Little Hummingbird Bakery

Hot dog what a day! This was my very first vendor event and I sold out of everything but 1 brioche and 2 sourdough loaves!

I started with 15 sourdough loaves (different flavors), 6 brioche, 4 dozen sourdough chocolate chip cookies and 7 half dozen sourdough chocolate chip cookies!

Thank you all for your support!!

Almost SOLD OUT!!! Blob was my thumbing blocking a man standing there…for his privacy. 🙂

Right outside Sawdust & Glitter

Nothing like your bread flour NOT showing up when you’re expecting/needing it (last Saturday) and then when the replacement finally shows up (today) it looks like this!!!

I cannot take any more orders for this week bc I cannot feed my starter without flour. Have to make it to the store to get more :-/

I’m pretty excited! I stopped buying Poptarts a year or 2 ago bc I knew they were just junk and felt so bad giving it to my kids.

I’ve tried making “Poptarts” before, they were good but not great. That was a few months ago. Today I was making a loaf for a customer and had my starter out and deflated so decided to try Poptarts again. This time I modified the recipe and boy did they turn out great! Flakey, puffed up and delicious! Best part is that the crust only had 1/2 a teaspoon in the entire batch which means each poptart had maybe 1/16 sugar in it without the filling!! I made 1 strawberry, 1 hazelnut spread filling and 1 cinnamon sugar. Also made several little cinnamon sugar poptart cereal bites (that’s a work in progress—> delicious but room for a few tweaks).

**NO JUDGEMENT to you if you buy Poptarts, they’re flipping delicious!!

HELLO! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted…mostly bc it’s summer and my babes are home. BUT I wanted to start something new and fun.

I will be doing a monthly (random) drawing for a free Sourdough or Brioche loaf for whoever:
•LEAVES A REVIEW
•SHARES A POST FROM MY PAGE (whether be a video or photos)
or
•SHARES MY BUSINESS PAGE WITH OTHERS or ON THEIR PAGE.

You’ll get one *ticket* for each of the above. Please tag “Little Hummingbird Bakery” or send message to me letting me know you’ve done one or more of the above. At the end of each month, I’ll put everyone into a drawing and randomly draw for the win. 😃

Well this message made my day! First time customer picked up her order today and this is what she sent me. 🥰

Been VERY busy!! Had a HUGE order for yesterday…4 brioche loaves and 2 dozen brioche buns/rolls for one person. Then 2 sourdough loaves amongst other items. Last week was a busy week too. Here are some goodies.

Last photo is something new I’m working on…”S’mores sourdough loaf”. The red is peppermint marshmallows bc one of my girls ate all my regular marshmallows. 😂 I didn’t add too many bc I didn’t want it to affect the flavor, more for seeing how the texture will be with marshmallow. The cinnamon swirl brioche loaf is so gooood!

Phew! Yesterday was A LOT!!! By the time I got all done, I was just too tired to post.

I made 125 (10 1/2 dozen!) cookies, 5 different flavors and 2 jalapeno/cheddar loaves.

Chocolate Sugar Cookie
Pecan Shortbread
Chocolate Covered Pecan Shortbread
Chunky Chocolate Chip
Iced Oatmeal
Lemon Crackle

Brioche Bagels…there is room for improvement. I took notes after I tried one and I did give a couple to a fellow baker and her husband to try who both like brioche and I know will give me honest feedback.

First photo is the inside makeup of brioche dough. I have never been able to open it up like this so to get this photo is a HUGE accomplishment for me. SO from that first photo I got 3 loves of bread and 6 burger buns. The croissants, 2 sourdough loaves and 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies came from my sourdough starter. And the lemon cookies are my own recipe that doesn’t use any kind of yeast. :)

My kitchen is smelling GOOOOD this morning. A fresh Jalapeño/Cheddar sourdough loaf hot out of the oven before 8am. Going to be a good day!

LOTS of making & baking today.

Busy baking day! Lots of brioche loaves…new item, brioche sub sandwich loaves as well as a mini brioche loaf.

Tried out a cinnamon sugar roll brioche loaf and chocolate chip pistachio brioche. Two videos in comments…first is how the dough started, second is the deliciousness of the CC Pistachio.

We are back up and baking! I will be baking up sourdough loaves, brioche loaves tomorrow and possibly mini muffins. If you’re wanting to place an order, please message me.

Closed for the week (re-open Tuesday the 16th) due to family occasion. Thanks for your understanding!

Haven’t posted any creations for a bit. Took some time off for Spring Break with the family.

Made this loaf special for my girls’ vice principal for “National Assistant Principal week”. He’s a wonderful person and we’re very fortunate to have him at their school.

PREEEETTY excited about this idea that popped in my brain 🙂

Inside the loaf and explanation video below in comments, please watch so you can see the concept of this one and other options!

My monarch is flying on the loaf. 🙂

It’s a “first draft”. I know exactly what to do different the next time and I CANNOT wait to try it again!

Played around today with an order bc it felt and looked like Spring out. I’m pretty happy with it, hopefully it tastes great!

•A traditional sourdough loaf came in hopping with yellow rice flour and the Easter Bunny. :)
