, every share… you’re not just supporting a small business anymore. You’re supporting our growing family, and I will never have the words to thank you enough for that.

🌸Mother’s Day menu will be posted next week—because this moment… this miracle… deserved to come first 🤍🌸

And don’t worry my loves… tomorrow’s Grab & Go will still be posted around 7PM CST with some delicious new treats for you to try 👀 including a special early taste of our limited edition Mother’s Day cake truffles!

From our hearts to yours… thank you for being part of this journey. Our greatest blessing is on the way 🕊️

Please be patient as we navigate this wonderful bliss ❤

See you all tomorrow!! 🙂
