THE BAKERY AT ELKMONT



THE BAKERY AT ELKMONT


                         

WELL, people do I have some things to share with you.....

A while back I told you a story about a young lady named Caren who had a dream. 

She dreamed of cakes, and cookies and sweet smellings smiles and laughter

that she created all with God's help. 

I told you how she opened a bakery and began to beautiful create beautiful cakes and

people were in awe of her creations.

For years she created cakes as a hobby and had fun.

She experienced many new ideas……

After much prayer and patience,

God had allowed a far away dream to come true....

This was the good country welcome of




a dream come true......

The Bakery at Elkmont opened with a prayer,
and asking for God's blessing.

THE BAKERY AT ELKMONT

Several years ago there was a girl name Caren who had a dream…

She discovered that she liked to bake….

She began to create beautiful cakes and people were in awe of

her creations.  

For years she created cakes as a hobby and had fun. 

She experienced many new ideas……

She dreamed of one day opening her own bakery..but that seemed so far far away.   

After much prayer and patience,
God allowed a far away dream to come true....



As you stroll in, you can smell the warm hint of fresh cake

tickle your nose, and
the sweetness of fresh baked muffins and cupcakes

 …..mmmmmmmm
This was indeed the smell of a fresh colonial bakery……

This was the good country welcome of  
a dream come true......






 Caren and Kim present:


The Bakery at Elkmont was opened on its first day with a prayer, asking for God's blessing.  




Come on by and be blessed with the sweet treats that these ladies have to offer you from their bakery.  

Bro Mike Westmoreland led a prayer asking God to bless
"The Bakery At Elkmont" and the work that Kim Ogle and
Caren Samples put into the opening of their new business on the first day.  

From the youngest to the oldest, people came out on
the first day to try the new delectable desserts.  



THE COOKIES, AND CUPCAKES WERE WONDERFUL
