I'd like to thank each and every one of you for all your support through my baking journey.  I know I could not have gotten as far as I did if it was not for your kind words and unending encouragement.  Unfortunately, the wonderful experience of owning a home bakery is coming to an end for me.  I am just weeks away from graduating high school and have many new opportunities to explore.  I have more adventures ahead, and I know that my bakery experience will stay with me as I start working for a company next year.  Once again, I'd just like to say thanks for everything.  God bless you all!

Gracie's Bakery is Returning to the Fenton Farmer's Market for the 2015 Season!

Beginning this Thursday, June 25th, Gracie will have her booth at the Fenton Farmer's Market every week through the summer.   The market runs from 5:00 until 8:00 every Thursday (except July 2nd) and is held in the parking lot behind the Fenton Community Center.  The 2015 season marks Gracie's 3rd year with the market!  She will be in her regular spot in front of the tennis courts, so be sure to stop by and say hello.  

Gracie will be returning with all of her customer's favorites like pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, apple pie, strawberry jam, pumpkin bread, zucchini bread, and flourless peanut butter cookies.  

She will also have child & doll-sized aprons, 2 books that she's authored, brownie mix, and banana bread.  All of Gracie's breads come in both small and large loaf sizes.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Gracie's Bakery class at the Brandon Township Library tonight!

Gracie had a great time sharing all kinds of information about organic ingredients, local food sources, and healthy snacks.  She even shared the secret of why bad food tastes SO good to us (hint: the science behind how the food giants hook us centers around perfect ratios of salt, sugar & fat!).  

Everyone made their own granola bar mix to take home, too.  

But the best part of the night was when Gracie passed out samples (and recipes!) of some of her healthy homemade snacks:  fruit leather, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, vegan macaroons, peanut butter pudding, banana bread, and of course - granola bars!   

If you are interested in receiving several of Gracie's recipes mentioned above, please email Grace here and request a copy.
