I just woke up from my afternoon nap, and I am happy and ready to finish my day full of joy and energy. I am sure everyone knows that bakers work early hours.  I always think of us as little pixies in the dark, getting up in the middle of the night while the rest of the world slumbers, as we travel to our little bakeries and make magic in the kitchen.  It really does feel like that to me.  As obvious as it is, I truly love the whole cooking and baking for a living thing so much.  I love my customers and all the people I wo...

Nobody wants to be sick as a child, and I was no exception. Being sick meant no play whatsoever; which was horrid because “playing” is all we knew. We played indoor board games, outdoor team games, make believe, Easybake, Barbies, and babies – we rode our bikes everywhere, we ran through the sprinkler, we went sledding and skating up the road… we played hard! There were no video games, DVDs, DVRs, cable television, or cell phones. The only electronic item we played with was our record player and the T.V. antenna. When you were sick as a kid bac...

Terry, a former colleague, friend, and fellow ardent pie lover and I could talk hours about pie. We talked everything pie; cream pies vs. fruit – canned cherries vs. fresh, crumb topping vs. lattice, meringue or not, and on and on… He was not very picky about his pies, which is where we disagreed immensely. My thoughts were, and have been to this day, if a pie isn’t amazing, than I am not interested in having any. His thoughts were, a pie is pie, is a pie. He believed there to be only two kinds of pie; good pie and better pie! This always made ...

This coming Thursday there will be a big celebration at Sweetie-licious! Thursday is National Pie Day and and we'll be giving out free samples of pie to everyone who comes into our shops. We hope you'll celebrate with us by stopping in for lunch and a piece of pie, and also consider buying your friends, co-workers, or family members pie to celebrate the day with them.  

Because of the snow and extreme cold, we've rescheduled the Wednesday, January 8th. baking class to Wednesday, January 29th. There are only three seats left in that class. (The January 15th. and February 5th. classes are already filled.) To register, and pay for the Jan. 29th class, click on the "Community" link near the top of this page...
