Is it really June already??? Someone better turn on the ovens!

As we enter into another busy summer of baking, PLEASE keep in mind that our ability to take on last minute orders drastically reduces.  You are always welcome to call or email, but please do so with understanding that we may have to say no.

We recommend a solid two weeks notice on all orders for weekends in June and July.

A couple other items:

~BSB will be closed from Thursday July 4th THROUGH Wednesday July 10th.  We will not be accepting orders for the weekend of July 5th and 6th [if we did so, we would be working on July 4th, and that is a holiday for our family as well].  We WILL BE AT THE FARMER’S MARKET on July 6th, so you are welcome to come and see what we have to offer for your weekend celebrations.

~We are offering gluten free bakery items weekly at the Elkhart Lake Farmer’s Market [Saturdays 8:30-12:30, rain or shine, downtown Elkhart Lake.  We are trying a variety of new flavors and goodies, so if you are or know someone on a GF diet, come on over!

~Surplus goodies will most likely take a break until later in the season, but know that any extras we have are ALWAYS available via our lobby table on Fridays from 1-6 pm.

~Just a general reminder that if you email or call the bakery on Saturday, Sunday or Mondays, please expect a return email or phone call on Tuesday afternoons!  We are superbly busy on Saturdays with the market and numerous weddings weekly, and we are closed on Sundays and Mondays weekly.

Thanks.  We are hoping for an enjoyable summer for each and every one of you.  And as always, we appreciate your business and support of our little bakery.
