I am reposting from my past blog. Interestingly this post is really still valid for today. I posted this in 2009 and it applies at the beginning of 2011. Happy New Year! Always the best part of the Retail Bakers convention is the seminars and decorating sessions. Ron Ben-Israel from NYC, gave a short educational seminar about working with lace and some of the trends. This man has such talent […]
As I was making my Christmas image for my newsletter, I decided to make it from all edible items made at the bakery (except background, text and bubbles). I added some of my favorite giftbox cakes, 3D cakes and gingerbread cookies. I even framed it with scrollwork from a Christmas cake. Please remember we’re bakers and not electronic artists. Anyway, one of my favorite “people” in the photo is Santa’s […]
I think every year at Christmas I will post this touching story from last year… I met a very nice lady at the bakery on Christmas Eve who had come for a corn rye for Christmas. When we told her we did not have one, she became very upset. She proclaimed she HAD to have one, for her brother had come in from another state, and they HAD to share […]
At 3 Brothers Bakery we never mind losing a sale to homemade with love. I remember growing up and baking as a gift for my friends and neighbors. If you have small children, be sure to create the memory of baking with them during the holidays – at least once. We have many holiday items, and I’m going to give you some history on a few of them and then […]

We received one with a little Chanukah rock! Great Chanukah video on YouTube – Candlelight – The Maccabeats – Hanukkah Hadassah has a site for virtual Chanukah. You can light the menorah online. Of course […]
(I lost my blog in July, and I have had requests to repost a few of my blogposts. Original posting was October 25, 2009.) Off to the Retail Bakers of America Convention in Charlotte Last week my husband, Bobby, and I went to the Retail Bakers of America National Convention. Perhaps some of you who follow us on Twitter saw some of the pictures I sent of Buddy’s (from The […]
What holiday cake stands 11 inches tall and weighs 23.5 pounds? What cake has an estimated total calorie count of 20,000 calories or 2,000 calories per slice and is not a wedding cake for 300 people? The Pumpecapple piecake of course! Dapper Greg Morago, Food Editor of The Houston Chronicle, called us a few weeks ago and asked if we would fulfill his whim of competing with the Cherpumple piecake […]
Did you know that the state tree of this glorious state of Texas is the pecan tree? The United States produces 80-90 percent of the world’s pecan supply with Texas and Georgia being the largest suppliers. The pecan tree can grow up to one hundred and fifty feet in height, just as the saying goes, “Everything is bigger in Texas.” Three Brothers Bakery of Houston, has become the recent recipient […]
Health and happiness to you and your family! Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is quickly approaching. This is a particularly exciting time for our family here at Three Brothers Bakery, and we are sure it is the same way for your family as well! One of the things we love the best about Rosh Hashanah is how families come together in anticipation of a brand new year. We have […]
