What’s (Not) Baking, July 4-13, LOL.

Summer Vacation ☀️

Just a quick reminder that we close today at 3:00 PM.

If you’re planning to pick up a preorder after 3:00 PM, please call or text the bakery so we can make arrangements.

We’ll be closed for our annual summer vacation and will reopen Tuesday, July 14 at 11:00 AM.

We hope you’re all staying cool.


Looking Ahead

When we return, some of our favorite summer treats will be back!

By Preorder Only

🍓 Strawberry Sponge Cake (Small or Large)

Perfect for birthdays or anyone who prefers fresh whipped cream and strawberries over buttercream.

Available in Dairy and Dairy-Free.

🥐 Cream Puffs

Available in Dairy and Dairy-Free.

By preorder only.

(An owner’s job is never done—even on vacation. 😇 I’ll be posting our July menu sometime next week, so keep an eye out for it.)

Also Returning

🍓 Individual Strawberry Shortcake

Fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

Available in Dairy and Dairy-Free.

We’ll try to have these available in the shop on busy days, but preordering is always your best bet.

🍋 Fresh Fruit Tarts

Made with our house-made dairy-free lemon curd and fresh organic seasonal fruit.

Dairy-Free.

We’ll also try to have individual fruit tarts available in the shop on busy days.

Our Large Fresh Fruit Tart is available by preorder only.


A Quick Note

Prices have continued to climb dramatically.

For many of our ingredients and consumable supplies, we’re now paying about 40% more than we were just last fall. As one example, a 50-pound bag of our flour has increased from about $85 delivered to $140 delivered—and it’s a domestic product.

Despite these increases, we have not raised our prices. We know many families are tightening their belts, just as we are.

Several customers have suggested that we add a voluntary donation button to our website for those who are fortunate enough not to be feeling the effects of the current economy and would simply like to help support the bakery. We’ll be adding that over our holiday break.

There is absolutely no expectation—it’s entirely voluntary—but we are deeply grateful to those who have already helped in this way.


Markets

We will not be at the Copley Farmers Market this week or next while we’re on vacation.

We’ll return to Copley on Friday, July 18.

Then, on Saturday, July 25, we’ll begin the Roslindale Farmers Market.

If you’re in the neighborhood, stop by our tent and say hello. We think you’ll be pleased with the selection we’ll be bringing each week.


See What’s New!

The July menu will land sometime next week, so keep an eye out for it.

And when we reopen, come see us! We’d love to see you.

We also have some new team members we’d love for you to meet.


Until Then…

Have a cool next 10 days.

We’ll see you on July 14. 💛
