Thank you, everyone, for all the orders!
This was our biggest year ever for bakery orders.
I was so busy yesterday, I didn’t get to snap photos of half of the orders I did, but that is a good problem to have! 😁
Merry Christmas to you and your families! We love being a part of your family get togethers!

Our order slots for Christmas are starting to fill up fast, so I’m going to be bumping up the order deadline to this Monday, 12/16, instead of 12/20. This will allow me to coordinate pick up times with everyone.
I can accommodate Sunday 12/22, pick ups, Monday evening, 12/23 pick ups (preferred), and pick ups on Christmas Eve by 1pm.
Please get your order and payment to me asap, and mention your preferred pick up time.
I appreciate you all so much! ❤️✨

Thank you again Cheryl, for your order, and your shout out in Eat Shop Play LaGrange, IL & Surrounding Suburbs.
As a small business it is absolutely VITAL to our survival to be mentioned in groups like this. We know that sometimes people forget to take photos in the busyness of the moment when you are hosting or celebrating, and we understand that.
But, just think about what happens if every single customer forgets to mention you?
Just something to think about: Cheryl found out about my business from this same group.
It MATTERS.
As business owners, we can only talk about ourselves so much, before people tune us out. We need customer referrals and recommendations.
There are so many community groups, if you aren’t a member of this one, post about us in one you are a member of, or, join this one too.
We’ve always needed our customers, but in these times and in this economy: we need you more than ever.
Thank you, to all of our wonderful customers. We are grateful. ❤️

12/08/2024

We are a small business who need your support! We live and work in the community and appreciate every order. Thank you again!

How can you support a non-brick and mortar business on Small Business Saturday (or any day)?
Quite simply, this: order.
Order for the holidays, order for birthdays, order because you don’t feel like baking, order because someone you love asked you to.
In our economy now, it’s nearly impossible for small businesses to survive. Do we have the extra burden of “overhead” paying an additional rent or lease in a separate building other than our home? No.
Is it any easier for us? No.
We still pay taxes, we still pay for gas, we still have bills to pay. The rising cost of groceries alone, could put us out of business.
We give back to the community by volunteering countless hours to charitable organizations. We donate food to organizations in need. We also contribute to the local economy by buying from small businesses, restaurants and coffee shops.
We have a family to feed and provide for, just like you.
We want to keep our business alive for as long as we can, but without support, it soon won’t make sense to do so any more.
Two years ago, my husband and I had an idea that we felt was unique: combining a jerky and bakery business to bring you: “meats and sweets.”
We want to keep doing what we love, but we can’t do it if we don’t have business.
Constantly being marginalized because we don’t have a storefront, is keeping us from our ultimate goal: which is to have a storefront.
So please, if you want to know how you can help our business: order. Use the gift certificates, coupons or promos that we’ve offered and place an order. Purchase a gift certificate, order jerky, order baked goods.
Recommend us to family and friends.
Thank you, always, to everyone who continues to support our business. You mean more than you could possibly know. ❤️
