Three Flowers Lives!

From top: Challah, herb focaccia, apple sourdough, croissants, onion rye twist

Hello friends and customers,

I am having to cut down at school in order to work a little more until Bud finds a job.

Sad.

However, I decided to make lemons into lemonade. This gives me more time to bake on my own for Community Supported Baking! Or: Three Flowers Bakery. Those of you who have talked to me know the plan: I do some baking for friends, on an order-by-order basis. I did this once this summer and it was very successful! If you want to re-read the explanation, go to the main page of the blog and click on "old posts."

My goal is to have my own bakery in a few years, whenever circumstances make it possible. But until then, I'm itching to get going! So I am baking here and there when I get a chance, giving you all a taste of what's to come.

I have been fortunate in the past 12 weeks to gain a lot of knowledge. And, while I am by no means an expert, I do have more to work with now. So I'll be trying to bake again about twice a month or so. I have had so much interest that I am actually trying to find a larger kitchen in Hudson to use, with more ovens and more space. I'll post some pictures of the products I will offer, and soon I will post the dates of the next BAKE and start taking orders. I am going to try to offer a white and wheat bread each time, and a specialty too, like croissants or apple bread or cookies. And with the holidays coming up I'm going to do apple pies. It all depends on what people want!

To order, you can either: Comment on the blog--it's easy! It seems intimidating, but all you really have to do is click on "comment" at the bottom of the blog entry.

Or, you can email me at mastuempy@hotmail.com. When ordering, if you need it delivered please include your address and phone number.

If you become a "follower" of the blog, I think you should receive email updates when I update it. I will try to do that often!

If anyone knows of a lonely kitchen, for example in a closed business or an unused church building, let me know ASAP!

Thanks everyone for your support. Questions and Comments are welcome!
