Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to help out the talented bakers (the lovely Lauren and Morgan) of Dovetail Bakery! They were getting ready for a huge event here in Portland called Sunday Parkways, in which hundreds of people would be attending, hungry for some baked goodies. Sunday Parkways is a huge biking event where people ride a specific route around town and stop at parks along the way where local businesses (like Dovetail) are set up to help feed the many! So, Dovetail recruited some extra help as it was short notice since there was a lot to do. It was my first time making huge batches of cookies (I made over two hundred cookies just myself that day!) using huge equipment and massive quantities of ingredients. It was really fun and a great experience! I had never made that much of anything baked, but it was so enlightening to do it, it kind of blew my mind a bit.

Dovetail baked goods are some of the best vegan treats in the city. They are sold at several local groceries around town plus Whole Foods, but what is most exciting is they are looking to open up their own little bakery cafe! Soon a true Dovetail Bakery cafe will be amongst our midst here in Portland which will be a treasure for sure. I’ll be sure to let you know when they do .
