As an entrepreneurship girlie (and bona fide foodie), this adorable business announcement caught my eye this morning. An Air Force finance officer with a penchant for baking, Mackenzie Grayson is turning her driveway into the cutest bakery “drop” I’ve ever seen — a “cottage” bake stand called Crooked Street Co. She’ll open her doors today at 4:30 p.m., so swing by her Ballston Lake home after work to kick off your weekend with decadent cinnamon rolls, muffins, cake pops, mini apple cakes or chocolate-covered strawberries.

“I’ll reopen Saturday mornings if I have anything left,” she told me earlier while in the throes of baking. The plan is to open every Friday with a rotation of homemade goodies perfect for lazy weekend mornings (she also has puppy chow and non-toxic personal care items such as body scrubs and candles). “I wanted to make a good variety for my first week, but after this I’ll make three different types of baked goods at a time,” she says. “For next week, I’m thinking gluten-free blondies, ‘strawberry shortcake’ strawberries (always a huge hit), and blueberry muffins.”

Simply head over and park on the street or in her driveway — and start shopping.

Crooked Street Co. opens today at 4:30 p.m. at 6 Crooked St. in Ballston Lake.
