Bread is nostalgic. Comforting. Delicious. But the truth is, not all bread lives up to that promise — especially the kind you’ll find lining most grocery store shelves. Today, we’re spotlighting “The Nasty Nine” — the worst ingredients hiding in many commercial breads, and why you might want to think twice before bringing them home.

In the world of baking, not all flour is created equal. At The Baker and the Cakemaker, we're on a mission to revolutionize the way people think about bread – one organic, pesticide-free grain at a time. From our sourcing and fermentation to our baking processes, we offer approximately ten varieties of premium breads, all organic, hand-crafted and scratch-made.

The story starts with a little bit of heaven, right here in Auburn, California, where the essence of food returns to its roots at The Baker and The Cakemaker. Nestled in the heart of the community, we've dedicated ourselves to curating a culinary experience that celebrates the richness of each season, sourcing only the freshest, organic and locally grown ingredients for our scratch-made, farm-to-table delights. Here you find the finest breads, pastries, cakes, delectable dishes–fresh salads, savory soups and hearty sandwiches–locally roasted coffees and treats.
