Firecracker Bakery

I was first introduced to the cookies that Firecracker Bakery makes at a friend's house. They were so yummy! I'm not a huge fan of icing, as it can easily seem too sweet, but this icing I really liked. The flavor was very fresh, so I went to visit the bakery today. Lynn, the owner, is young, vibrant and very personable. It turns out the bakery got it's name because Lynn was born on the 4th of July! She makes cookie cakes, cupcakes and cookies. It was there that I had one of the best Carrot Cake Cupcakes I've every eaten! Of course, she grates the carrots herself and makes sure everything that she makes is to her high standards. She also offers an option called Pizza and Pastries. It could be for a birthday party for younger kids, a teen party, or team building - really, it could be for any age. The first phase for the group is that on site there will be a pizza station where you are supplied with a pizza crust, sausage, cheese, and sauce so each person can create the pizza to their individual liking. While the pizzas are baking, the younger ones can decorate a to go container in case they have leftovers. Lynn also can talk to them about being a business owner and seeing if any of them have thought about that as an option. I was my daughter's girl scout leader and it seems like a perfect activity for them, too. The second phase is cookie decorating. Starting with a chocolate chip cookie cake, Lynn can show them how to use cookie cutters to make individual pieces and then how to decorate them with different colors of frosting. Who wouldn't want to do that? You won't be disappointed with any of their offerings.
