And the rebrand is complete! Some of you have been with us for a while and we can’t thank you enough. There’s been a lot of struggle, challenge and change involved since we started out back in 2015. To say it’s been a long tough ride would be an understatement. Much of what we encountered, as well as what we learned, was never even on our radar when it all began. Even the behind the scenes team itself has done quite the flip and let’s not even get started about the impacts of recent times dealing with the pandemic. That being said, the time spent working through everything helps to bring things into perspective. Opportunities and temptations to throw in the towel and walk away have presented themselves time and again. There’s been pauses and time for reevaluating, but in the end? Somehow it always comes back to this…this industry, this business, this support network of family and friends, and above everything….our customers. There’s something about the power to brighten peoples lives with such a simple thing like a cupcake or loaf of bread. Something about providing a happy memory, nourishing food, opportunities for young workers, and being part of such an incredible local tapestry of small business owners while we do it. So….despite everything…we’re here, and we’re here to stay….We may have needed the break to reform and evolve and come into our own (moving away from our Lourenço”s Bakery roots) and to finally take our place with a brand that’s more truly representative of who we are. We thank you for the time you’ve spent supporting us so far and look forward to sharing many more years with all of you. Thank you!!

There’s an easy way to make sure you’re buying the freshest ingredients possible...hit up those markets guys! If you don’t have time to grow your own this is as good as it gets. The fresher the ingredients the better the end result when it comes to baking!

Embracing the inner piglet over here while we fill the pantry. If you’ve ever let a 12 yr old lose in the candy aisle at bulk barn with their birthday money you’d have a good idea of what we’re up to over here. Can’t wait to start using all this stuff too! :P

If you’ve been wondering how to get your hands on some of our delicious treats you’re not alone!!
We’re currently working through a lot of the usual start up adventures (made extra fun due to covid) so our storefront isn’t currently open for pick up. We are currently accepting online orders for our macaron by the dozen for $24. PM us directly via any of our social media channels to arrange delivery!
