Bakery Equipment for Little Barb's Bakery
My passion for baking started at a young age when I would spend countless moments watching my grandmother perfect her iconic zucchini bread recipe. As the youngest of nine children, it was often hard to get a word in within our full household (as you can imagine!) so I always found myself speaking through the desserts I would make. I felt that one batch of perfectly gooey cookies could tell a story of a thousand words. My love of baking, and the ability it gave me to express myself, drove me to develop my skills as a self-trained baker. Bake it till you make it, as they say!
10 months ago, I decided to quit my job in the healthcare field to chase after my ultimate dream of owning my own neighborhood bakery. It was then that I started baking speciality cakes and desserts for my friends and family to make their various occasions extra special (and extra sweet!). To my surprise, they were the slice of the party! With the growing support of my customers and community, Little Barb’s Bakery was born and bread.
It was only a batter of time before I found myself outgrowing my home kitchen. In a beautiful cosmic turn of events that only a place like Durham could produce, the sweetest opportunity presented itself for Little Barb’s Bakery to join the talented group of vendors in the Durham Food Hall - crust in time, too!
I’m humbled and excited to take this next step in fully realizing my dream of owning my own neighborhood bakery. But I knead your help! I’m seeking to raise $25,000 to purchase the necessary baking equipment for my new space in the Durham Food Hall. Any dough helps (seriously)!
My vision of Little Barb’s Bakery is to create a warm, inclusive, creatively-focused neighborhood bakery for all of my fellow cake and dessert lovers to enjoy. It will be here where I will take the unique concepts and ideas from my customers and turn those visions into tasty realities. Little Barb’s will be a place where you can come to enjoy beautiful desserts of all kinds and feel inspired. Thank you for helping make my dreams crumb true!
