To most, this photo might just look like a stack of empty baskets - but to me, it’s a snapshot of something incredibly special. 15 baskets and shelves, all emptied from the cart. It's not just about what’s missing-it’s about what emptiness represents.

Another sold-out weekend, and I’m feeling so thankful. The continued love and support from this community never fails to leave me in awe. I even got a message from a loyal customer who missed out on the apple-stuffed cinnamon rolls for the second time - and while I wish I could have saved them one, it means so much to know how excited people are to enjoy these treats.

And the messages I receive… they’re filled with such kindness and the most heartwarming stories. Some share memories they’ve made around these goodies - sweet traditions that started from one spontaneous stop at the bakery cart. I never imagined something that began as just an idea could grow into something that brings so much happiness to others.

This little dream of mine came to life with the help of my husband, who built the most perfect red bakery cart. Now here I am - staying up all night to bake, setting up early in the mornings, and spending weekends doing something I truly love.

Most people know me now as “the lady with the little red bakery cart,” and honestly? That title makes me smile. Because if one sweet treat from my bakery cart can brighten someone’s day or create a special memory, then that’s what it’s all about.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for showing up in ways I never expected. Your support fills my heart more than words can say.

Until next weekend-thank you from the bottom of my heart,
With sweet thanks, the lady with the little red bakery cart. ❤️

Okay everyone - wow! I made OVER 80 rolls (cinnamon,caramel, and peach stuffed) for the cart today and came home with just under 30... how amazing is that?!

So for tomorrow’s deal - it’s Buy 1, Get 1 FREE on Caramel, Cinnamon, and Peach Stuffed Rolls - while they last!

Brownies are also marked down since the frosting melted a little in the heat, but my husband taste-tested one and said they’re still just as delicious!
