We have tried chasing students down with deliveries, and prefer to stick to what we do best - baking!

Now that 2020 is behind us, we look forward to the new year. We are a bakery, and we love being a part of your celebrations.

First off, Happy Birthday to us!

It is finally finished, and my workspace is (mostly) cleaned up. Printing on a vintage press requires a lot of stuff, and it all...Marys CakesWinter Break: Day 11tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e553cb542a8833022ad3864da8200c2019-01-08T10:00:00-06:002019-01-08T10:00:00-06:00We're 11 days into our winter break and I'm making blueberry muffins. You may have noticed I'm on a creating healthy food kick. That continues with this recipe. This recipe came from a printer friend.

Cause, you know, that's what I do. Time off gives me a great opportunity to experiment with new ingredients, without the pressure of having to...Marys CakesWinter Break: Day 9tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e553cb542a8833022ad3860ece200c2019-01-06T10:00:00-06:002019-01-05T16:02:41-06:00Day 9 was another day at the print shop. Today I learned the Nicene Creed will indeed fit on the page, even though there is still one paragraph, plus Amen, plus the title left to print.
