My Story
In 2018, after just getting married, my husband and I explored the western US on a 6 day, 5,000 mile roadtrip. With our oldest daughter in the backseat, and the road ahead, we conquered seeing many of the beauties of America. However, there was one place that stood out among the rest. Sitting just outside of Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming was a small restaurant called Trapper Grill. We sat as a family and ate pizza, looking at the Teton Mountain Range. We took a two mile hike through the national park, and it was hard to believe the beauty that surrounded us; the waterfalls, the wildlife, the mountains. We would have stayed forever if we hadn't ran directly into a mother moose and needed to hightail it back to the car. But something about Wyoming just felt right. Trevar and I looked at each other and knew in that moment that Wyoming would be our home one day. For the rest of the trip, all we could talk about were our future plans to one day settle in Wyoming and open a small bakery. We would have the mountains in the horizon and enjoy a simple retirement serving baked goods to locals.

Baking has always been part of my identity since I was a little girl. I would spend hours crafting away, making cookies and fudge for the family. As an adult, baking became my love language. Breads, pastries, cakes, and cookies were my go to gifts for those I cherished most. I put all my love into everything I made, hoping that it would bring smiles to the faces of the ones I love. I had always dreamed of going to culinary school, opening a restaurant, and sharing my love with a never ending amount of people. At 29 years old, and 16 years perfecting my art in the kitchen, one of my dreams is coming into fruition.

While the mountains are still a while away, the dream of opening a bakery has come to life. The Little Ladd Bakery was created to share my love for baking with a larger audience than ever before. It was incredibly important to me to use high quality ingredients, organic when possible, and offer products free of artificial dyes. With a small mission at the beginning, The Little Ladd Bakery has expanded into adopting the quote, "Something for everyone". On my menu you will find gluten friendly, dairy friendly, and vegan options for those with special dietary needs. Sourdough breads are made with the purest of ingredients and never contain commercial yeast. The Little Ladd Bakery has turned from a dream, into a reality, and I could not possibly feel more blessed. Thank you for your support. It means the world to me.
