 Delivery procedure - Covid - 19 UPDATED SATURDAY, MARCH 21

Hi! I will continue to take your orders either via the website or over the phone. Payment will continue via e-transfer. For the foreseeable future, RESIDENTIAL DELIVERY will be as follows: Leave a suitably sized covered Rubbermaid "type" container(s) outside your front door for your baking orders. If no container is left, I will leave your baking orders on the front step. If you wish, I will text you when your order has been delivered. 
Pick up of orders in Milestone is still available. Text me when you arrive and I'll put your order outside on the back step at my home. 
As much as I like to meet my customers in person, the current situation dictates social distancing. 
Thank you for your understanding.

I get asked time and again how I got into baking. Did I go to school to learn how to bake?  Did I work in the food industry?  The answer: No and No!  My working background is varied. I started out as an accountant actually!  I worked for a mechanical contractor, then a drug store chain, then did a short stint managing a chain of tire stores, then became a President & CEO of a provincial Crown Corporation and finished out my working career as President & CEO of a national transportation company!  Then I retired..........sort of!!

So...this baking thing that I now do is nothing more than pure passion!  I am self taught and it all really came about because my wife and I live in a small town and one day I said to her that I was really fed up that we couldn't get fresh bread anymore at our local store. She bought me a breadmaker. I didn't like the bread. We bought bread in the city.  It was just ok, but it didn't keep well. 

I finally decided that I was going to learn to make bread from scratch.  I researched recipes, read books, searched the internet and finally developed a recipe on my own that we liked. Then I moved on to buns.  Same process. Then I moved on further to cinnamon buns. Identical process but it took much longer to find that "perfect" cinnamon bun that we both liked! The locals all knew that I baked and I would get asked on occasion to bring some of my cinnamon buns to local events. At one such event, a lady from the city said to me..."I have never tasted a cinnamon bun like this. You need to go into business!!"  I laughed...my wife laughed.  Three months later, I started telling people that I baked.  I got orders. I told associates in the city that I was baking. I got more orders. I got a website and went on Facebook.  I got even more orders.  I started adding more kinds of bread and buns. I now offer over 50 kinds of bread, 50 kinds of buns and several cakes....and I am adding new baking products all the time. I love it!

Now I bake pretty well consistently 3 days a week and deliver on two days....to Regina. My business has grown to a level that I can personally handle. I get told again and again how delicious my baking is. I have never been happier!.... Happy that I can do something that occupies my time and that I love to do and that gives pleasure to so many people.  

So there you have it...that's my story!!
