Hello! I’m Jan . . . the baker behind It’s All About the Dough. I started this home bakery because feeding people is my love language. There’s almost always something in the oven here: mini cakes, breads, cookies, and cinnamon rolls - all made in small batches from scratch, fresh for someone I thought would appreciate a treat, or simply because I was really in the mood to bake! Who might actually receive it was often an afterthought. Over the decades, it has always been done just for family and friends. And, over the decades, there has been constant encouragement to open a bakery.
Professionally, I managed a cafeteria for years, serving hundreds of meals daily. But I was always doing something “on the side” because it was fun and I enjoyed it. It was specialty birthday and wedding cakes, as well as cupcakes and cookies by the dozen, for special times or events. But it was still just for family and friends, and I never accepted payment for any of it. Now retired, but still producing treats, the encouragement from others continues to come in. And now that other priorities are behind me, the time seems right to have a little fun. That’s how It’s All About the Dough came to be.
My home kitchen is now considered a state Cottage Food Establishment. To hold that designation, all of my ingredients, recipes, and labels had to be approved; an independent lab tested my dough; and my home kitchen has undergone inspection, all under the authority of the state Department of Agriculture and Food. Everyone connected with my little bakery holds a state Food Handler permit.
I keep things simple: real ingredients, proven methods, patient dedication to the craft, and warm service. If you’re celebrating a milestone or just brightening an ordinary day, I’d love to bake for you. Because at the end of the day, it’s all about the dough and the smiles it creates.
