Saying Goodbye to Jenn

by admin on December 28, 2011

We’ve survived another fabulous and hectic holiday season, in every way a team effort, and it’s a team led by Jennifer Binns, Sweet Flour’s head baker.  At the end of this season, however, Jenn will  be leaving us, so the time has come to say good bye. 

If the kitchen is the soul of the home, then Jenn is the soul of Sweet Flour.  She has delighted our customers with the brilliance of her baking, but it is the staff that has been fortunate enough to see her brilliance beyond.  To us, Jenn is a leader, a baker, a barista, a businesswoman, and above all, a mentor.  She has touched all of us with her patience and her passion in the kitchen.  There is a touch of Jenn in all that is great about Sweet Flour, and what she has contributed to Sweet Flour is immeasurable.        

To Jenn:

We are sad, but we know that your talent will continue to lead you to the most amazing of places.  From all of us, customers to coworkers, we thank you for being amazing at what you do and for being you.

The Weather Outside was Frightful…

by admin on December 5, 2011

…but inside was warm and filled with the yummy smells of cookies,  and our favourite Sweet Flour families who braved the first snow of the season to join us for Story Time last Wednesday.  Genevieve, our baker, had fun reading A Snowy Day on our snowy day, and Cole, Jacob, Spencer, Kate, Charlie, Alexa, Jordon, and Charlie were all ears.  Keep an ear out for the details of our next Christmas Story Time, and thanks to everyone who came out last week!

Leslie and Jacob (love those big eyes!)

Beautiful Babies…!

by admin on December 2, 2011

Time to show off our Sweet Flour babies!  Every Tuesday morning, our Mommy Connections group gets together for some coffee and conversation.  And every Tuesday morning, the Sweet Flour staff marvels at how quiet things are — maybe the babies are too busy nibbling on their first Sweet Flour cookie!  Thank you to all our Mommy Connections moms who brighten up our Tuesdays.
