Emma Kathrene Rose, Katie Rose for short. Which is exactly how this bakery got its name.
Baking has always been pure joy for me, and now it's growing from passion into a business. It really started with a church bulletin: their fridge broke down and they needed 20 dozen cookies for the homeless. Daniel bought me a KitchenAid mixer, and off I ran. 25 dozen cookies later, I thought… I could do this for a living.
My road here hasn't been a straight line. I've been through hard seasons, faced terrible losses among family and friends, and made decisions I can't undo, and I don't pretend otherwise. But I'm locked in now: I'm earning my Master's in Business Administration at Colorado Technical University, holding a 3.97 GPA, and I've been inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success, where I sit on the executive board of my school's chapter, as well as Delta Mu Delta (International Business Honor Society). I'm building this bakery to help pay for school and fund what's next.
Because what's next is bigger than a bakery. One day I want to start a nonprofit that goes into prisons and teaches real skills, helping people build a business plan and find funding for the day they're released, when a record makes a regular job search feel impossible. I know what that wall feels like. I want to help others climb it.
For now, it starts here: small batches, real ingredients, baked to order from my home kitchen. Every dozen gets me one step closer to graduation, to that nonprofit, to all of it.
Thank you for being part of the beginning. 💗

A real home kitchen, not a factory line. Small batches, made to order, never warehoused.
Butter, sugar, vanilla, the good stuff. If we wouldn't serve it to family, we won't sell it.
Every order gets personal attention, from the first message to the final box.
