Sugar cookies are making a comeback this weekend! As of this weekend we will also have Halal goat meat available along with our pork!!

I had an idea recently on how I could improve my bread. So I tested it out! In the video I am slicing the bread hot out of the oven (still no crumbling!). In the second video (posted just after this one) I am slicing the bread the next morning after freezing it and reheating. It is sooo soft and would be a perfect sandwich bread!

This week’s doughnuts: chocolate dipped with homemade caramel drizzle.

Hello everyone! Lately I have been receiving a lot of requests to set items aside for when people come to the bakery. While I GREATLY appreciate everyone being so eager to try my goodies (and while I wish I could set aside treats for everyone) I will unfortunately have to stop doing this. We are only a small batch bakery (as mentioned before, I am the sole baker) and if I set aside treats for everyone who asks we would have next to nothing left in the shop. I want to make... everyone happy (of course) but I need to make sure that the bakery is fully stocked on our open days. I know a lot of you are coming from further away (and I am SO excited that you are willing to make the drive here to try the goodies!), but I can’t set aside so many things each week. Again, I really do appreciate all the love and everyone’s eagerness, so I really hope everyone can understand my actions. And please know that this is not directed at anyone in particular!! Like I said I have been receiving a lot of requests, so a general post is just easier to spread the message. Thank you all so much for the continued love and support!

I have been receiving a lot of compliments about my doughnuts lately (thank you!! ), but I had a feeling I could still improve them. Today I had the idea to change my technique slightly, and OH MY the results were amazing!! They are so much softer and more fluffy. I am SO excited for you all the try them! Here is a little video to try and show you the new texture. I hope those of you who tried them today enjoyed them!!

This weekend it’s all about Halloween at The Barnhouse Bakery! There will be lots of Halloween treats including these spooky brownies, witch fingers, and of course sugar cookie kits! There will also be caramel apples and Halloween doughnuts (vanilla dipped with sprinkles)! There will also be a photo wall and a costume contest, so if you have little ones who want to show off their costumes, please bring them by! (Details coming soon).

More new goodies this weekend! Jelly doughnuts, churros (again), and pumpkin spice cupcakes!

Two cakes from last week (the first is vegan and gluten free!). Plus one of my new treats this week: GF/DF Fudgeos!

New this weekend: mini apple pies! I will also be making chocolate dipped and maple dipped doughnuts, and some poppy cupcakes in honour of Remembrance Day.

Honey-glazed doughnuts in the shop this weekend!

These pumpkin spice cupcakes got a lot of wonderful reviews, so they will be back this weekend! Also, we now have our pasture-raised pork available in shop! Lots of different cuts, including bacon! And finally: does anyone have any suggestions on more doughnut flavours? I’ll be doing more this week and want to help satisfy any cravings!

These cupcake kits, along with more sugar cookie kits, will be available this weekend!

Some our the adorable contestants in the Costume Prize Draw! Thank you so much for showing off your amazing costumes! And congratulations to our winners! Obviously they enjoyed their treats from today.

Some of the Thanksgiving desserts that were ordered this year! I loved how they turned out.

I have had a lot of people asking me lately if we will be doing anything for Christmas at the shop. And the answer is: YES!! December 5th and 6th we will be having our first ever Christmas Market! We are going to fill the shop with all things Christmas. Gifts, goodies, decor, etc! See the photos below for a sneak peak of good things to come! Some of the goodies I will be doing include: -gingerbread cookie kits -gingerbread house cookie kits - chocolate crinkle cookies... - melting snowman cupcakes (or cookies) - caramel and chocolate dipped apples -cookie platters -and so much more! After the weekend of Dec 4th/5th I will have some Christmas goodies available each week leading up to Christmas. I hope you will be able to share this fun weekend with us! Is there anything in particular you would like to see (or eat) for Christmas? Let me know!

Thank you everyone for such an amazing weekend! We sold out of pretty much everything. Here is a photo from one of sugar cookie boxes that were purchased! I did not realize how popular these would be so I will be making A LOT more next weekend for anyone who missed out!

New this weekend! DIY sugar cookie decorating boxes and, yes, CHURROS!!

A lot of you have asked recently so here we go!!! As of this week my bakery is now designated gluten free ONLY! The need for gluten free far outweighs the need for regular goods, so I want to focus all of my time and energy on gluten free treats and recipes! I appreciate all of the support and feedback and I am excited to move forward with this change in mind! Let’s get excited! I will still accept orders for regular goods but only on an order basis.

Thank you!! The Barnhouse Bakery has been open for just over two months now and I could not have wished for a more positive and supportive start! I feel truly blessed that I am able to run my own bakery right on our property (I always hated driving to work) while also being able to stay at home as a mom. My baking has reconnected me with people I haven’t seen or spoken to in years (including a high school teacher!) and is allowing me to meet so many new and wonderful peo...ple! Thank you to everyone who has stopped by, shared the bakery page, shared a post, recommended the bakery to others, given me new treat suggestions, and offered me any sort of helpful feedback. I appreciate it all from the bottom of my heart! We would not have been this successful in our first couple of months without the help of all of you. I look forward to continuing to provide so many of you with treats you haven’t been able to eat in ages. Lots of new and exciting recipes are on the horizon!! See more

All available this weekend!

A little fall-time treat coming this weekend. Vanilla cupcakes with apple pie filling and cinnamon swirl icing.

I hope everyone is hungry for pie! This weekend we will be stocked up with some yummy gluten and dairy free pies, like this delicious apple pie!

Thank you so much Shelagh Duivenvoorden! I’m so happy you enjoyed it.

Welcome Fall! These fall themed sugar cookies will be available this weekend to celebrate the beginning of fall.
