Dinner solved in under 15 minutes!

Today’s meal prep showcase features our 10-Inch Neapolitan-Style White Veggie Pizzas, and they are officially stocked in our freezer for easy grab-and-go!

We build these on our signature sour Neapolitan-style pizza crust, layer it with our rich and wonderful house-made Alfredo sauce, and pile it high with fresh, vibrant veggies.

Because we use freshly sliced mozzarella, you get a perfectly creamy, pure melted base with absolutely zero caking agents. Keep a few in your freezer for those chaotic nights—they bake to crispy perfection in just 12–15 minutes!

We baked a fresh one for the shop today, so come on by for a sneak peek taste and give it a try. (while they last)

Good Morning Sweet Town!
If you love lemon, this one’s for you! 🍋

We make our cream puffs with pâte à choux, the same dough we use for our éclairs. We switch up the fruit fillings and curds throughout the week, but they always have real whipped cream with vanilla.

This one is filled with our scratch-made lemon curd. That little bit of tart lemon with the whipped cream is such a good combination! (Sweet-Tart, seems like I've heard that before)

Come by Farm to Cake and see what we’ve filled them with this week. Grab one for yourself, or take a few home to share. I won’t blame you if you keep them all. 😊

Cold, wintry days call for grilled cheese and a warm cup of soup!

Our Four-Cheese Sourdough Grilled Cheese & Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Bisque meal kit is waiting in the freezer at Farm to Cake—another cozy addition to our growing lineup of take-home, heat-and-eat meals!

We grate white cheddar, mild cheddar, smoked Gouda, and Gruyère from the block and tuck them into our sourdough bread, ready for you to grill. Add a cup of our creamy roasted red pepper tomato bisque, and you’ve got comfort food ready when you need it.

Stock your freezer for those days when you want something warm and comforting without much fuss. Heat the soup, grill the sandwich, and about ten minutes later… enjoy!

Scratch made. Fresh-frozen. Ready when you are.

"Is your sourdough really fermented?”
“Do you use a real starter?”

Another set of odd questions we get in the shop and at the markets. Why would someone ask that? Of course we use a real starter. Of course our dough ferments. Sourdough is sourdough… right?

Nope… here’s why they ask.

Some bread sold as sourdough uses starter mainly for flavor, while commercial yeast makes it rise. Others get their sour taste from added ingredients such as vinegar. You may hear those shortcuts called “sourfaux.”

I even found a product sold by King Arthur called Instant Sourdough Flavor. It’s a powder you can add to give bread that sourdough tang without maintaining a living starter. They clearly label it as a flavoring—but it shows how bread can taste like sourdough without being made through the traditional sourdough process.

Adding sourdough flavor doesn’t replace sourdough fermentation. That’s why asking how your bread is made matters.

Here at Farm to Cake, our sourdough bread is a three-day process, raised with a living starter we feed and maintain right here in the bakery. We don’t add commercial yeast to hurry it along, vinegar, or sourdough flavoring.

We keep part of our starter—the “mother”—and feed it to prepare the levain for the next bake. We always make enough for our bread and keep enough to feed again for the following day. That bucket in the photos? Five gallons of levain just for our Saturday Bake!

Flour, water, salt—and time. We mix, fold, shape, and give the dough time to ferment and develop its flavor.

Come by in the late afternoon and you may see tomorrow’s loaves tucked into their proofing baskets, settled in for the night. We bake so much sourdough that we sometimes run out of room in the back!

Now those questions make perfect sense to me. And we’re happy to show you how your bread is made.

Strange phone calls are coming in! And now we know why!

“Are y’all closing?”
“Did you move?”
“Are you opening on Main Street?”

Wait… WHAT? 😳

Then we figured it out! Our neighbor moved, and the sign in their window has some folks thinking the bakery is moving, too.

Our neighbor moved. We didn’t!

Farm to Cake Bakery is still right here in Historic Hazelwood, baking bread, rolling dough, and filling the cases with good things to eat. 💛

Those two empty storefronts? Keep walking past them! We’re at the end of the sidewalk, by the railroad tracks—in the same spot you know and love.

Help us clear up the mystery: share this post and let folks know we’re still here, still open, and still baking!

Fettuccine Alfredo is comfort food for a reason, so it felt like a good way to kick off our meal prep and meal kit offerings.

Several of you helped us test this one, and now there are only a couple of kits left in the freezer. If you want one from this batch, come on in!

We make the spinach pasta with durum wheat berries and hard red wheat that we mill in-house just before making the dough. The Alfredo sauce is thick, creamy, and clings to the pasta. Each kit also comes with a slice of our sourdough and garlic butter for toast.

The best part? Keep it in your freezer, then make it whenever you want. It takes about 15 minutes from freezer to plate.

We have several other meals available and will add more each week. Come see what’s in the freezer!

As many of you know, we’re working on a meal prep program, and you’ll already find a few of our fresh-frozen meals in the bakery freezer. Including a few fresh-frozen pasta meals that we mill in house.

Today I was writing the label for our version of a grilled cheese: sourdough with white cheddar, mild cheddar, Gouda, and Gruyère. I expected four very different ingredient lists. Instead, they all came down to the same basics: milk, salt, cheese cultures, and enzymes.

How do four cheeses with such similar labels taste so different? The cultures and enzymes help develop each cheese’s flavor and texture. How the cheese is made and aged matters, too. Cheesemakers often keep the specific cultures and enzymes they use proprietary, so we may never know exactly what makes each one taste the way it does. I have a longer explanation on our website. https://farmtocakebakery.com/four-cheese-sourdough-and-grilled-cheese-in-waynesville-nc/

I thought that was pretty interesting since I love cheese and never really understood that. And now I’m even more excited to put all four between slices of our sourdough.

If you like your breakfast extra sticky, this one’s for you.

Our Pecan Sticky Rolls are soft, gooey, and covered with a buttery brown sugar topping and plenty of pecans. They’re nutty, a little messy, and absolutely worth the sticky fingers.

Stop by and grab one while you’re out and about in Hazelwood. We’ll have the coffee ready.
