National Food Days

Many people have heard of all the funny holidays we have everyday in America like National Don't Step on a Bee Day, National Monty Python Quote Day, and my personal favorite, National Act Like a Dork Day (which is everyday for me). But there are also many national food days as well. I found out that my birthday is National Blueberry Pancake day, which is funny considering I don't like blueberries.

No matter what day, there is always a food holiday. Even today, National Cheesecake day. So to celebrate, my parents and I took part in our nightly Olympics along with a piece of cheesecake. Despite my attempts, though, I was not allowed to try to make the cheesecake, so this is a frozen SaraLee cheesecake. It was delicious, all the same.

Welcome!

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Flour Shop Bakery blog. In this blog you can find posts about baking recipes, some of my baking experiences, other bakeries, and lots more!

The purpose of this blog is to start getting a kickstart on my dream job of opening my own bakery.


Cooking and baking have always been my passion and a couple years ago, I decided that I wanted to turn my love into a future career. Over the years, I have also worked to advance my skills in the kitchen. This includes pushing myself to make more difficult things like decorated cakes, gourmet cupcakes, and different types of bread.
First croissants, hot out of the oven!

If anyones has any ideas for me to bake or suggestions, I would love to hear from you. Also, if you have any desire to order any of my baked goods, feel free to contact me so we can discuss your order. Please share to your friends, leave comments, and keep reading!
