LESS ICE, more icing 💕. Its personal. It hits close to home. We will not be closing today. Its not a decision that comes lightly (if youve seen my stories the last two weeks you KNOW). BUT I will continue to speak up, and educate, and call my representatives and vote and post. We have these cookies available today and we will donate a portion of those sales to @carolina_migrant_network
Did you know we partner with @goodiebag.eats to sell our day old pastries at a discounted price! Its a wonderful win all around because it gets people trying new goodies they might have never tried before, getting people goodies at a discounted price, reducing waste AND supporting two small businesses in the process. We have reduced so much waste last year alone (posting on stories). If you havent downloaded the app- get on that and see for yourself this is a win win for everyone. The only negative is you have to turn those notifications on because they sell fast 💨 ✨❤️
We celebrate all moms today💖 sharing because this was my mothers day gift from my kiddos and its batch related and I had to share how amazing it is! Happy mothers day to the champions that make life go round every day, the magic makers💖
And even more important, because my team is everything to me: tips were up $32.56 from last year mothers day sale. Yes, its just thirty dollars, yes its just one more cake than last year- but hey- the world is on fire, people are losing hope and capacity to support a more expensive cookie or cake rather than publix, so we know those $32.56 are extra meaningful. I always say, ill keep going as long as youll have me. These are my numbers, this is my heart and little bakery, thank you charlotte. Also, DID YOU TRY THE TIRAMISU AND DID YOU DIE 🪦 ? Also whatcha think about the @enderlycoffeeco draft?! Yal. Wanted. Coffee. 😂💓love you!
Help us share. Get everyone thru these doors tomo am. Its our last haul before lazy summer days when it slows down. One last push. I say to you and myself after a 12 hr shift😂😅🤭💖🤘🏼 see you tomorrow sweets!
Partnering with our besties @enderlycoffeeco s cold brew to make the tres leches draft. Looks a little different: now we only offer one size (12 oz bottle) to go. We will have different flavors (think guava tres leches draft🤪🤭 or mango cream cheese tres leches draft) each month. This month is the classic only. We make a batch, bottle it and once it runs out it runs out till next batch we make (sort of like an item in the pastry case). If youve been one of the HUNDREDS of people that has asked us when its back, this is the only way we can bring it back! Soooooooooooo- see ya soon!
Get em this week! And if you dont know about our beloved KK, shes been with us almost FIVE years, shes one of the best cake decorators, most mature and wise soul, poised, smart- the most hardworking person ive met ever. Love being her coworker and friend- happy birthday our darling girl.
🍪: caramel machiatto (like the coffee but better😂🤭) and brown butter sugar: looks simple and unasuming but everyone LOVES her.
IF YOU EAT ONE THING: Cris Rojas-Agurcia, also known as The Batchmaker, has been selling her homemade baked goods to Charlotteans since 2017. Once only available as pre-ordered “Batch Boxes,” guests now visit her pink bakery, The Batch House, in Wesley Heights when they’re craving a sweet treat. The self-taught mom of two and her team craft unique treats weekly, but for first-time patrons and regulars alike, the S’mores Brownie is a must-order on every visit. @thebatchmaker
THE INSPIRATION
“S’mores Brownies were one of those items I dreamed up before everyone became obsessed with creating their own versions of it,” says Rojas-Agurcia. “I had been an avid blog reader, and I remember a blog called The Londoner ... and she made brownies and used Oreos. I thought, ‘What other cookies can I use?’ Then, boom, the idea of the S’mores Brownie came to mind.”
THE BROWNIES
“Our S’mores Brownies are good because we use dark, good-quality chocolate and a secret ingredient I learned from a friend in Honduras,” says Rojas-Agurcia. The brownies are notoriously rich, gooey and decadent. A housemade graham cracker crust acts as the base, and a thick slab of chocolate brownie batter (with said “secret ingredient” mixed in) resides on top. The brownie is finished with a layer of marshmallow, perfectly roasted to a golden brown. The result is a dessert reminiscent of a campfire in the most delicious way. Pro tip: Microwave it for a few seconds for an extra indulgent bite.

being a small business owner sometimes is about juggling all the things life throws at you at the same time. Some of these balls are inevitable: fluctuation in the economy//weather//competition//staffing//pricing of items//ETC. and then there are the balls we need to juggle that feel somewhat heavier, because they feel personal (they might or might not be). whether its parking, actively walking around a foodtruck to get to us( theyre ALSO a small business so please make sure to check em out too!) or whatever it is, make sure to support your small businesses. We are juggling all these balls every single day that go unseen and with so many small businesses closing left and right, we need you friends. More than ever, support small ❤️ even if you come in to buy ONE cookie a week- we’ve experienced the impact of all of us working together: small works make big change! Happy Saturday!
