It’s our birthday! That’s right, we’re turning 64, and in our minds, we keep getting better with age. We have had the pleasure of baking all sorts of delicious cakes, breads and sweets for five generations, and we still love it. But most of all we love making memories with you! This has been a long journey and we have seen many sights and experienced quite a lot with you, […]
Have you seen a small blue box in various Jewish homes and businesses and wondered what is it? The box, from the Jewish National Fund, is a Tzedakah box, or a donation jar or box where children (and adults) donate spare change. And in this case, the money eventually is sent to Israel to plant trees. The Jewish holiday, Tu Bishvat, the New Year for Trees (similar to Earth Day), […]
Last month, we celebrated one year of business at our Memorial location and we could not be happier! We are so pleased with our decision to open this location in Memorial, I mean, what’s not to love? This neighborhood has proven to be such a supportive area with a nice mix of residential, medical and business populations, not to mention the shoppers! In our first year at this location on […]

The rodeo has returned to Houston and we at Three Brothers love it! It’s not just a great livestock show, or star-studded music event, but as you hopefully know, there is so much more to do at the nearly month long series, especially if you’re a kid! Fun on the Farm lets kids experience hand-on activities while learning all about what goes into running a farm. From gathering eggs, to […]
As you know, we were “Thinking Pink” throughout October in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. At both Three Brothers locations we sold a variety of pink ribbon baked goods including petit fours, cupcakes and even pink gingerbread men cookies. We donated $1 of each purchase to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This month we also participated in the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure and the […]
October has arrived and it is officially Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Breast Cancer Awareness is a topic near and dear to our hearts here at Three Brothers Bakery, and we are so excited about everything going on this month. Just last week, Cleverly Stone and Ruben Dominguez stopped by so we could show them the ropes on creating the perfect Pink Ribbon Cake out of petit fours! You can watch […]
In the early 1990s I was working at a telecommunications company in Dallas. Someone in our company met Nancy Brinker who had just created a charity called Susan G. Komen, in memory of her sister and with the purpose to wipe out breast cancer. It was a fledgling operation and finally they were moving into an office. Our company donated a phone system, and I was the liaison between our […]
Ralph Lauren’s Olympic uniforms were made in China with a promise next time they will be made in America. My question is where in America? We pushed this industry away from our skilled hands into the hands of those living in other countries. Shuttered sewing factories can be found all over the nation, including San Antonio where my family had a contract sewing factory in the 1990s. (Just a reminder […]
As a breast cancer survivor I wanted to explain why I continue to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Please also note: I am writing this blog post on my own and from my heart. I have no affiliation with the organization except for occasional volunteer and annual walker in Race for the Cure. In the wake of the decision to not support Planned Parenthood and reversal of the […]
