Beachside Bakers 2012

Beachside Bakers 2012
Beachside Bakers was tri-founded in 2010 by Jessica Adam, Sara Adam, and Caitlin Coates in Gloucester, MA. The business started with our love for baking and experimenting in the kitchen. We began baking cupcakes for beach parties and yacht club events as a fun summer job. The following summer, we took our favorite hobby to a higher level and expanded by selling cupcakes at our local Cape Ann Farmers market. We joined a non-profit organization for teen artist entrepreneurs called T.A.G (Teen Artist Guild) in Gloucester, MA which provided us with a table to sell cupcakes at the market. Since 2010, Beachside Bakers has hired new employees, held cupcake decorating classes at the Department of Community Services in Andover, MA, and added several new baked goods to their business. The past few summers have been an incredibly rewarding experience as we have learned how to start a small business. We have had to work with many people from licensing our home for food service, making sure the product is ready for the general public, meeting deadlines, and finding high quality ingredients at an affordable price. This process has been an exciting journey, and our business received a lot of attention. The Gloucester Times frequently highlights us in the local newspaper. This past summer we catered our first party, which was also exciting. 10% of our profit is donated to Cape Ann Art Haven, 10% of our profit is donated to Cape Ann Farmer’s Market, donations are also made to Andover Department of Community Services.

Young Beachside Baker

Brooke Adam is the youngest Beachside Baker. She is always dying to help stir the batter, crack the eggs, and use the food coloring on.. everything. She is the best taste tester and is constantly bonking around the kitchen to help us. She is planning on taking over Beachside Bakers "when she turns six".

Happy Birthday Dasha!!!


Happy Birthday Dasha! I tried a completely new egg white cake batter for these cupcakes. Since the batter was so white, I added neon food coloring and made sweet neon layered cupcakes. The colors separated perfectly. I will definitely be doing more colored batters in the future :)

Woof

We made this black lab with rolled out Tootsie Rolls for the ears. He came out pretty cute. The edible soy ink pen we got comes in handy when adding little details like the line on this puppy's tongue.
