About Gretchen
I’ve always baked and dreamed for years of owning my own bakery whose mission would be to bring joy to others’ lives through sugar. After my aunt passed away unexpectedly, I wanted to spend more time with my daughters and do what I loved. So, I left my corporate job, we renovated my Ballard home's basement into a commercial kitchen and realized that dream – opening grettie’s goodies.
We are a family owned, woman run and people focused business. grettie's goodies aims to be your community baking school. We encourage experimenting freely while you build your confidence in the kitchen. Many of our cookies and cakes are named after friends and family. The Erin, for my older sister who encouraged me on this journey be recommending I add oatmeal to my chocolate chip cookies. The Mada, named for my older daughter who spent hours searching with me for a perfect chocolate crinkle and inspired the one we make now. The Ellie, for my younger daughter who requests the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie on a daily basis. We use all these recipes and many more in our classes, parties and camps.
​
We look forward to bringing you and your family joy through sugar, community and fun.
