A Letter From Alex
Ever since I was young, I loved to bake. I was always experimenting with new recipes and trying them out on friends from church. It was always so exciting when they would ask me to bake something for the next church potluck.
When I was a little older, I became involved with cooking and cake decorating in 4-H, but after that, I let my passion for baking take a back burner to finishing high school and other pursuits. I started working at a bakery during my senior year of high school and worked there for several years. That's when I started to get the "fever" again for baking. I took three cake decorating courses and started baking and decorating cakes on the side. Since then, it's become a dream of mine to open my own bakery.
My husband, my mother and my sister all worked at Downsize Farm and loved it, so I decided to join them when an opening became available. And that's where I met Bobbi and her dream of The Spotted Cow Coffeehouse. When she asked me to bake the goods for the Spotted Cow, I feel so blessed by the Lord to be fulfilling my dream of running a bakery.
