TGIF: Redefined
Thank Goodness It's...Frosted? Stop by this brand-new (and cutest ever) bakery drop Friday afternoons to load up on decadent weekend treats.
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.
