    A Dream Come True: Southern Starr Bakery

    February 15, 2019 / 0 Comments

    This is a guest blog post by Suzanna Starr Williams. She is the owner and operator of Southern Starr Bakery in Nicholasville, Kentucky. "You know that old saying “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”? Well, in my case it’s taken me the better of 6 years to make my lemonade, but I’ve finally gotten those lemons juiced and the mixture is coming along. With time, I will venture to say it will even be outstanding!" Read More.....

    Baking For Her Son, Christina’s Baking Story

    March 5, 2018 / 0 Comments

    Today we feature the baking story of a baker from Versailles, Kentucky. Who’s motivation for baking is her son. “My motivation for baking is my son. He is a talented musician who takes private lessons weekly, needs high quality musical instruments, and travels for many band events not just throughout the state, but also around the world. As you can imagine, all of this comes with a high price tag. I have been able to offset the expenses associated with his participation with baking cupcakes. I don’t have a cute business name, but my cupcakes taste delicious. For Derby weekend, I baked Mint Julep cupcakes and Derby Pie cupcakes. Recently…

    Today we feature the story of a home baker from Ashland, Kentucky who had to give up her bakery, but knows that God is good through it all. “When my children were younger I visited a church to possibly attend. One day (The very day) I was making the decision to either return to that church or just not. I came home to a pie on my porch from a lady that attended that very church. Needless to say on that day it made my decision easy. I still attend this church 23 years later but I’m happy to report, that I am now the Associate Pastor in Music Ministry there.…

    High Barrier To Entry, Even As A Farmer – Emily’s Baking Story

    August 29, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Today we feature the story of a farmer. This is Emily’s story in her own words. “Dear Kentucky State Lawmakers, I am Two Sisters Fudge, a small entity that followed all the rules for a few dollars per pound in profit. I am Kentucky Proud and yet that doesn’t describe my story. I wanted a way for my girls to earn money for college so we started making fudge. We searched the area for a commercial kitchen. Our only options were $250 per month in Louisville – a 30 minute commute or a small ill equipped ancient community kitchen in LaGrange, we were still paying for. We couldn’t use the…

    States with supportive cottage food laws provide simple and inexpensive ways for skilled people to begin safe and profitable businesses from home — businesses that can become sustainable jobs. Arguably, Kentucky’s lack of a cottage food law mostly affects women — ones who can and bake, but who might otherwise lack employment, garden space, access to commercial kitchens or capital.- RACHEL HURD ANGER, LEO Weekly Today we feature a story that yet again, shows how Kentucky puts the dreams of women on hold. Not every person can start out in a commercial kitchen, or a storefront. Some people don’t need or want that. They want to sell a few cakes, cookies,…

    August 28, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Today we feature the story of a baker from a rural Kentucky community. This is Beth’s story in her own words. “My name is Beth and I’m only twenty-three years old. I was born and raised in Henry County, Kentucky. I’m new to home baking because I’ve been baking for less than 2 years. However, I have never found something that fills my heart and let’s my mind wonder quite like being in the kitchen behind a pastry bag. It all started about 4 years ago, at my previous job. I was lucky enough to start decorating ice cream cakes at the local Dairy Queen. Eventually with the limited restrictions…
