Iris & Honey Bakery

This thick, beautifully crispy focaccia pizza is probably one of the best things I’ve ever made. I went to a restaurant about a month back that served this and it was so subpar it made me sad, so I decided to try and recreate it myself and I’m so glad I did. This is definitely going to be a go-to dinner from now on! 😋

Rosemary, garlic, and sea salt focaccia. A classic flavor that is almost always what I end up making when I bake focaccia. Salty, savory, fluffy bread that is perfectly crispy fresh out of the oven. Best eaten fresh or reheated in the oven for a few minutes to get that crispy crust.

Proof that even experienced bakers still mess up sometimes 😂 I was making this chocolate chip banana bread for me and some friends and thought it was done but it wasn’t. I even tested it with a toothpick that came out clean, but I guess I needed a longer toothpick! Took it out of the pan and it just immediately started oozing apart. This was a total fail, but the edge pieces that were done tasted great! One of the things I love and hate about baking is that you really never know how things are gonna turn out. You can follow every step perfectly and still mess up, and you can cut some corners and it turn out great! That’s the fun of it, I think. At least for me anyways 😂

So I’m thinking about trying out something new when I come back to baking after the baby’s here. I’ve had a few people ask me if I’d be willing to learn how to make sourdough bread. It’ll probably take me a few months to learn it and perfect it before I start to sell it, but before I spend all that time learning this new skill I wanted to see if this is something a lot of you would be interested in. If it is, I’ll probably start learning soon and should be ready to sell by the new year. Let me know what yall think!

An absolute classic combination, peanut butter chocolate cupcakes! So simple but such a delicious treat! I will be closing orders on July 18th, so if anyone would like to order from me before then please let me know! I’ll be reopening orders in the fall. Baby boy will be here so soon!

A summer favorite: s’mores cupcakes! I could probably eat about a million of these 😂

One of my favorite cupcakes I’ve ever made and a definite hit at the baby shower, a few of you guessed correctly! These banana pudding cupcakes turned out so good for my first time making this flavor. These cupcakes are available to order (by special request only) with a minimum order of a dozen cupcakes.

A little sneak peak of some of the cupcakes I made for my baby shower tomorrow! These confetti cupcakes came out so cute! (Also: you can see part of another flavor in the corner. Can anyone guess what it is?)

Since I haven’t been baking that much lately, I wanted to make a post of all of my favorite things I’ve made over the past two years! Some of these were seasonal options and some things I no longer offer. Baby boy will be here in a matter of weeks, so if anyone would like to get anything from me, better do it soon! 😂

I had so much fun making this SpongeBob themed cookie cake for my cousins birthday last week! I think it turned out so cute!

Made these chocolate hazelnut and salted butterscotch pretzel cookies for a friend this weekend! These are two of my favorite flavors that I make, they’re so good 😋

Some cookies I made as a graduation gift. Salted butterscotch pretzel and classic chocolate chip! I could eat about a million of these 🍪

One of my favorite breads to make, focaccia! This savory bread is perfectly fluffy and soft, topped with sea salt, garlic, and rosemary(or any toppings of your choice). It’s best fresh out of the oven, since the olive oil it’s baked in gives it an amazing crispy crust, but it’s also delicious at room temp or reheated in the oven. You can grab one of these for yourself at $10 each!

I’ve officially decided to get back into baking. I’m sure most of you already know, but I am currently 27 weeks pregnant, and I could use a little extra income before and after baby boy gets here in August. I’ll probably be taking a little maternity break once here’s here, but until then I’m back! I’ll only be accepting a couple orders a week to ease back into it and not overwhelm myself, so I’ll let you all know when my orders are closed for the week. I’m also now living in Choctaw, but still go back to Washington from time to time and most of my baking supplies are still down there for now, so I will still be baking down there until I’m able to move my supplies to my new place. Baking has always been my passion, and I’ve really missed it these past few months. My menu has changed slightly, a few less flavors and a couple of different items, but overall it’s mostly the same! I can’t wait to get back into baking for you all!

Happy national pretzel day! Featuring these snail pretzels I made yesterday lol 😅🥨

Hey everybody, it’s been a while. I’ve been thinking about maybe coming back to baking again. I’ll probably start with a limited menu until I get back into things. Would anyone be interested if I started again?

This is a post I’ve been putting off making for a while, but I think it’s finally time to make it. A lot has happened this year that has really taken a toll on me, and unfortunately I’ve lost my passion for baking in the process. It used to be my stress relief, but it became a stressor instead. It’s pretty obvious if you look at my page that I haven’t been baking much, if at all. I think it’s time for me to admit that I need to officially take a long break from iris and honey. I don’t know if or when I’ll start baking again, but I’ll keep you all updated if I do. Thank you all for the support you’ve given me and my business since I started it last year. Hopefully this isn’t goodbye, just see you later 🩷

Hello everyone! I just wanted to remind you all that August is the last month to order from the summer menu! It’ll be the last chance to try some of these amazing goodies until next year!

I tried making some apple cinnamon muffins today! They turned out pretty well for a first try, but they could definitely use a few tweaks to make them perfect! I may end up adding these to my fall menu this year 👀

These s’mores cupcakes from my summer menu seem to be my most popular this year! A delicious chocolate cupcake with marshmallow frosting, topped with a little piece of a Hershey bar and crumbled graham cracker! These will only be on the menu until the end of August, so make sure to try them while you can! 🍫😋

I made an array of cookies for my family Fourth of July party this past Saturday. The flavors are: s’mores, chocolate chip, salted butterscotch pretzel, and a new flavor I’ve been testing, Reese’s! These were fun to make and turned out so pretty! 🍪

This strawberry lemonade cake and these cinnamon roll cupcakes turned out amazing! It was so fun getting to make them for my favorite persons birthday 🍓🍋🍰

One of the summer menu items, s’mores cupcakes! These are mini cupcakes, but this flavor also comes in regular sized cupcakes and cakes!

I’m finally bringing out my summer menu! I’ve been in the process of moving, so it’s a bit later than I usually try to release my seasonal menus 😅 this menu will last until the end of August, so get these seasonal items while you can! ☀️🌊

One of my deluxe flavors, chocolate peanut butter cupcakes! 🥜🍫

I always love getting to make cute classics like these adorable confetti cupcakes from last week! 🎉🧁

Edit: this has been SOLD
I have a peanut butter chocolate MINI Bundt cake up for grabs! This is a deluxe flavor, that I usually only do on cupcakes, but I wanted to see how it would work as a Bundt cake. This beauty is $15, so grab it before it’s gone! 😋🍫🥜

One of my absolute favorites, cinnamon rolls! These are so soft and sweet and the cream cheese frosting just brings it all together 😋

Gotta love a classic, chocolate chip cookies! 🍪

Hello everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know that May is the last month for the spring menu! Only a few more weeks to get to try some amazing items, like this delicious bread! Focaccia has become one of my favorite things to make! 😋
