We’re so excited for Valentine’s Day tomorrow! Last week we shared Bobby and Janice’s love story but this time we just wanted to share some more photos of some of our sweetest days. We love sharing our memories with you and making new ones. Share your Three Brothers Bakery memories with us on Facebook or Twitter! Bobby and Janice’s wedding photos were taken by Billy Mitchell Photography.
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we thought we’d share a couple of our love stories. If you’ve heard them before bear with us, but really they’re so sweet you can read to them again! Bobby and Janice have a story that starts back in their early teens but doesn’t come to fruition until years later. The two met at a Jewish youth group weekend (BBYO), when Janice was […]
While we’ve been mailing our award-winning pies around the country for some time now, we are thrilled to announce that we will be offering traditional wooden pie boxes, each of which will be individually handcrafted through its partnership with the Woodworker’s Club of Houston and a fantastic charitable organization they support, 2 Xs Toys! The Woodworkers Club of Houston’s seasonal charity program “2 Xs Toys” creates wooden toys for […]
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 […]
Wedding season is upon us and many, especially in the northern, Midwest and eastern U.S. ask what is a Groom’s cake? Just ask a Southerner from the United States to hear about the “must have” of the Southern wedding. “After a century of transformation, the Groom’s cake of today expresses the personality of the Groom,” explained Bobby
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 […]
Could Hamantaschen be going mainstream? According to Bobby Jucker, 5th generation baker and co-owner of Three Brothers Bakery, “Based on our daily sales, I believe the Hamantaschen will take on a life similar to the bagel or ruggelach. In 2011 we sold approximately 35,000.” Hamantaschen, a triangle shaped cookie filled with usually poppy, prune or apricot, and sold in most places only during the Jewish holiday of Purim are found daily at Three Brothers Bakery in none other than Houston, Texas.
Today, we want to salute the amazing people behind these gorgeous items- our very good friends (and really, extended members of the Three Brothers Bakery family) at Celebration Company. Celebration Company is a unique employment program that provides Jewish adults with special needs an entry into the workplace. Celebration Company is a 501(c)3 organization and a part of the JFS Alexander Institute. These amazing people create beautiful Chanukah and Shabbat […]
It is Friday, and I have to take a moment to remember Robin Perlo Berry and her husband, Josh Berry. Robin came to the bakery for a challah every Friday. We began to know each other over our counter and then again professionally as she planned events for our customers’ life cycle events. When someone hired Robin to help with their simcha (happy event), she became a part of the […]
