Bakery Blog & Recipes
Welcome to The OTHER Side of Mindful BakeHouse
The side for the do-it-yourselfers, the adventurous bakers, and those that live a little to far away to make it to our bakery in person. This is where I post all the fun gluten-free dairy-free things I've been testing/making that aren't official BakeHouse recipes. Most of which we also share on our YouTube Channel, as well as our second instagram account, & TikTok. So if you're like me and you'd rather watch than read, feel free to go follow us on your fav social media app in

Work-Life Balance? Does it exist?
Our bakery has been a labour of love from the very start. It started more than a year ago as a "side-hustle" while James & I both still had full-time jobs.

When I got old enough, I got to join too! I started as the ch

What is it like to be a Downtown Windsor Farmers' Market Vendor?
Short answer: Amazing & crazy! Long answer: It's a very early, very long day, exhausting & exhilarating... We started at the DWFM back in September 2020 (has it been more than a year!?!) Back then, I was still working full time as a Pharmaceutical Scientist at Catalent, so I signed up for alternating weekends, to give me time to bake enough product to bring. It meant lots of super late nights baking, labeling, packing and organizing. Waking up before the crack of dawn the mor

What's with this plate, you ask?
A few of you have asked about the striped plate we use in some of our photos. This awesome beachy plate in the photo below. (photo credit: 3 Girls and a Kiln) It starts back in Toronto, almost 15 years ago, when I was doing my post-grad in pharmaceutical R&D and met my best friend - she was in the class right after mine, and we ended up at a conference together and started a conversation over tattoos, lol. Fast forward a few years after we both finished our programs, and we
