From Family Baking to Community Favorite

The Rise of CarbQueen Sourdough in Dripping Springs

What intrigued me most about sourdough was diving into a world where science meets art, where every loaf is a potential masterpiece. From nurturing your own wild yeast starter to perfecting that crispy crust and beautiful crumb, sourdough baking is on trend for all the right reasons.

Transitioning from baking for family to launching my CarbQueen micro bakery marked a journey fueled by passion. With my husband Austin’s support, CarbQueen flourished from a dream into a successful small business.

Running a bakery while raising four children presents challenges but also profound fulfillment. My kids learn diligence and perseverance amidst the comforting aroma of fresh bread and cinnamon rolls, and they eagerly assist at the bustling Farmers Market in Dripping Springs every Wednesday.

From porch pick-ups to social media shoutouts and Farmers Market success, Dripping Springs’ tight-knit community propels businesses like mine. It’s more than a place; it’s a familial bond where neighbors become friends and customers turn into advocates. Thank you, Dripping Springs, for embracing my organic, fresh bread every week.
