HOPE

Our final window display at MTA, filled only with HOPE.  

Thank You!

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to this week's bake, including my beautiful cousin Susan for giving me her recipe many years ago for her chocolate chocolate chip cream cheese cupcakes.  They've always been a crowd pleaser.  (DM me if you'd like the recipe)  We're getting organized for deliveries today which are going to health care workers at long term care senior's residences here in Hamilton.  In addition to baked goods we will be delivering face shields.  A coworker of Rich's has been producing hundreds and hundreds of shields on 3-D printers in his garage over the past few weeks.  So, a big thank you to Ryan!!  The facilities were thrilled to hear they'd be receiving shields when we called to see if there was a need.  If you know of any front line workers or facilities in need please DM me and we can arrange with Ryan.  It's pretty incredible what he's been doing!  Back to the baking, like I said before, I'd like to keep this going as long as needed.  If you can help out in the coming weeks, please DM me.  Thanks very much!  Stay safe.  Be well.  And bake good.  We'll bake it through this together! 

Happy Easter!

Beige gold.  While the thought of selling on the black bread market the 6 packages of yeast I found tucked away in a kitchen cabinet crossed my mind, I decided to just double up on this year's Easter bake.  Who would have thought 'yeast crisis' would have been a byproduct of these times?  It's just one more thing we took for granted that we'll look at in a different more appreciative way on the other side of this.  Happy Easter! 

Thanks Again!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this week's bakes!  We're getting tomorrow's packages organized and looking forward to delivering to the ER team at William Osler Health System.  There's a personal connection there as Rich and my good friend Dyanne are part of a great charity, Socks 4 Souls, that was started by doctors at Osler.  

"Socks 4 Souls Canada is a non-profit volunteer organization committed to contributing warmth, comfort, dignity, mobility and health to homeless people by providing them with new clean socks.  We recognize the importance of good foot health and how it can impact one's ability to seek food, shelter, medical care and other social services."

Like I said before, I'd like to keep this going as long as needed.  We have a few 'perpetual donors' but are grateful for the new contributors each week.

If you can help out, please DM me.  Thanks very much!  Stay safe.  Be well.  And bake good.  We'll bake it through this!  

Thank You

It feels like we're going to be learning, and relearning, a lot about ourselves and each other during this period....and while we reset to a 'new normal' down the road.  Over the last couple of weeks, I've relearned how great my friends and clients are, and how willing people are to step up to the plate.  Thank you so much to everyone who has stepped up and contributed to this week's bake!  As I'm organizing all the beautiful goods for tomorrow's deliveries and finishing up the last batch of my mom's butterhorns, I'm feeling a little more optimistic than I did yesterday (or for the last little while) People care!  

Tomorrow's deliveries are going to the health care workers at 3 local seniors residences and nursing homes.

I've had people reach out over the past few days expressing concern for our safety regarding what we're doing.  Thank you so much for that too.  But we're good.  I've coordinated and am leaving deliveries outside the facilities and contacting the health care workers to come pick up after I've delivered the packages.  I'm also leaving packages at the home doors of individual health care workers to bring to their teams.

I'd like to keep this going as long as possible.  We have a few 'perpetual donors' but also hope for new donors each week.  If you can help out, please DM me.  Thanks very much!  Stay safe.  Be well.  And bake good.  We'll bake it through this!  

We’ll Bake it Through This

I like to bake.  You like to bake.
I want to help. You want to help.
I’ve got time on my hands. You might too.
Here’s the plan. We’re going to be doing weekly deliveries of home baked goods to health care workers and first responders on the front lines here in Hamilton.  If you can help out with baking, I’ll pick up your goods and deliver them using safe social distancing practices.  Deliveries started yesterday.  This week we’ll be delivering to staff at a couple of local seniors residences.  I’ve got 6 dozen butterhorns on the go.  We’ve got clients and friends doing lots of cookie varieties, brownies and banana bread for this week’s deliveries.  For details and donations during the weeks to come, please DM me.  Thanks in advance, stay safe, keep well and bake good!

Good morning folks,

Yesterday morning we posted on our Instagram account that we had made the decision to close for the next two weeks and reevaluate at the beginning of April.  Today, it seems more realistic to amend that post and let you know we will be closed indefinitely.  If you have purchased a piece and would like to pick it up, please phone us at 416.407.1269 and we will do our best to accommodate.
Take good care, stay well and enjoy your books and movies.  And let’s keep in touch.

Best,
Michael
