I hope everyone enjoyed a great Thanksgiving Holiday and that you were able to stop by the bakery for that holiday dessert. We have recently opened our expanded dining, so be sure to come and explore it! Now that Thanksgiving is over and the new dining room is open, I can get back to our blog series on our wonderful team. I wanted to continue the blog with Sara Dockery and Christina Brooke. Sara has been with us for three years and wears many hats. Somedays she will be in kitchen baking, icing cakes, or prepping for those busier times. You might also see Sara's lovely smile in the Cafe helping with custom orders or getting yummy treats together for our customers. Sara is a huge help and we love her positive energy. Christina Brooke has been with us for almost a year now and has quickly become well rounded in the kitchen. You might find her doing prep work, baking, icing, mixing, and icing orders for our customers. Christina has quickly found her spot in the kitchen and she is a huge help!
