Just popping on with a little update 🩷

This week has kind of thrown a little bit of everything at me between shipping delays, sickness in the house, and now me not feeling great either.

I genuinely HATE having to delay things or switch up plans once I’ve already told people what to expect, so moving this week’s boxes is not something I’m taking lightly. But with food involved, I’d rather be extra cautious than push through just because I don’t want to inconvenience anyone.

So, I’m going to move this week’s boxes to next week and sit this Saturday’s market out while everyone gets feeling better.

If you have an order with me, I’ll be reaching out directly with updated pickup info.

Thank you guys for being patient with me and always supporting Gather & Graze. It really does mean a lot. 🩷

A We**ie Bit Older 🌭

A little 66th birthday spread for my dad. ❤️

My original vision was a full outdoor setup under a red canopy, but with how stinking hot it was today, we moved everything inside and made it work.

The spread included my first-ever double-layer chocolate chip cookie cake, marble cupcakes, lemon bars, pasta salad, chips, and a simple hot dog bar.

Once I get a vision in my head, my brain has a hard time letting it go 😂 so the red-canopy version is definitely still tucked away for another day…but I’m pretty happy with how this little Gather & Graze setup came together in the meantime. 🤍

Come help us celebrate my dad turning 66 tonight! 😂🌭 We’re making a little fuss over the birthday boy and would love to see you there.

A We**ie Bit Older! 🌭

I can bake my ass off with cookies and quite a few other things all day long, but cakes? Cakes still humble me. 😂🖤

This was only cake #3 for me, and it definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone. Black buttercream, gold details, chocolate + raspberry, with matching black-and-gold cupcakes.
Still learning, still practicing, and very grateful for the people who trust me enough to let me keep creating. Happy 30th, Haven! ✨

Another Farmers Market Saturday I’m going to have to sit out. 🤍

Between custom orders, back-to-school goodies, boxes, and everything else Gather & Graze has had going on lately, this week got away from me FAST. 😅

I was hoping I could still pull market prep together, but being a one-woman show means sometimes I have to pick and choose where my time goes…. and this week, I just couldn’t swing it without stretching myself way too thin.

I hate missing two weeks in a row, but I’m so thankful to be busy. 🥹 I’ll be back at the market soon with all the goodies. 🤍

Coat of Many Colors was one of my favorite books when I was little, enough that I did a whole school report on it. (😂 ) So when I saw the news about Dolly, I cried real tears.

Honoring her in one of the best ways I know how, felt right… giving back.
