Honest to Goodness Bakery

Our friends Retreat Gastropub are celebrating their 3rd anniversary! So naturally we came out of retirement to help celebrate with these cocktail inspired ginger cookies available this week at Retreat along with some of their throwback cocktails that have been featured on their menu over the last 3 years.
The cookies feature our favorite Old Forester bourbon, both fresh and candied ginger, and grapefruit zest. Icing has fresh lemon juice and MORE bourbon! But don’t worry these aren’t too boozy. The flavors were inspired by the popular cocktail at Retreat called the Pompadour, which is available on their menu TODAY! So if you haven’t been, or it’s been a while get down there and get yourself a cookie, a cocktail, and a farm burger!

Come get it!

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of our little bakery.
What started 6 years ago as a creative outlet for Kim, transformed from a nights-and-weekends-only hobby to a full scale and self-sufficient business creating beautiful and delicious desserts for our clients.

To be an entrepreneur has been a passion and a dream that we have been lucky to live out, but it has not been without its challenges. This path truly demands all of your love and energy to take on every facet of a business. It is not for the faint of heart, and we celebrate all those who take the leap.

We’re very proud of how far we’ve come and that we’ve stuck to our principles with integrity. From day one, everything has been made by hand, from scratch, with a commitment to our customers to do whatever it takes to provide the best quality that we can offer. Even with late nights and long days, it means the world to Kim to make others happy with what she’s created.

Our customers have truly been the best part of this experience. We’ve grown up with your families and been a part of your most important celebrations: from gender reveals and baby showers to weddings, anniversaries, and all the birthdays in between. It’s been our greatest honor to share in your life’s memories.

We cannot express enough our gratitude to everyone for your support and your love! Thank you for showing value in local small businesses and fostering the amazing startup scene we have in Saint Louis. Thank you for taking a chance on us!

Special shout out to Travis and Tim for allowing us to be part of menu, chef for helping us develop our delicious biscuits, Dan Tipton and the gang at the , from , our STLVentureWorks buddies , and all of our wedding clients and their families. And finally we want to thank our families who have been there to help and support us the whole way.
We were just a little fish in a big pond but we’ve had such a wonderful time making our splash. We’re ending this chapter on a high note and looking forward to the next adventure.

With all our love,
Kim, Adam, & Holly Dog
