Hello, and welcome to my stepping stone.
I am Kelley; I am a wife, a mother, an avid baker and, as of 2 weeks ago, A failed business owner.
In March 2015, after years of baking for friends and family, and having a small amount of success with a cottage bakery, I decided to stop pussy footing around and actually open a brick and mortar bakery. With a successful crowdfunding campaign and a new business partner, Lavender Box Bakery in Sparks NV was launched on August 6, 2015.
We had a fairly good run; I got to do what I love–bake every day. But, as with many first time businesses, the run was just too short, and we closed our doors on January 21, 2017.
So, I decided to go back to my roots.
inKredible edibleS is actually the root of Lavender Box Bakery that grew from the seeds planted and nurtured in me by my mother and grandmothers, three women whose home revolved around the kitchen and food. Every occasion and gathering was a feast for both the senses and the soul.
So, I am in the process of strengthening my life, by strengthening my roots.
Living an inKredibly Edible Live will focus on my food roots; sharing recipes, stories and the love of home, food and family that brought me to this inKredible life.
Welcome to the journey.
I want to wish you a successful new venture, it’s always good to learn from previous ventures.

So happy to hear that you are standing tall. I tell everybody that has decisions to make that when one door closes another opens. Yes, I know it is a corny but I truely believe that opportunity is out there for everyone.
