Oct 6 Update – Two weeks as a paid baker (can’t call myself a professional baker, but “Paid Baker” works), and I learned some things. I can fill orders for bread just about anytime, but things like banana bread and cookies need minimum orders.
Sept 24 – I have been baking homemade bread for years. A good friend requested that I regularly bake bread for her, and that got me thinking. How about I bake for lots of people? On Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2018, I started baking and selling from my Facebook page. A few menu items have led to more, and I’m sure I will add more yummy items as time goes on.

How to order – Comment or message me at my Facebook page – Becky Allred Facebook page or text/call my cell at:


For now, I am baking Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Orders must be received by 4am the day of baking, or they move to the next baking day. Also indicate if you want morning or afternoon pick-up. I exercise and run errands after baking, so we need to make specific pick-up or delivery times. If you are very close to me (1/2 mile of post office), I can deliver if needed. Or, if you order $50 or more, I will deliver in Rock Springs.

Payment – Generally, I take payment upon delivery, but orders over $20 need to be paid ahead of time. I take cash, check, or PayPal (which can do credit cards and bank accounts.) PayPal handles all your financial information, I never see it. If you are familiar with PayPal, get into your PayPal account and use the email address pictured above to send me a PayPal payment. Or email me directly, and then I will have your email address to send you a PayPal invoice.

Here are the selections I have, and their prices:

White Bread – $3.00 per loaf
Cinnamon Bread – $4.00 per loaf
Half whole-wheat/half white Bread – $4.00 per loaf
Honey Butter – $2.00 for 6oz
Cinnamon Rolls – 1/2 pan $5.00 (has 9 medium cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting, or you can request regular frosting.) Full pan $9.00 (has 12 large cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting.)
Orange Cinnamon Rolls – has orange zest worked into the dough and filling. 1/2 pan $6.00 (has 9 medium orange cinnamon rolls with orange cream cheese frosting, or you can request regular frosting.) Full pan $10.00 (has 12 large orange cinnamon rolls with orange cream cheese frosting.)

Minimum Orders:
Pumpkin Bread – $10.00 for 4 mini loaves (3.5×5″ 9oz ea) or $12.00 for 4 with Chocolate Chips
Banana Bread – $8.00 for 4 mini loaf (3.5×5″ 9oz) or $10 for 4 with walnuts
Chocolate Chip Cookies – $10 for 3 dozen (my recipe has a bit of oatmeal, which most people love. But if you want yours without, let me know and I can adjust.)
E.T. Munchies – $8 for two dozen (peanut butter oatmeal cookie with Reese’s Pieces), chewy & delicious!
Pizzelles – an italian waffle cookie dusted with powdered sugar, individually hand-pressed in a pizzelle cookie press. $12 for 30 pizzelle cookies. Traditionally pizzelles are flavored with anise (black licorice flavor), but mine are flavored with almond extract instead. Much tastier! You can also request vanilla flavoring instead.

Kettle Corn – Lightly sweet and salty popcorn, stove-top cooked. Great flavor! $2.00/bag (9 cups per bag), 2-bag minimum






Card Service Project – Week #3

Now it’s week three of my Card Service Project. Here are the new cards I made this past week to add to my giveaway stash yesterday:

And this greeting:

First, I cut the card from one of my custom AccuCut die sets, in Bazzill Basics Hillary. The coordinating mat is cut from my favorite cardstock, French Papers Speckletone True White, which you can read about on this blog post. Then, I used a few old Stampin’ Up! ink pads, Old Olive and Close to Cocoa. The stamp set used is Unity Stamp Company JS-989A Country Pumpkin Chowder, the “just saying hello” greeting is from Hero Arts CL380 Truly Appreciated set and the “thank you” greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful words set.

This is one of my favorite A2 card dies, so simple to make a card! It’s AccuCut’s A2-Gift Card NC215 die. Now, I have a little secret. Shhhh, don’t tell. I altered my die! Yes, I know it voided my warranty, but to me it was totally worth it. This is what I did:

I took my scrollsaw and cut the gift card shape out of the card die. I made it the Series 3 Convertible size, so that I could insert it in other A2 card and mat dies. Now I can use this die as a regular card die (LOVE a fold-and-tuck card shape!!), as well as a gift card die, and also make gift card mats for all my other A2 cards! Awesome, right?! I thought so, too. But if you don’t want to alter your die, just cover up the gift card slots with a mat.

For this card, I used BoBunny patterned paper, Ocean color Double Dot Double-Sided Textured Cardstock 12″X12″ (not pictured, but is the same color as the Journal line), and the Ocean color Journal Double-Sided Textured Cardstock 12″X12″. The Double Dot paper line is still available and going strong. Love this stuff, go get some. I also used AccuCut’s Nameplates #12 N1056 die to stamp the greeting on French Papers Speckletone True White cardstock, and also Flowers #19 F1028 die to make the pink flowers. I used a plain circle punch for the flower centers. The ribbon is one I ordered from JKM Ribbon. The greeting is stamped from the Stampin’ Up! set Simple Sayings II. The inside mat is also cut from the French Papers Speckletone True White cardstock and is from a custom die I had AccuCut make for me.

I die cut this one from my custom AccuCut A2 Pocket Card die, which I had made for me several years ago because I loved AccuCut’s A7 Pocket Card. AccuCut now has a nearly identical one in their catalog, the A2 Card-Easel. I love the pocket card shape! It’s totally a staple in my card-making. I cut this from Bazzill Basics Granny Smith cardstock, used the A2 Card-Bands NC223 die to cut the card band from Doodlebug 4129 Colorful Kites patterened paper. The flower was cut from AccuCut’s CR632 Frames-Scalloped Circle die, in Bazzill Basics Pinata cardstock. The insert tab, cut from Bazzill Basics Lagoon cardstock, is from a custom shape I had done, but you could improvise with a 3″ circle shape, by placing a folded piece of cardstock about 5/8″ over the inside of the circle, and it would give you that rounded circle wedge/moon shape. AccuCut has two 3″ circle dies, either the Circle Convertibles Insert (Series 1) CV109 die or the Circle CR200S die. The greeting is stamped from the Hero Arts CL434 Just Find Me set, using an old Stampin’ Up! Pink Passion ink pad.

Week #3 is done, let’s do some more for next week!

Card Service Project – Week #2

Now it’s week two of my Card Service Project. Here are the new cards I made this past week to add to my giveaway stash yesterday:

First, I cut the card from the AccuCut A7 Jacket Card #1 die in a smooth navy blue cardstock. Then, I cut the center mat from the AccuCut Vintage die. Then I embossed it with the Darice Woodgrain 5″x7″ Embossing Folder Background. The light blue cardstock is Via Periwinkle. The center white mat is cut from a custom mat die I had made by AccuCut, measures 2-1/2″ square. But you could substitute a die cut from the AccuCut Accents-Antique die, the inside shape of the 3″ frame is 2-3/8″. The tab is cut from the AccuCut Tabs die and I decorated it with a Creative Impressions silver medium heart brad. The white card liner is cut from the AccuCut A7 Pocket Card die. I trimmed it a bit short so it wouldn’t be taller than the card with the tab added on. The ribbon is Morex 5/8″ Sheer Organdy ribbon, French Blue. The stamp set used is Stampin’ Up! Elegant Greetings and the ink is an old Stampin’ Up! pad, Night of Navy.

I love the simplicity of this card! I can see I’ll be making a ton of these, as well as adapting the design with a variety of stamp sets. Easy to make one-layer card, yet it is still pretty and elegant. I die cut it from the AccuCut A2 Card-Scalloped #3 die. The cardstock is French Papers Speckletone Cover – True White. I love this cardstock! I use it in almost all my cards. It’s a fiber-flecked smooth cardstock, a visually pleasing texture that is just the perfect off-white color, just barely neutral. It stamps well and works with both bright and neutral color inks. I buy it directly from French Papers online, though I wish Bazzill Basics or American Crafts would add it to their collection so I could get it in 12×12″. I should see what it would cost to have French Papers custom-cut a batch of 12×12″ for me. Might be worth it. Seriously, you need to have some of this! For this card, I stamped the butterflies from the Stampin’ Up! set Flight of the Butterfly, in an old Stampin’ Up! pad, Lovely Lilac. I sponged the scallops in the same ink color. The greeting is from the Hero Arts Clear stamp set CL380 Truly Appreciated.

I handcut this card, just cut a regular 8.5×11″ piece of cardstock in half, 8.5×5.5″, then scor and fold in half. I rounded the corners with the Large Corner Rounder Punch I sell in my eBay store. Again, this is the French Papers True White cardstock. The stamps used are Hero Arts CL351 Friends greeting set, Hero Arts CG526 Large Notebook Paper stamp, and the Stampin’ Up! Flower Factory set. I used old Stampin’ Up! Ink pads, Close to Cocoa, Rose Red, and Rose Romance. The ribbon is Morex 3/8″ Sheer Organdy Dusty Rose and the brown twine is from Creative Impressions.

Can’t wait to see what I come up with this week ahead!
