The Blonde Bomb Bakery

Oh my heart 💔

Columbus bakery announces “permanent pause” Earlier this year, owner Sarah Biggard announced that the Blonde Bomb Bakery–a Columbuis concept known for Cake Bombs and other desserts that held a strong presence in the local market and pop-up scene–was struggling to stay afloat. In an emotional post shared yesterday, Biggard has now let her ...

There are 2 DAYS left of summer and in our countdown to the Dublin opening.

Enjoy this warm weather and some seasonal favorites as we get ready to welcome you into our newest cafe on Saturday ☀️

It’s taken me weeks to post this. As my heart is so unsettled.

Earlier this year the bakery was at a standstill. After multiple attempts to keep it going, I kept hitting walls. Financially and physically. My body had taken a severe beating over the past 4 years- from cancer to loosing the babies and honestly I never healed and rushed my body to return to normal.I struggled daily, to keep up. I thought it was over.

Then things slowly started to turn… or so I thought. I was working on a epic project- one I’m still not willing to reveal. I had been promised a spot in a new and upcoming wine shop and they wanted to invest in my BIG project. Then out of nowhere… more and more silence and then no follow through on said promises. I still haven’t heard anything from them. Slowly sliding down hill, I was empty and couldn’t see a future for the bakery. Then, again, out of nowhere, another opportunity came upon me. A LIFE CHANGING opportunity. It was a way for the bakery to still continue and for me to actually have a life- plus I was super pumped about being apart of such a cool place. Interviews, baking and talks was going on for over 30 days. Then, just when I thought we were buttoning all this up- I get a call. “We’ve over promised and undelivered.” With no reasoning, explaining or even another job offer there- they moved on. I was fu***ng crushed. CRUSHED.

I’ve been back to back fu**ed. Excuse my language but wtf?!

I am beyond hurt and honestly pi**ed. None of these situations were a ‘maybe’ thing. There were on going talks and meetings. I was completely blindsided, both times. I’m so confused and so hurt. 💔

With that being said….

Life must move on. Bills and life- do not stop. I am currently working for a fantastic company- Fox in the Snow in Dublin. Just a baker. Just one of the team. I’m honored to be there and love every part of it. Please come check it out and wave at me through the windows- we open this Saturday! 9/23!

Here’s the hard part. The Blonde Bomb Bakery is on permanent pause. Things have taken a turn and I must focus on family and my life. I still believe in what I was creating and am grateful to all of you for believing in me.

I still believe in what I was creating and am grateful to all of you for believing in me. These past 3 years have given me so much and led me to build relationships with amazing people.

I will always be The Blonde Bomb. I will always be baking and feeding the world- one way or another.

I would love for The BBB to continue but at this time- it’s at no way possible. I’m so sorry. Please understand how incredibly hard this is for me and understand if I don’t respond to comments here. I’m still very much reeling. Still secretly trying…. To find a way to continue on. ❤️

There will be 1 final sale. Date announced soon.

Thank you all for your support and LOVE. I’m honored to have it.

Long post but real stuff.

Hi, it's me. Sarah, from The BBB.

Being a business owner is hard, on so many levels. As wonderful and fulfilling as it is, sometimes it's also soul crushing. Then life has a funny way of interfering too. Surprising us and teaching you how to do things differently.

When I launched The Blonde Bomb Bakery in 2021, I was so motivated. I kept trying to collab, pop up, beer pairings and do ALL THE THINGS. As any new business owner would. IT caught up with me fast and caused me to crash. I felt like such a failure.

I've always been a strong baker/creator. But being a baker in a restaurant and being baker and business owner, were an awful lot. I was so up for the challenge though and greeted every new project with excitement. I truly love what I do and feel so lucky to do it.

My anxiety often leads me to procrastinate and overthink, which then causes me to shut down. Not a great mix but it's the truth. It's something that is often hard for me to admit, that I need to stop or just slow down-so I don't crash. However, working the restaurant life, has trained me to push, always. 😅

I've been MIA for a lot of reasons. None of which matter, to most. Just know that I'm still here and I'm doing everything to keep this dream alive. I am not closed or closing, anytime soon. That being said, finances for the bakery have hit an all time low. I've decided to return to work for a few months, in hopes of continuing my dream- The BBB. I have plans to be in an upcoming market and am still working hard on my secret project.

THE BLONDE BOMB BAKERY WILL SURVIVE. I am also still doing weddings and customs, when I have the time. I will continue to rent space at 1400 Foodlab and produce out of there, when possible.

But yeah, if any of you know someone that needs a good baker-hit me up. I have one part time job already but would be happy with another part time or even a full time, if available.

Thank you for believing in me, the bakery and my dreams. I absolutely love creating for all of you. Here's hoping, I still can. ❤️
