Our Story

Take a step back to a simpler time. A time where bread and pastries were thoughtfully made by hand. Where you could enjoy the slow rhythm of a day baking and sharing what you created with those you love.

Dogwood Cottage Baking began in a small cottage kitchen in Alexander, NC where recipes were developed, classes were taught and the honeybees were tended to with love and care. After several years of teaching, baking for local markets and operating a retail bakery, Amanda knew the time was right to open an official baking school. Dogwood Cottage is designed specifically for you, the home baker.

Dogwood Cottage teaches you professional techniques so that you may grow in your baking skills without the need for professional schooling. You will become a part of the baking community and have fun all along the way.

We look forward to baking with you!
