I marvel how often things come full circle. The more I tell my story, the more I’ve realized how everything is connected—and how, in hindsight, everything seems to have been my destiny. Here’s some reflection on how connections are interwoven.
My thirst to learn is never quenched. My insatiable curiosity and passion all things baking—and educating others—has come full circle. Just over a decade ago I attended IBIE not knowing a soul. I didn’t have a bakery.
Read MoreThis August, I was interviewed for a bakery feature in the September issue of Craft to Crumb. Editor-in-Chief Joanie Spencer and Editorial Director Mari Rydings from Avant Media came to Cape Cod for an inside look at AMIE Bakery. The Craft to Crumb team has a thoughtful approach to sharing the latest in the baking industry. Their coverage of both commercial and retail sectors unearths the stories behind the people, places, and trends, shedding light on the inner workings of mom-and-pop kitchens and large-scale manufacturing operations.
Read MoreThe two great joys of my life have been travel and food—both of which lead me to open a destination bakery on Cape Cod. My friend Rochelle Kelvin recently opened Gardiner Bakehouse in New York’s beautiful Hudson Valley—a haven for foodies. Since Rochelle opened her doors last October, an in-person visit has been high on my priority list. She is a passionate bread maker and natural entrepreneur. Her Bakehouse is something special to behold, blending two essential ingredients for success: a sense of community and the smell of bread.
Read MoreAmie Smith, owner of AMIE® Bakery, is a pastry chef and writer—and creator and host of her own series on YouTube designed to educate and inspire you in the kitchen. Her mission to educate, share, and connect with the community has lead her to write a book on her mid-life career change and journey to open the bakery. Through the YouTube series you’ll learn her favorite recipes sprinkled with entrepreneurial stories and personal anecdotes.
Read MoreAs any business owner can attest, opening your doors and welcoming everyone inside can be uncomfortable and daunting. It's a huge risk in every way. There's not an hour that you don't worry about your business, customers, team, and reputation. You can interact with hundreds of people in any week. It's constantly juggling to take care of your customers as well as your team. Both are equally important—and essential—to running a successful business.
Read MoreAMIE is a small, specialty bakery that likes to think of itself as our town’s kitchen. The only thing we enjoy more than baking for our neighbors is spending time with them. We make everything from scratch and in small batches, using local ingredients from artisans who, like us, are passionate about what they do. From traditional pastries and classic breakfast and lunch items to our ever-changing selection of latest dessert trends—we serve up food people love, in a place no one wants to leave.
We believe that taste is an emotion, good food is essential, and an oven can warm a community. When we’e not baking in the kitchen, we’re teaching recreational cooking and baking classes in our AMIE Academie classroom.
