🎁💕 EXCITING NEWS! SOMETHING NEW HAS ARRIVED! 💕🎁

I’ve been a little MIA lately, but I promise I haven’t disappeared! 🥰❤️

I’ve been right in the HEART of tax extension season with my accounting business, and let me tell you, it’s been a whirlwind! Between tax deadlines, bookkeeping, preparing for upcoming bakery events, and everything else life throws my way, there just haven’t been enough hours in the day! Can anyone else relate?! 🙋‍♀️😂

I also want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to everyone who continues to support, encourage, share my posts, place orders, and spread the word about my little cottage bakery.

Every purchase, every kind word, and every recommendation means more than you know. What started with a love for baking continues to grow, and I’m so grateful that God has allowed me to share something I genuinely love doing with all of you. ❤️

📖 “Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14

🎁 A Little Something Homemade, Just for You!

10/10/2026

🎂❤️ A Little Sourdough, A Lot of Love & a VERY Special Surprise! 💍

Oh, y’all!!! 🥹❤️ Sometimes the sweetest creations are the ones made with a little extra love and a whole lot of purpose!

Today, I stepped outside my usual sourdough creations and made something a little different…

A homemade German Chocolate SOURDOUGH Cake with a rich, made-from-scratch Coconut-Pecan Filling & Topping! 🍫🥥🤎

Now, according to my Dad, a proper German Chocolate Cake should have THREE layers! 😂❤️ But for today’s special occasion, I decided on two! After all, I made an extra cake for my family and a few others to taste-test, too!

And Dad, thank you for sharing some of your baking insight! ❤️ I promise I’ll find a way to get one of these cakes to you! 😉🍫

And you know me… I’m always learning, experimenting, and perfecting my recipes!

But what makes this cake especially meaningful isn’t just what’s inside. ❤️

In just a few hours, a very special couple will be saying “I DO!” 💍🤍

And I have the honor of surprising them with this cake as a wedding gift from Imperfectly Perfect Cottage Bakery!

What a blessing to be able to create something with my own two hands and share it with others during such a special moment in their lives!

The more I bake, the more I realize that God is teaching me so much more than recipes. He’s teaching me patience, creativity, perseverance, and what it means to use the gifts He’s given me to bless others.

And I am SO incredibly thankful! 🙏❤️

“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14 (ESV)

That verse is so fitting for today, for this beautiful couple, and for everything I want Imperfectly Perfect Cottage Bakery to represent.

✨ AND NOW FOR SOME EXCITING NEWS!!! ✨

After today, Imperfectly Perfect Cottage Bakery will officially begin accepting custom orders for special occasions! 🎉

From custom cakes, cookies, and muffins to sweet treats for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, school gatherings, holidays, and other special celebrations!

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply want to bless someone with something homemade, I would LOVE the opportunity to create something special for you! ❤️

Because at Imperfectly Perfect Cottage Bakery, it’s never just about the baking.

It’s about the love, the memories, the blessings, and the people we get to share them with.

And as always…

🤎 Made with Love, Not Perfection! 🤎

Congratulations to the beautiful couple! May God bless your marriage with a lifetime of love, laughter, faith, and countless beautiful memories! 💍🤍

🍂🍞 A LITTLE CHANGE OF PLANS… BUT GOD’S TIMING IS ALWAYS PERFECT! 🤎🙏

Well, y’all… it looks like Mother Nature had some other plans for this weekend! ☔️😂

Due to the forecasted weather, the Milan Fall Fest originally scheduled for this Saturday, October 10, has officially been POSTPONED to Saturday, October 31! 🍁🎃

While I was SO excited to see everyone this weekend, I completely understand the decision. The safety of the vendors, organizers, and everyone attending is what matters most! ❤️

And let me tell you… this little baker has been BUSY preparing! 😂 Between grocery shopping, weighing ingredients, cutting and portioning inclusions, assembling boxes, and getting everything organized, I’ve been working hard behind the scenes!

But sometimes, God has a way of reminding us that it’s okay to slow down, rest, and enjoy the blessings right in front of us. 🤎

And with tax extension season finally coming to a close, I think this unexpected change of plans might just be a blessing in disguise! Between keeping up with my accounting and bookkeeping clients, preparing for the fall baking season, and juggling everything else life brings, it’s been a busy season in more ways than one!

So instead of spending this weekend baking around the clock, I’m going to take this opportunity to REST, RECHARGE, and spend some much-needed quality time with my family. ❤️

Because sometimes we get so caught up in everything that needs to be done that we forget how important it is to simply be present with the people we love. And those moments? They’re priceless. 🤎

📣 A FEW IMPORTANT BAKERY UPDATES! 🍞

Since I’ll be taking this weekend to rest and spend time with family:

🍂 I will NOT be attending the McKenzie Farmers Market this Saturday, October 10.

🍂 I will NOT be restocking my booth at the McKenzie Antique Mall this weekend. I’ll be bringing fresh goodies back to Booth 214 next week!

🍂 PREORDERS WILL REOPEN MONDAY, OCTOBER 12! 🎉

So don’t worry, y’all… the sourdough isn’t going anywhere! 😉🍞 I’ll be back to baking your favorite breads and sweet treats next week!

And remember…

🍁 NEW MILAN FALL FEST DATE: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31! 🍁

I’m still looking forward to seeing everyone there, and I’m praying for beautiful weather, an amazing turnout, and a wonderful event for all the hardworking vendors and organizers!

One of my favorite reminders during seasons like this is:

✨ “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10 ✨

Sometimes the unexpected change of plans turns out to be a blessing we didn’t even realize we needed. 🙏❤️

Thank you all for continuing to support Imperfectly Perfect Cottage Bakery! Every order, every kind word, every prayer, and every bit of encouragement means more than you know.

☔️ RAIN OR SHINE… WE’RE COMING, MILAN! 🍞🤎

Okay, y’all… apparently Mother Nature may be planning to attend the Milan Fall Fest too — and she might be bringing the RAIN! 😂☔️

But guess what?!

RAIN OR SHINE, Imperfectly Perfect Cottage Bakery WILL BE THERE this Saturday! 🙌🍞

I’ve been working, prepping, baking, organizing and getting ready to bring SO many of your favorites — sourdough loaves, minis, Petite Boule Trios, muffins, cookies, crumble coffee cakes and more! And a little rain is NOT going to stop us now. 😉

But I do have one little favor to ask…

🙏 Will y’all pray with me that the rain holds off?

Pray for beautiful weather, safe travels for everyone, an AMAZING turnout, and a wonderful day for all of the vendors, small businesses, organizers and families who have put so much into making this event happen.

And even if a few raindrops decide to show up…

Grab the umbrella and COME SEE US ANYWAY! ☔️😂
We’ll have the tents up, the sourdough ready, and plenty of goodies waiting for you!

One verse keeps coming to mind as I prepare:

“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24 🤎

Rain or sunshine, I’m choosing to be thankful for the opportunity, thankful for how God continues to bless this little bakery, and thankful for every single person who comes out and supports local.

📍 Milan Fall Fest
📅 Saturday, October 10
☔️ RAIN OR SHINE!

Come find Imperfectly Perfect Cottage Bakery — Made with Love, Not Perfection. 🤎🍞

And Milan… bring your appetite! Because I’m bringing the SOURDOUGH! 😂🙌

🍂 NO PRE-ORDERS THIS WEEK — BECAUSE I’M BAKING UP SOMETHING BIG! 🍞🧡

This week is going to look a little different at Imperfectly Perfect Cottage Bakery! I will NOT be opening pre-orders this week because I’ll be putting all of my baking time, ovens, mixers, and probably every inch of my kitchen 😂 into preparing for the Milan Fall Festival!

🍁 MILAN FALL FESTIVAL 🍁
📅 Saturday, October 10, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
📍 Downtown Milan, TN

I am SO excited for this one! I’ll be bringing a BIG selection of your favorite sourdough breads, minis, sweet treats, and plenty of fall goodness. ❤️

So instead of placing your usual preorder this week, come see me in Milan! Shop local, grab some yummy sourdough, enjoy the food trucks, live music, shopping, kids zone, and all the Fall Festival fun! 🍂🎃

And here’s the important part…

👉 IF I have anything left after Saturday, I’ll be taking extras to my booth at the McKenzie Antique Mall on Sunday and/or posting what’s available right here on Facebook. So STAY TUNED! 👀 I’ll let y’all know what I have once the festival is over.

I’m praying for a wonderful week of baking, a beautiful Saturday, and hopefully… not very many leftovers to post! 😂🙏❤️

Thank you all for continuing to support this little cottage bakery of mine. Every order, share, comment, recommendation, and person who stops by my table means more than you know.

🧁🍪 WHY AM I RUNNING LATE THIS MORNING?! 😂🤎

Because apparently I thought market morning was the perfect time for a little last-minute experimenting! 😂

I’ve been finishing up orders, putting the final touches on everything for the McKenzie Farmers Market, getting everything loaded up… AND working on something else pretty exciting that I’ll be sharing soon. 👀🤎

✨ Be on the lookout for another announcement! ✨

But while I was finishing up my Pumpkin Crumble Sourdough Muffins this morning, I had some extra maple glaze left over and thought…

🍁 What would happen if I put that maple glaze on my Pumpkin Snickerdoodles?! 🍪

Well… LOOK AT THEM! 😍

The only problem? I haven’t even had a chance to try one yet! 😂 I had to get everything loaded up and get myself headed to McKenzie. So those beauties are sitting at home waiting for me, and I seriously cannot wait to see how they taste!

And, of course, there are always a few little extras that stay behind for my household… including some Strawberry Sourdough Crumble Muffins 🍓🧁 and, naturally, my cup of tea. ☕️🤎

This is what market mornings look like around here—a little chaotic, a little experimental, and a whole lot of love. 🥰

✨ Made with Love, Not Perfection. ✨

Now… off to the McKenzie Farmers Market! 🥖🧁🍪

And y’all… stay tuned. I have some exciting news coming! 👀🤎

10/02/2026

🎃🍂 KATIE, YOUR FALL FAVORITE IS READY! 🍞🤎

Fresh out of the oven and LOOK AT THIS ONE!!! 😍🎃

Katie, your Pumpkin with a Twist Sourdough is officially baked, and I cannot WAIT for you to cut into it!

This one just feels like FALL. 🍂🤎 A beautiful handmade sourdough loaf with that delicious pumpkin filling and all those warm fall spices swirled throughout. And the smell coming from my kitchen right now?! SO. GOOD. 🤤

There is a reason Pumpkin with a Twist has become a fall favorite around here! 🎃🍁

And because I had one of my minis coming out of the oven too, I had to put them side by side so you could see the difference between the full-size loaf and one of my minis. Aren’t they cute together?! 🥹🍞

Now the important question, Katie…

How are you going to eat yours?! 😂

French toast?! 🤤
Warm with a little butter? 🧈
Toasted with cream cheese?
Maybe maple or honey butter? 🍁
Or just slice it up and enjoy it exactly as it is with a hot cup of coffee or tea? ☕️

I have a feeling this one would make some AMAZING fall French toast! 😍

And this is what I love about doing what I do. This isn’t a loaf that came off a grocery-store shelf. It’s sourdough that was mixed, fermented, shaped, filled and baked by hand right here in my little cottage bakery. 🤎

And just like every loaf that leaves my kitchen, there’s one ingredient you’ll never see printed on the label…

A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE. 🥹🤎

Katie, I truly hope you and your family absolutely LOVE your Pumpkin with a Twist, enjoy every last bite, and are blessed by it. 🙏🎃🍞

Knowing that something I made with my own hands will soon be sitting on your family’s table is something I will never take for granted.

Thank you for trusting me to bake for you and for supporting Imperfectly Perfect Cottage Bakery. 🤎

🌶️🧀 ROBIN, YOUR LOAF IS READY! 🥖🤎

Fresh out of the oven and OH. MY. GOODNESS. 😍

Robin, your Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough is officially baked, and I cannot WAIT for you to cut into this one!!

The smell coming from this loaf right now is absolutely AMAZING. 🤤 Fresh sourdough filled with jalapeños and all that melty cheddar baked right into the loaf… SO GOOD!

Seriously… it doesn’t get any better than this! 🎶😉🌶️🧀

And this is one of the things I love so much about making sourdough.

You know who made your bread. You know what went into it. And you know it wasn’t simply pulled from a grocery-store shelf after being mass-produced.

My sourdough is made from scratch, slowly fermented, shaped by hand, and baked right here in my little cottage bakery. 🥖🤎 There’s something pretty amazing about taking simple ingredients — flour, water, Ruth (my sourdough starter 😉), and salt — and watching them become a beautiful loaf. Then, of course, this one gets even better with cheddar and jalapeños! 🌶️🧀

And every single loaf gets something that will never appear on an ingredient label…

A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE. 🥹🤎

There are SO many ways to enjoy this one — toasted with butter, topped with avocado, spread with cream cheese, turned into an AMAZING grilled cheese, or simply warmed up and enjoyed exactly as it is. 😋

Robin, I cannot wait for you to cut into your Imperfectly Perfect creation! 🥰 I truly hope you and your family absolutely LOVE this loaf, enjoy every last bite, and are blessed by it. 🙏🤎

There is something so special to me about knowing that something made right here in my kitchen will soon be sitting on another family’s table. 🥹

Thank you for trusting me to bake for you and your family and for supporting my little cottage bakery. Every loaf is made by hand, prayed over, and sent out with a whole lot of love. 🙏🥖🤎
