Serving the Palisade area, plus Denver catering with two weeks' notice
A little something sweet for every chapter
What’s better about By The Book Bakery than store bought? I have been making oven fresh goodies for years and every treat is handled with extreme care! Each recipe has been tweaked over the years to a standard I would want from a business that I'm giving my money to. I bake with simple, natural ingredients that you would use if you were making cookies for your children. Each order is baked and packaged specially for you!

Come and get it
Pickup, or I'll bring it to you locally. Made fresh, never sitting around, and it won't taste chemical-y.

Some of what comes out of this kitchen was never going to be invoiced. It's just what I can do, one batch at a time, as one person running one kitchen.
Free cookies for the folks who keep this town running, a hand with a school fundraiser, a birthday cake for a kid whose family could use one — know someone, or need an extra hand yourself?
