Laughing Oak Bakery Website
I have always loved to bake. From when I was small and helping my mom as she baked epic amounts of cookies for swaps during the holidays, to the first batch I baked after having my son, I have found joy and comfort in the magic contained within flour, eggs and sugar. Nothing pleases me more than seeing someone enjoy eating my creations as much as I enjoyed baking them.
I'm a stay at home mom and needed to find a way to earn an income to help take care if my family. I've done a lot of odd jobs over the years to earn money, but cooking and baking have really remained a passion. To me, good food is a way for people to connect, the very act of breaking bread is the coming together over a meal.
But the kitchen is even more personal for me. I've struggled with depression my whole life, but especially after the birth of my son. The first moment where I began to feel normal, like myself again, was cooking. My kitchen, my food, was the first step in reconnecting with the world, with my wonderful friends and family. Three years since that "first" meal, and I'm so much healthier, and realizing this is where I belong.
My goal is to renovate my small kitchen so I can get it certified as a residential kitchen, which will allow me to sell my baking and jams to the public.There are several things that need to be done in order to get it up to state standards and to meet our needs for space, as well as certifications.
A note on Delivery: I cannot ship items due to state laws, but will deliver orarrange pick up. Basically, delivery can be any where in Massachusetts. If you're in CT, RI or NH, I can deliver for additional cost. HOWEVER, delivery to a LARP in MA, NH, or CT is FREE. Delivery of rewards begins anytime after September 1st 2015
I apologize for the extra cost, but it's necessary to keep the cost of delivery from negating your kind donation! Also, pardon some of the weird amounts, but it will only allowme one reward per amount.
STRETCH GOOAAALLS!
Goal #1- Hit $9,000-
what this would do for me - This will replace my old oven and allow me to upgrade my stand mixer to a professional quality!
What I will do for you- Host a Thank you party for everyone who donated $50 or more with delicious things to eat!
Goal #2- Hit $10,000-
Allow me to purchase equipment for the EXCLUSIVE use for GLUTEN-FREE bakery items!
What I will do for you-
Everyone who supported at $50 will get an additional bag of cookies or bread loaf, everyone at $100 will get an additional bag of Faith in Humanity Brownies or Lemon Pound Cake, supporters of $500 and over, a custom cake! Everybody wins!!
My family thanks you for your interest, patronage and never ending support. We pride ourselves on a home that welcomes everyone in, and are excited to break bread with you in this new endeavor!
