How We Plan to Use Our House Vanilla Extract in the Bakery
Our homemade vanilla extract is still in its steeping phase — slowly developing its deep, rich flavor one week at a time. And while we have a few more months to go before it’s bakery-ready, we’re already planning how it will fit into the heart of our menu.
🍰 Where You’ll See It First
Once our first batches are ready, we’ll be using them in some of our signature baked goods — especially the ones where vanilla plays a starring role. Here’s what we’re most excited about:
Strawberry Bread – Our fan favorite, where the sweetness of fresh berries is perfectly balanced by smooth vanilla.
Chocolate Chip Bread – A classic that benefits from the warm, mellow notes of our bourbon-based extract.
Oatmeal Cream Pies – The vanilla filling will take on more depth and a nostalgic aroma.
Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – The rich nuttiness of brown butter meets the caramel hints in our spiced rum extract.
Peanut Butter Cookies – A touch of real vanilla brings softness to the bold flavor.
Lemon Poppy Seed Mini Bundt Cakes – Just a dash of vanilla smooths out the citrus and rounds out the brightness.
Each of these treats will eventually feature our in-house extract — made with real Madagascar vanilla beans and steeped in high-quality alcohol bases.
🌿 Why It Matters to Us
We’ve always believed that the little things make a big difference. Vanilla might seem like a background flavor, but in baking, it acts as the foundation for everything else — it smooths, balances, and enhances every bite.
Using an extract we made ourselves, with care and intention, lets us elevate that foundation even further. No shortcuts. No additives. Just good ingredients and time.
We’re looking forward to tasting the results — and sharing them with you.
If you’ve ever wanted to taste the difference real, small-batch vanilla makes… we’ve got something coming for you soon.
