A Day in the Home Bakery

Bake days start early. Butter comes out at 5 a.m. so it is just soft enough by the time the coffee is ready.

• Morning: cookie dough, loaf batters and macaron shells (they need to rest before baking).
• Midday: fillings, buttercream and the first round of decorating.
• Afternoon: packing orders, labeling allergens and writing thank-you notes.

Everything is made in small batches in a home kitchen under the Colorado Cottage Foods Act, which is why we ask you to pre-order by Wednesday for weekend pickup.
