There's something special about the smell of freshly baked goods filling the air. At Bake with Nana, our bakery is a place where passion meets creativity.
Every day starts early and ends sweetly, as we dedicate ourselves to crafting delicious treats.
If you’re interested in the artistry that happens behind our aprons, join us for a glimpse into what a typical day at our bakery looks like.
The Early Morning Prep
As dawn breaks, our bakery comes to life. The calming sounds of equipment mix with our morning rituals. Before we open our doors, the kitchen is lit softly, revealing bags of flour, jars of sugar, and fresh ingredients.
The day kicks off with a review of what needs to be baked fresh. We focus on a variety of items, including cheesecakes, delicious pies, creative custom cakes, and cookies. Each recipe requires precision in measuring ingredients, mixing, kneading, and shaping. This part of the morning is sacred, where our love for baking is just starting to take form.
Once the dough is mixed, we let it rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour. This quiet moment allows us to focus on the next steps. Quality is non-negotiable, so we give every item the attention it deserves to ensure everything is perfect.
FYI: Any of my cakes can be custom made to meet your needs.
The Baking Process
When the dough has been in the fridge the allotted time, it's ready for the magic of baking. Our ovens eagerly await, ready to transform dough into golden-brown masterpieces. The transformation of raw ingredients into delicious baked goods creates an atmosphere filled with anticipation.
As the cakes bake and cookies rise, enticing aromas fill the air, creating a sense of excitement. While the oven works its wonders, we prepare icings, fillings, and toppings. This phase of work is a creative and functional dance that ignites our passion.
A Day in the Life at Bake with Nana is more than just following recipes; it's an art that requires intuition. For instance, when baking cakes, we know that a 5% increase in humidity can affect the cakes as they rise. We adjust baking times and temperatures accordingly to achieve that perfect moist and soft texture every time.
Custom Orders and Personal Touches
After the baked goods cool, we turn to custom orders, which are the heart of our bakery. Each cake, cheesecake, cookie, or pie tells a unique story. For instance, we once crafted a wedding cake that beautifully mirrored the couple’s journey with custom colors and flavors.
Personalization is crucial, and we put our hearts into every detail. Our decorating station is a whirlwind of colors, sprinkles, and edible decorations waiting to become edible art. During consultations, we ensure that every customer’s vision comes to life, focusing on both taste and presentation.
This artistic process is thoughtful and engaging. We consider each flavor pairing carefully, as seen in a recent order where vanilla cupcakes were paired with rich chocolate frosting and raspberry toppings. The smile on our customers' faces when they see their custom creations are truly rewarding.
Wrapping It Up
As the day ends, we carefully package our creations to ensure they arrive safely and beautifully. This final addition includes wrapping, boxing, and often adding a handwritten note of appreciation for our customers.
Cleaning up the workspace is just as important as baking itself, preparing for another day of early mornings and creative endeavors. Time spent in our bakery goes beyond recipes; it’s about building a community that appreciates the art of baking.
