There’s a delightful aroma wafting through the streets of Auburn, and it leads straight to The Baker and The Cakemaker, Inc. This charming artisan bread bakery and café, founded by the talented husband and wife team, Nathan and Alice Shreve, has been a hidden gem for Placer County and its surrounding areas. But now, the secret is out, as they proudly announce the grand opening of their new storefront, welcoming everyone to experience the magic they’ve been crafting for a decade.
Nathan, a master baker trained at The Culinary Institute of America, is the driving force behind the heavenly bread offerings at the bakery. From dawn till dusk, he’s passionately involved in every aspect of the bread-making process, ensuring that each loaf is crafted to perfection. Using only organic flours and the finest seeds, grains, and nuts, every bite is a testament to their dedication to quality.
On the other hand, Alice, also a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, manages the pastry department and handles the marketing and development side of the business. Her creative flair and love for pastries shine through in every bite. From the flakiest croissants to delectable cardamom spice snails, her pastries promise to transport you to a world of pure indulgence.
For years, the couple has received inquiries about opening a store front, and finally, their dreams have come true. The Baker and The Cakemaker is now open for business, and they can’t wait to become a part of your daily routine. With warm smiles and delicious treats, they aim to create a space where customers feel like family, a place where you can start your day with a freshly baked cinnamon roll and a locally roasted coffee.
Their vision expands beyond just bread and pastries; they’ve created a full-service bakery and café, perfect for enjoying freshly made sandwiches on their crusty bread, complemented by a cup of soup or a vibrant salad for lunch. The menu is brimming with house-made pastries, featuring an array of scones, muffins, cookies, cupcakes, and so much more.
Inspired by their travels in Europe, they’ve also added a European touch to the menu with offerings like baguettes layered with good butter and thin-sliced cured meats. This town bakery is a testament to their commitment to providing high-quality artisan foods to the community they love.
The Baker and The Cakemaker is not just about bread and pastries; it’s also about celebrating life’s moments with decadent cakes. Their cakes are a work of art and taste like heaven on your palate. The Meyer lemon cake, crowned with toasted meringue, is an explosion of citrusy goodness. For chocolate lovers, the triple chocolate cake, draped in dark chocolate fudge frosting, is pure bliss. And let’s not forget their signature creation: the cardamom spice cake, a delicate dance of flavors that’s uniquely their own.
For ten years, The Baker and The Cakemaker has been baking fresh bread, delivering their mouthwatering creations throughout Placer, Sacramento, Nevada, and El Dorado counties. With their new storefront, they’re ready to embrace the “cakemaker” aspect of their business, offering cakes for celebrations and spontaneous indulgence alike.
Their growth doesn’t just mean expanding their menu; it’s also about nurturing their creativity and fostering an inspiring environment for their dedicated staff. With this expansion, they’re thrilled to be able to generate more employment opportunities within the community while offering farm-fresh, nourishing options to their cherished customers.
The Baker and The Cakemaker is more than just a bakery; it’s a dream realized and a labor of love. Nathan and Alice Shreve are not just business owners; they’re artisans who pour their hearts into every loaf, pastry, and cake they create. Auburn and its neighboring regions are in for a treat as they open their doors wide and invite everyone to experience the magic of The Baker and The Cakemaker, where bread and pastry dreams come true.
