WELCOME!


Thanks for stopping by the Best Bites Bakery. I'm so glad you're here!


Being in the kitchen since I was a toddler, I'm excited that I now get to bake the goodies that I love and share them with you. 


I'm working around my school schedule, so baking is done over summers, weekends for special holidays, too!


With that in mind, be sure to sign up below to get notifications when new bakery dates are set. Thanks for being here and sharing in the joy of sweets!

DELICIOUS POSSIBILITIES


At Best Bites, every product is made with joy, fresh ingredients, and a touch of creativity.


I love to make some of the traditional baked staples your mom or grandma used to make. Things like:

  • Banana Bread
  • Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Brownies
  • Muffins


And I also enjoy a variety of seasonal goodies throughout the year, too. Things like:

  • Red Velvet Cookie Sandwiches
  • Fresh Strawberry Scones
  • Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes
  • Pumpkin Crumb Cake Muffins
  • Christmas Sugar Cookie Bars


Plus, the Best Bites menu makes for wonderful gift ideas!

MY BAKING APPROACH


I believe in:

  • Offering a variety of high quality bakery items
    You'll see everything from cupcakes and cookies to breads and bars on the rotating menu from time to time.

  • Using fresh, natural ingredients
    Fresh fruits and natural sweeteners are often used in the recipes at Best Bites.

  • Baking from scratch
    There's just something joyful about scratch baking, and I honestly believe it tastes better that way!

  • Seasonal flavors
    Apples and pumpkin in the fall are some of my favorites. And lemon in the spring for sure. Fresh seasonal flavors are hard to beat!
  • Providing full disclosure on allergens
    For my friends with allergies or sensitivities, I list all ingredients on our labels. And several of my recipes are naturally gluten free, nut free, or dairy free.

I ALSO BELIEVE IN HAVING FUN!


Time in the kitchen is just fun for me. I get to create delicious and tasty treats from scratch. And I get to try out new recipes and learn new baking techniques. 


But what I think is the most fun is getting to share my homemade goodies with you. To know that you will get to enjoy one of my best bites, share it with a friend, or give it as a gift just makes my heart happy. And that's fun!
