Alice, the Queen of Hearts, and the Mad Hatter were all spotted at Flour Girls and Dough Boys for a tea party earlier this month! The children had a wonderful time decorating cookies and playing with these famous characters from Alice in Wonderland.

Finished! Doesn't her cookie look great?

Writing names on balloons was a big hit!

Overall, the party was a huge success. The children had fun and the bakery is happy to host such a fabulous party!

Carol Coppins, Founder

If you’ve heard through the grapevine that something is going on at Flour Girls & Dough Boys, you have heard right. You may have heard it from one of the many hopeful, would-be owners.

Flour Girls & Dough Boys is, indeed, transferring to new ownership.

I want to take this opportunity to let you know that Flour Girls & Dough Boys is still the most amazing, scratch-made everything, fun and delicious bakery/café anywhere. Fortunately, that will never change. The new owners are just as dedicated to the bakery, and maintaining its unique atmosphere and menu as we are.

Most importantly, I want you to know that all the people you know and love at the bakery will still be there.  Janece will still be taking your orders and filling your every need up front.  Rhonda will be supplying you with delicious pastries, and Jennifer will be making sure your soups are freshly made from scratch, and your catering order is both delicious and on time.  It’s impossible for you to know how much these three managers mean to me.  Because of them, even though I will be gone, you will continue to receive the same amazing service you always have.  They have been with me for a long time, and the new owner, Lory, is very lucky to have them.

The rest of our incredible team will also be staying. Jamison, Tina, Olivia and Lauren in the front. Chase, Kaytee, Tiffany, Meg, and Spencer in food. Natalie making all your favorite cupcakes and cookies. And, of course, the cleaning crew; Tagg, Schuyler, Danny and Sam.

Next to these people, who I love so much, I will miss our loyal customers most.  There were lots of people who thought an independent bakery would never be able to compete against the Paradise’s and Zupa’s of this world.  But I knew there were lots of wonderful people who would appreciate real food, made locally by locals.  I was right, and I am confident we have the best customers anywhere.  Though I’m happy to be able to spend more time with my family, and accommodate our changing family needs, I will miss my bakery life, and all of you.

Thank you for everything, and I’ll see you at the bakery. It’s my favorite place to eat!

I’ve been good for two weeks (lost 5 pounds!). But sometimes you just need a treat to re-charge your commitment. I am going to have a Happy Endings Cupcake from Flour Girls & Dough Boys. The hard part now is just choosing which flavor.

The Pirate:  Coconut chocolate cake with lime curd filling.

Tinkerbell:  Orange cupcake, pomegranate filling, cream cheese icing

A few days ago, I went shopping at flour girls & dough boys. Dave and I spent a long weekend in Santa Barbara, and I wanted to put together a small gift of appreciation for the family that kept Tagg for the weekend.

Since I clearly wanted to do something special and unique, I chose to go to the one place I knew I could rely on for delicious, always-from-scratch baked goods. I always feel comfortable buying treats at the bakery, since they actually are my own home-made recipes, made from the same quality ingredients I use when I bake in my own kitchen. I invite you all to feel equally free to pass them off as your own, I won’t tell!

When I walked through the front door, handbag at the ready, I got that special ‘shopping thrill’. I don’t often walk through the front door, so I was struck by the amazing visual treat that greeted me. The cookie smells coming from the kitchen didn’t hurt either. Like so many of you, I walked along the pastry case, and the front counter, and thought to myself, how do I choose from so many delicious options? Since I’m starting to feel the pull of autumn, I opted for some seasonal items that made me think of the harvest.

I bought a loaf of zucchini bread made from a locally grown zucchini and Rhonda’s own recipe. I also decided to try a few of Natalie’s new free form fall fruit tarts, made with a delicious buttery pastry crust, and apples or peaches with just the right combination of sugar and spices. I passed by the pumpkin bar with cream cheese icing, although it’s a Flour Girls original recipe and definitely says ‘Fall’ and ‘Yum’, and opted instead for the molasses cookies, which are finally back after their summer hiatus. In all my travels, I can’t find a molasses cookie (or any cookie for that matter) to compare with ours. To round things out, I picked up a few of our delicious made from scratch, frosted with real buttercream cupcakes, and 2 loaves of artisan bread.

Once I had everything assembled in a pretty pink ‘thank you’ box, I have to admit I was a little envious of the recipients. It all looked delicious! I get so caught up in the day to day of running a bakery that I don’t always remember how fun it is to shop at a bakery. This experience reminded me that it’s REALLY FUN! If you need a gift, or a school or office treat, or just a treat, come in and join us, the weather and the pastries are equally gorgeous.

We have amazing employees with compassionate and generous hearts. We came across a wonderful concept when I discovered that our teenage employees were working with a variety of charities in efforts to help those in need. Our employees take turns raising money for their projects with what in many restaurants would be considered a ‘tip’ jar. Rather than raising money for themselves they have raised funds for Children’s Hospital, Operation Smile, and Invisible Children, among others.

The Thanksgiving Dinner we put on for those in need started a collection which has been going on since. When we asked for our customers help in providing food for people without a place to go for Thanksgiving Dinner, your response was even more wonderful and giving than we had anticipated. When we had money left after the dinner was provided, we decided the Utah Food Bank would be the best place to give the money which had been so generously donated for those without enough food to eat.

Katie, whom you all know as one of the smiling faces up front at the bakery, decided a fun run would be a great way to raise additional funds for the food bank. She worked to create an exciting event that would provide much needed funds for the organization, whose donations have been down with the economic decline.

Since the beginning of the year, our customer’s have donated over $1000 to the Utah Food Bank.

All of us at Flour Girls & Dough Boys want to say Thank You! We appreciate you as customers, and we appreciate you as concerned neighbors and friends. Thank you for helping us contribute to those in need through your generosity.
