Hi! I'm Erin (aka "Blanquita"). Welcome to Baked by Blanquita!

Since I started working at 17, I've always been in the professional food service and bakery industry. Over the years, I've developed a deep appreciation for quality ingredients, the patience that great baking requires, and the joy that comes from sharing something made by hand.

After 13 years in the industry, I decided to step away from the bakery world to pursue my education in nutrition and gut health. I wanted to better understand how food can nourish our bodies and support overall wellness. While I love learning, I found myself missing the creativity and fulfillment that baking had always given me.

Then my mother-in-law introduced me to the art of sourdough baking, and everything came full circle. Sourdough beautifully brought together everything I love: baking, nourishing food, and sharing it with others.

The Story Behind the Name

"Blanquita" is the nickname my husband lovingly gave me, and over the years, his family has adopted it as well. When I decided to start this business, the name felt especially meaningful because my mother-in-law was the one who introduced me to sourdough and inspired this new chapter.

Today, every loaf is handcrafted with simple ingredients, time, and care. Whether it's for your family dinner, a special gathering, or just because you love good bread, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy baking it.

Thank you for supporting my small business. I can't wait to share a little piece of my story with you, one loaf at a time.
