What Is a Cottage Bakery? A Taste of Home, Made With Heart

When you hear the phrase "cottage bakery," you might picture something cozy, handmade, and deeply personal—and you’d be absolutely right. A cottage bakery is a home-based bakery that operates under local cottage food laws, allowing passionate home bakers like me to share their creations with the community.

But for me, it's more than just baking from home.
It’s love in the form of flour and dough.
It’s late-night kneading sessions after bedtime stories.
It’s the joy of creating something nourishing and meaningful for others while still being present for my family.

As a stay-at-home mom, this little bakery lets me blend two of my greatest passions: caring for my loved ones and baking wholesome, organic treats for others. Every loaf of bread, every swirl of cinnamon, every hand-rolled bagel is made right in my home kitchen—with care, quality ingredients, and lots of heart.

Operating as a cottage bakery also means I can bring you baked goods that are truly small-batch, fresh, and full of intention. I’m not a factory. I’m a mom. A baker. A woman doing what she loves and sharing it with the world one market, one order, and one smiling customer at a time.

Thank you for supporting my journey.
Thank you for choosing homemade over mass-produced.
And thank you for letting a little piece of my home become a part of yours.

With warmth and gratitude,
Kathy, The Blissful Bakehouse
