Cady's Cooking

What an anniversary announcement! Four years ago today, I posted my first menu to Instagram and Facebook, announcing that Cady's Cooking was open for business and taking my first orders. Today, I'm announcing that the menu is going to be going through some major changes!

This year, Texas updated the laws for cottage food, or home bakers, and now after registering with the Department of State Health Services, we can legally offer foods that require temperature control - aka foods that need to be kept cold. This means we can now sell things like cheesecake!

My license is approved and active, meaning gluten-free cheesecake and other goodies will be available starting today. As always, everything is made-to-order so please send me a DM or e-mail to let me know how I can make your next celebration a little sweeter.

A lovely bake as we get back into sunny weather - a batch of lemon rolls with lemon glaze and a loaf of banana bread. The rolls pack a juicy, bright punch of lemon from a spread made of butter, sugar, lemon juice and crystalized lemon. It's a more subtle look than cinnamon rolls, but just as tasty! The banana bread smelled wonderful and would make a great snack or breakfast.

Thank you for the order!

It's official! Pizelles are on the cookie menu! Can't wait to share this delicious recipe with you.

What a wonderful coincidence! The theme for the final week in the baking challenge was cake and I was feeling a little anxious about baking a whole cake with no one to share it with, when I got an e-mail ordering a dozen cupcakes for Easter today. Thank you so much for letting me be part of your family's celebration and for unknowingly fitting into the challenge :)

I was given freedom to decorate the cupcakes so I did a few silly Easter themed ideas, including bunny tails poking out of the grass and Easter eggs, plus a few more serious ribbon designs in a few colors that I associate with the holiday. I think they came out super cute!

Thank you also to for running this little challenge and all the work you do every day!
