Love Handles Home Bakery

Love Handles Home Bakery Love Handles Home Bakery began with a simple goal—to create the perfect chocolate chip cookie. After countless trials and errors, I finally perfected my recipe.

https://lovehandles.my.canva.site/home-bakery The idea sparked in early 2023 while I was very pregnant and watching Friends. In one episode, Monica was determined to bake the perfect chocolate chip cookie for her future kids, and it got me thinking—I s

hould do that! I named it A Big Hug From Mom—a nod to the warmth and comfort that homemade treats bring and to the love handles I’m learning to embrace. What started as a passion project quickly turned into something more, and before I knew it, Love Handles Home Bakery was also born. Now, we offer not just cookies but also brownies, blondies, and rice crispy treats, with specialty orders and catering available. The best part? My son, now almost two, loves watching me bake and sneaking bites whenever he can. Baking has become more than just a business—it’s a way to share love, joy, and a little sweetness with my family and my community. At Love Handles Home Bakery, every treat tastes like a hug from mom because I believe that dessert should feel like a warm hug—comforting, nostalgic, and made with love.

I need your help, I'm looking for your favorite small business, daycare staff, restaurant crew, teachers, healthcare workers, office team, or any group of people who have made a difference in your life or in our community.

I'm Scarlett, the owner of Love Handles Home Bakery. Over the last year, this little bakery has grown more than I ever imagined, and that's entirely because of this community.

Lately, we've been incredibly blessed, and I'd love the opportunity to give a little of that back.

Comment below with who you're nominating and a short explanation of why.

I'll be choosing 3 nominations and personally delivering hand-packaged desserts for their team (up to 25+ people), along with a handwritten card.

This community has shown my family and my business so much kindness, and I'd love to pay some of that kindness forward. ❤️

I can't wait to read your nominations.

Today is my husband's birthday, and like most men, he loves a big piece of steak! 🥩🎀🎉

Of course, I made dessert too, but that will come later today. I had to make him this rosemary garlic buttery tomahawk steak early so he could nibble on it all day long. I'm not the biggest fan of red meat, so he's going to have to tackle this one solo!

Many of you may not know this, but I love to cook just as much as I love to bake. From homemade meals to homemade sweets, feeding the people I love is one of my favorite ways to celebrate them.

I'd say he's one lucky guy, but truthfully, I'm the lucky one. He's the very best husband + dad + my bestest friend ❤️

Happy Birthday to my Brent! 🎂🥩🍪✨

🎂✨ A Birthday Story from Love Handles ✨🎂

I met this sweet girl and her beautiful family at an Anderson Farm event, where she and her little sister first tried my Dirt Cakes and loved them. 💕

A week ago, her wonderful mom reached out to plan something special for her birthday, and I was truly honored to be part of it. We worked everything out together, and I made sure her cakes were packaged up beautifully for pickup. She wanted it kept a surprise, so I covered the bakery window with birthday tissue paper so nothing would be seen early.

I also included lids and cutlery to make the day a little easier for the parents, because I know how much it means when those small things are already taken care of in the middle of birthday chaos. 💕

I bake in a baker’s dozen style (13), just in case, but somehow I ended up with 14 cakes, so this sweet girl got two bonus cakes on the house. 🎁✨

When her mom sent me a photo from the celebration, I got emotional. From one mom to another, I saw it. The pride, the love, the planning, the quiet pressure to make everything feel magical. I know what goes into these days. It’s not just a birthday party... it’s the anniversary of the moment your whole heart changed forever. And you want it to feel perfect for them.

I’ve had a tough week, and this moment really grounded me again in why I do this. I’m so grateful I got to play a small part in such a big day. 💕

Happy Birthday, sweet girl! I hope your day was full of joy, laughter, and magic you’ll always remember. 🎂✨ Barb Smith, thank you for choosing me.

🌿 Welcome to the Farm Hop 🌿

Every week, the Farm Hop grows a little bigger.

Not because of corporations.
Not because of big marketing budgets.
Not because of chain stores.

It grows because more people are choosing to create, grow, bake, raise, preserve, and share something with their community.

That’s what the Farm Hop is all about.

It’s about discovering the people behind the products.
The family farms.
The porch stands.
The bakers.
The growers.
The makers.
The dreamers.

The folks keeping the old ways alive while building stronger local communities.

This week, we’re excited to welcome several new stops to the Farm Hop family! If you’re looking for fresh food, homemade treats, plants, local goods, or unique destinations worth exploring, be sure to show these wonderful businesses some love.
