Have you heard of the Blakery?

Hello, Blake Makers. An idea (and a business) has been brewing in my mind for a few months now. It’s called the “Blakery,” an online, on-demand micro-bakery. ‘Online’ because it’s, um, online, and ‘on-demand’ because we won’t bake it until you order it. Oh, and ‘micro’ because we’ll start out small.
Like anything great, it takes time to build - plus, creating something out of nothing is HARD. First, let me tell you where we are. We’re in the process of finding/developing some killer-delicious products. The first (to be named/branded later) is a fudge tartlett. What you see below are tartletts in preparation for the shipping test (how will they ship? what will they look/taste like when they get there?) we’re giving these this week.
You’ll notice I said “finding/developing” because the Blakery is going to feature products I find that are amazing, and need to be thrust into the spotlight.
This fudge tartlett is too good not to share with the world, and we’ve even created a version with my peanutbutter dulce de leche.
When the Blakery launches, we’ll tell our story in full - including the story of the baker behind the product. But, for now, we’ve still got a lot of work to do. For instance, this week we hope to finalize a component of the product packaging.
While you’re waiting for the Blakery to launch, check out the two sites that inspired this idea: Tank Goodness and Foodie Boxes.
