Hi friends,
Before we head out for a little summer break, we wanted to share a few moments that made this summer especially meaningful.
As we approach 11 years in our little Los Feliz studio, we realized something recently... While we spend most of our days designing and making cakes, some of our favorite moments happen in between the orders.
They're the conversations we have with you, the new faces we meet, the lessons we learn while trying a new technique, and all the little moments that remind us why we started Butter Cake Shoppe in the first place.
Passing It On
One of the unexpected highlights of this summer has been welcoming a couple of aspiring bakers into our kitchen.
My nephew spent a few mornings baking alongside me, asking a hundred questions and becoming completely fascinated by the process, the smells, and all the different textures. Seeing the excitement through his eyes was such a joy!
We've also had a local high school student join us to learn because she loves baking at home and wanted to experience what it's like in a professional kitchen.
Somewhere along the way, I realized something about myself... I absolutely love teaching.
Watching someone discover a new skill and grow in confidence, especially young people, is incredibly rewarding and it's left us dreaming about where this part of Butter Cake Shoppe might lead one day.
Vacation Traditions
We're packing a few Pink Cookie Mixes for our family trip because baking together has quietly become one of our favorite vacation traditions.
The boys always find the funniest and most colorful ways to decorate their cookies, and those messy, colorful, laughter-filled afternoons become some of our favorite family memories!
We hope you're finding time to slow down and to make a few sweet memories of your own this summer
