Our Story...
Oh, where does a story begin? The first crack of a hammer on nail through out a hollow old building or the first spark of an inspiration’s birth in a grey dreary place? For me, the story begins a long long time ago under the warm summer sun. Where the breeze blew threw the open window screens and the fresh smell of chocolate chip cookies lured us in from playing in the woods, far off the main road and far off from any worries. A little plot of land in the middle of nowhere. That, is where it all begins for me at least.
Baking was always something we did as parents, as kids, and as family and and as friends here in Sweet Rose Bakeshop. When the ground was soaked and the sky was dark, a cup of milk and a snickerdoodle was our indoor escape. When the air was cold and the winds howled with shards of ice, a hot chocolate and a slice of butter cake was our warm blankets around the wood stove. Mind you, it wasn’t just our sweet tooth for delectable desserts that lead us or even got us here in Purcellville, Virginia. It was the long trek through hard times, tiring days of do-it-yourself projects, and cold mind numbing corporate retail jobs that wore down and refined our dreams into an escape for anyone and everyone from the struggles of our times. Because we are here to bring a smile to your day, and our story is about your story. Your story that you can smile and tell your kids and your grand kids and your friends and family, because at the end of a long day, who is anyone to tell you that you don’t deserve a little something to brighten your everyday just a little more? Keep your day Fantastic as always Purcellville! You deserve it after all.
