Panettone has its origins in 15th century Milan. It is synonymous in Italy with Christmas. The re...

I recently had a lovely road trip to the country with my mom and dad. We went to visit my Aunt Sa...

I’m freshly returned from Vancouver with renewed energy and enthusiasm. A change is as good as a holiday, but a holiday is still the best! 

My mom and I had a great time at the Bakery Showcase in stunning Vancouver. From the Women in Baking Panel, to the Baker’s Association of Canada Dinner Cruise, to visiting, dining and walking with old friends and family, it was a super fun adventure all around. Not to mention the supportive feeling of the baking community who have so much knowledge to share.

I have many learning from the event and I plan to apply them and hopefully build a better and more sustainable business.

When every March rolled by, I would see an advertisement for the International Pizza Expo in Vegas. I always wanted to attend, but I could never make it work. This year, I made it work!! I even dragged along my husband, my two brothers and their partners and it was totally worth it!

We're still riding high from our last pizza party, Big Night for Pizza Lovers! We wanted to make sure we shared Tracey's thoughts about the event and include some pictures of all the fun we had! We'll be announcing our next event soon, so make sure to stay tuned...

On Monday, Leisha Grebinski from CBC Radio came to the bakery record and broadcast her Saskatoon Morning show! It was a joy to have her and the crew in the bakery. We talked about the joy of baking and, of course, shared some croissants!

When the calendar rolls around to January and a new year, I look forward to mapping out the next year of my life.

What are my new goals?
What are my plans for fun and fulfillment
What changes are on the way?

What a year it has been! When I take a moment to look back and recognize the accomplishments of 2...

Tracey has a little holiday message to share with you!

Baking obviously runs in the family. Blair and Tracey took over the family business from their parents and have continued the tradition of bringing world class baking to Saskatoon. In honour of Father's Day, Tracey gave a little insight into her father's history with baking. No secret recipes were shared...

With the final episode of Wall of Bakers approaching, I’ve been able to take some time to reflect on what an amazing experience it was to be a part of the inaugural season of Wall of Bakers on The Food Network Canada.

Tracey wrote an article for Eat North, documenting the local Saskatoon spots she goes to for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Check it out!

My mother has so many wonderful characteristics, but today I would like to recognize her as an excellent entrepreneur.

For most people, the traditions around the holidays involve having family together for dinners and gatherings. For me and my family, our traditions include working long hours together making special seasonal products for our lovely customers and our own family. 

Making Panettone is a loving and personal process. In the beginning of November, I brought to life my very special “Italian sourdough” which is cultured specifically for Panettone. This year, I named her “Ingrid”. She will be on a consistent and frequent feeding schedule throughout the holiday season, gotta keep her healthy!

One of our lovely staff members, Zarish, asked me to participate in a short film for a class project. We talked through some of the history of my family and the bakery, as well as what this last year (and a bit) has been like for us at the bakery. I hope you give it a watch. Zarish did a wonderful job!

Maintaining a healthy sourdough culture comes with a responsibility to care and nurture it throughout its’ life. My sourdough culture has been with me for over 20 years. It is a living organism that needs to be consistently fed and cared for.

Today, I made some lovely Margherita  and Calabrese Pizza at Il Secondo and Trent made a wonderful Vegetable Wild Rice with Lemon and Thyme soup at Scratch Provisions. We put them together and had the perfect supper.

If you live in Saskatoon, you’ve likely heard of Christies Mayfair Bakery. If you haven’t, you’re missing out on some of the best bread and pastries in Saskatchewan. Christies is a Saskatoon institution, making bread, cinnamon buns, and artisan sourdoughs for nearly a century. We had a chance to talk with one of the co-owners, Tracey Muzzolini, during a break while she was making fruit cake during the Christmas season. We talked about family recipes and what it’s like running a family business and what goes into working alongside your family for so long.
