Restaurant News Cottage food businesses ready to serve you for the holidays

Cottage food businesses in Edmonds are gearing up for the holiday season by offering a variety of homemade baked goods. The Cottage Bakery, founded by Conor O’Neill in 2018, started as a small endeavor and has grown into a storefront operation. These businesses operate under a permit from the Washington State Department of Agriculture, allowing for the production of non-hazardous foods from home kitchens. Other notable local businesses include Miss Semi Sweet, which transitioned from a YouTube channel to a cookie company, and Cakes by Frosted, founded by Stephanie, who has a passion for baking. Many of these cottage food operations require advance orders and participate in community pop-up events to reach customers.

The Cottage Bakery gained a loyal following through its Saturday morning sales, showcasing the community's appreciation for local vendors. These businesses not only provide delicious products but also strengthen community ties and support the local economy. As the holiday season approaches, residents are encouraged to explore these local options for their festive needs.
