We have an amazing team of human beings and wanted to help you get to know them more!

If you've visited our Mayfair location, you know Chelsea and Chloe! These two gals are a dose of sunshine and always make our days brighter. We’re lucky to have them on our team!

Bread baking is a beautiful art that requires a lot of hard work, training and patience to perfect. We thought it would be fun to have Tracey drop some knowledge about the ins and outs of baking every once in a while! This week she talked about scoring!

We have an amazing team of human beings and wanted to help you get to know them more! We're starting with two of our managers, Kathy and Zarish. Read on to get to know the people that bring you the best baking in the city!

Our Sweet Goodness partner is Foundations Learning & Skills Saskatchewan! We wanted to give them an opportunity to share a little about themselves. For more information, you can head to their website to learn more!

The dog days of Summer are coming to an end and it’s time to close out the season like a champion...

During our 90th birthday celebration, we were able to talk to so many friends from nearly a century of baking. One of our former employees, Reba, offered to share some thoughts on her time working with us! From baking to making pizzas to delivering bread, she did it all. It was great to see you Reba, and thanks for sharing with us!

Keeping it simple is what Summer should be about! Have you ever gone on a Summer holiday and plan...

Our Sweet Goodness partner for July is STR8UP Saskatoon. They assist individuals in mastering their own destiny and liberating themselves from gangs, addictions, and criminal street lifestyles. 

We wanted to give them an opportunity to raise awareness about any of their different programs, and they asked to talk about their Transitional Housing, Little Steps.

We received a letter from David Cross, who used to be the principal at Mayfair School. We have always tried to give back to the community, and he reminded us of one of the first ways we did just that! We are proud to continue partnering with local schools and organizations through our Sweet Goodness program.

Thanks for the letter David!

Gabe wasn't able to make it to Saskatoon for our 90th birthday celebration, so he wrote a poem to contribute to the festivities!

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...

Our Sweet Goodness partner for June is OUTSaskatoon, Saskatoon’s 2SLGBTQ+ community centre. We thought it would be great to see if there was anything they’d like to raise awareness about, and they asked to talk about their Trans Care Fund and counselling services. 

Pat Homenick sent us a little story that we wanted to share with you! If you have a story or memory from the last 90 years you’d like to share please email us at stories@christiesbakery.com!

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.

We have a lovely memory from Deb Parker-Loewen that we wanted to share with you! If you have a st...

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.

We received another hand written letter and we wanted to share the kind words with you. We are so lucky and grateful to have such great customers that continue to support us. After 90 years we’ve seen so many faces, so if you have a story you’d like to share please email us at stories@christiesbakery.com!

Since I’ve moved away from Saskatoon, it has been a year of firsts. And with Easter having come and gone, this was the first year I didn’t help prepare the baking for Easter weekend. While I don’t necessarily miss shaping and bagging hundreds and hundreds of buns, there was a part of me missing being with my family doing the one thing we do best. As a way of (emotionally) making up for my absence in the bakery, I wanted to take a moment to praise Blair and Tracey for all the amazing work they do. I know they don’t often brag about what they do, so I’ll gladly do it for them!

We're happy to say we have a celebrity for a boss! Tracey is on the premiere season of Wall of B...

As you know, we're turning 90 this year. As part of our celebration, we're sharing memories of the bakery from family, friends, staff and our wonderful customers.

Our bakery on 33rd Street, what we call The Mothership, has seen a lot over 90 years: hundreds of staff, millions of baked goods, and countless happy customers. For those who haven't been around since the beginning, myself included, here's a look at how Christies has changed over the years!

Naomi worked for us over 10 years ago and came back to work a couple of years back. She's going to have a baby soon, but she couldn't leave without saying a couple words!

This week Jen, one of our amazing team members (you may have seen her on Broadway), shared a family memory we wanted to pass on to you.

Happy New Year!

I hope you’re all staying safe and enjoying the holidays. 2022 kicked off yesterday, and in the theme of a new year, I thought I’d participate in the annual tradition of making (and hopefully keeping) new year's resolutions. With that in mind, here are some of our resolutions for the new year.

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!

We had a little costume contest this week and thought we’d let you see what everyone dressed up a...

It’s probably safe to say that we all never seem to have enough time in the day. I’m merely working a job and going to school, some of us are doing that plus a second job. Then there’s all the parents having to do everything AND raise a family. I often find myself getting ready to eat dinner later and later, and by 10:00 I don’t really have enough energy to make a nice meal, nor do I have the time. Luckily for me, all students, and busy parents our Heat & Eat collection of products make it easy to make delicious, restaurant quality meals in a matter of minutes! 

Using our Heat & Eat pizzas and a handful of other ingredients I can guarantee you a nice dinner or lunch in only five minutes! We’ll be making a caprese salad to go along with the Heat & Eat Pizza of your choice. To be able to start cooking and eating in five minutes I’m going with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette rather than a glaze or reduction.

Last week my parents were in town. It was the first time I was able to see them in over a year and a half, besides a virtual chat of course. Obviously I love when I get to see my parents because it means that there will be food and drinks aplenty. And yes spending time with them,  catching up, and doing all the things parents and children do. But from day one to the last day of their trip, lunches, dinners, and get togethers were planned. Between the going out and homemade meals, it was abundantly clear how deep the tie between my family and food is.

You may know how linked we are to bread and baking (it has been our business for over 50 years after all), but I thought I’d share more about our family and our connection to food. Please forgive me for getting sentimental!

As you may know, our Heat & Eat Pizzas are the best way to get an authentic, Napoletana style pizza at home. If you didn’t, well now you do! If one sentence wasn’t enough to convince you it’s a good thing I came up with a list to tell you just how great our pizzas are, and why you should not just try one, but incorporate them into your diet! 

There are countless organizations in Saskatoon providing valuable services to communities in need. The Okihtcitawak Patrol Group is one of those organizations. They are an indigenous led group that provides community support in the Pleasant Hill and Riversdale areas. I spoke with Delano earlier this week and learned more about their efforts and how the last year has gone.

A grilled cheese is probably the simplest sandwich one can make. Even the name is just two words! But like most things in life, the simplest ones tend to be the best. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure your grilled cheese is just as tasty as mine is, but if you include one or more of these tips you can take your grilled cheese game to the next level!
