Q&A: A peek inside the pastry department

Posted by on February 28, 2012 · 2 Comments 

 Apologies to my office buddies, but if I could pick any department at Bread & Cie. in which to work, it would definitely be pastries.

Our pastry room always smells like sugar and butter and happy memories. I’ve also recently discovered that even though I pretty much hate cooking, I love baking. So when I saw Grace Martin, one of our bakers, having lunch one afternoon, I harassed her and asked all about what it’s like to make pastries for Bread & Cie.

Hi, sorry to interrupt your lunch: It’s OK. I could talk about baking all the time.

How long have you worked here? Fifteen months. Read More

CONTEST: Bread & Cie.’s “Bread Your Stuff!”

Posted by on February 22, 2012 · 1 Comment 

We interrupt this blog to bring you a message from Charles:

As you know, we long ago succeeded in getting every person in San Diego to buy and eat at least one loaf of Bread & Cie. every day. In order to keep sales growing, we have been forced to come up with a new  use for our bread.
As a result, we are pleased to announce the first- ever -in -the- history- of- the- world:
                                                                       Bread Your Stuff contest.
What does it mean to bread your stuff?

Heart cookies from Bread & Cie

Really, how can anyone say no to these?

 

Let’s say I weighed 100 pounds when I first began working at Bread & Cie. (I didn’t, but just let me pretend.)

It hasn’t even been two months and I’m already at “105.” Read More

Nina and Bobby on a bread delivery

Baseball hats make me look like a boy.

I recently joined the Bread & Cie wholesale staff from the newspaper industry, a profession that requires you to learn things fast.

Give me an hour and I can tell you everything you need to know about Balboa Park or San Diego Unified’s Choice program or my new boss, Charles Kaufman.

Apparently, it’s not so easy to figure out the bread business. Read More
