Sticks, Stones, and the Backwoods Baker

Proof that I did a better job with my cut lines this week! 😆

Thanks for a great market today, folks! 💛

I also wanted to let everyone know about a couple of upcoming rock art workshops:

🪨 Steampunk’d Hair Salon
📅 Tuesday, June 9
🕐 Choose your time: 1–4 PM or 4–7 PM
💲 $55
A charming Yarmouth space that’s equal parts creative, cozy, and inspiring—the perfect place to turn a handful of rocks into a story worth framing. 🪨✨

🌿 Serendipity’s Lakeside Retreat
📅 Sunday, June 14
🕛 12–4 PM
💲 $65
This is the full meal deal! Enjoy a buffet-style lunch 🍽️, your choice of frames, rocks, sea glass, and paints 🎨, plus a serene lakeside setting that does half the work for us.

What is it?
Using your own beach finds or mine, I’ll guide you in creating a personalized framed art piece you’ll be proud to hang on your wall—or gift to a nature-loving friend or family member.
✨ It’s unique.
🌿 It’s inspired by nature.
😊 It’s fun.
You don’t need to be artsy. You just need to show up.

Bring a friend and make an afternoon of it! 💛

You know, today, while baking away in my almost-dream kitchen (Mike says I’ll be painting by Tuesday. Eeeeek!), I couldn’t help but feel grateful as I live into the life I’ve dreamed about for a very long time.

It’s been more than a hot minute getting here, but it’s happening. Every day we’re closing the gap a little more.

Today I found myself thinking about all the people who’ve supported me along the way. It showed up in the funniest places — baking with my Kerry pans, Tam’s vanilla, Deb’s spinning cake thing, and Erin’s immersion blender.

Actually, that really is Erin’s immersion blender. My mom accidentally sent it to me when I moved out west in 2007, and somehow it’s still here. Every time I use it, I think of Erin, and I like that, so I keep it! 😆

And you guys — my customers. Thank you for supporting my little market business. Every cupcake, every cake slice, every visit to my table helps me build this life. I am so grateful for every one of you.

This week I’ve kept things easy — the same flavours as last week:
🧁 Strawberry Lemonade
🧁 Blueberry Lavender
Both are available in regular and gluten-free.
🍊 Orange Almond Poppyseed Cake

And speaking of support, I’ll also be selling Andrew’s Spiced Mead Honey Cake by the slice. He made it with his own homemade peach mead, and it’s soaked in a mead honey syrup. It’s ridiculously good.

See you at the market!

Not to go on and on about our new kitchen and then not show you pictures… but we’re determined to reveal the finished product —for full dramatic effect.😄

What I can tell you is that having 10 feet of uninterrupted counter space (up from 6!) has already been absolutely dreamy. 🧁
Of course, life is all about balance, and the opposite side of this bliss is that EVERYTHING is somewhere else, and most of it is in another room.

I am more than ready for strawberry and blueberry season, so this week’s flavours could really only be:
🍓 Strawberry Lemonade
🫐 Blueberry Lavender

Both regular and gluten-free 🌿

And this week’s cake:
🍊 Orange Almond Poppyseed

Just wait until you see this one. It’s going to be as delicious as it is beautiful… or maybe as beautiful as it is delicious 😄

If you’re new around here, my cupcakes (and cakes) are:
✨ naturally flavoured
✨ just the right amount of sweet
✨ a little different — you won’t find flavours quite like these elsewhere
✨ available in regular and gluten-free (at no extra cost)

They’re made for sharing, gifting, and treating yourself —mindfully 🌸

Stop by and say hi — I’ll have samples 🧁

Did everyone enjoy the long weekend? ☀️🌿

We missed last week’s market, and maybe you thought we’d taken a little trip somewhere… or finally decided to relax for five minutes 😄
Nope.
We ripped the kitchen apart. Like… right out.
Our little survival kitchen has officially been replaced with our forever dream kitchen 🧁

We’ve been working nonstop to get things back together in time for baking day—and it’ll be together enough 💪

(No photos until it’s properly done done 👀)

As for this week’s flavours…
I’m thinking:
🍓 Strawberry Lemonade
🫐 Blueberry Lavender
…and a really good cake 🍰
I’ll see what my sister has been sending me on Pinterest lately 😄

Hello folks 🌿

Just a quick note to let you know that I won’t be at the market next weekend (May 16).

I’ll be back May 23 with fresh baking, lovely flavours, and plenty of treats 🧁🍋🌸

Wishing you all a fun, safe, and sunshine-filled long weekend ☀️

Still figuring out Mother’s Day? I’ve got you 💐🧁

When I tell you that I made this week’s cupcakes with extra care, I mean the kind you notice with your eyes, your nose, and your taste buds. 🌸

If you’re new to my cupcakes, people love them for their flavour, just-right sweetness, real ingredients, and I-can’t-believe-these-are-gluten-free cupcakes at no extra cost.

Oh—and the cloud-like buttercream you absolutely do not want to pick off 🧁

This week’s flavours:
🧁 Sakura (Cherry Blossom)
🧁 Strawberry + Lavender

I’ll also be bringing cupcake bouquets because… come on, they’re beautiful 💐

Each bouquet is a mix of both flavours
Regular & Gluten-Free available
$25

And for a more accessible little treat, I’ll also have lemon cake pops—which happen to be GF 🍋

They’re a true labour of love at $2.50 each.

And if you don’t want to take my word for any of this… I have samples 😌

Sometimes the best gifts are the ones that feel like you really thought about it 💐

I’ve thought about the ingredients, so you don’t have to. Small batches, real ingredients, naturally flavoured, and not overly sweet. People love them.🌸

This week’s flavours:
🧁 Sakura (Cherry Blossom)
🧁 Strawberry + Lavender

Each bouquet is a mix of both flavours
Regular & Gluten-Free available

These cupcake bouquets are soft, floral, and just a little unexpected… something to pause over, share, and enjoy.

$25

Pre-order by Wednesday for market pickup 🌿

Send me a message, and I’ll set one aside for you 💕

If I lived closer to my mom, this is what I’d be bringing her for Mother’s Day 💐

But since I don’t… she’ll be getting the photo version 📸🌸

So instead, these are heading to the market for your favourite people 💕

Cupcake Bouquets for next week:
🧁 Sakura (Cherry Blossom)
🧁 Strawberry + Lavender

Each bouquet is a mix of both flavours, available in regular or gluten-free.

$25

Pre-order by Wednesday for market pickup (or message me and we’ll make a plan!)

A bouquet… but make it dessert.
