The Pioneer Friday Night Thought: Every day since our doors opened last week, our days are so blessed. This week, we welcomed some of the most beautiful, fun team members to our house and having them there, it became our home.... We also were fortunate to be selected for the incredible Tim Ezell FOX 2 and his team to celebrate National Dessert Day. Unbeknownst to us, he sent this message to all of St. Louis after our visit. Let’s take his advice and be the dessert in someone’s life. https://youtu.be/h76JIZUU-cI #pioneerbakerycafe #bakingnewbeginnings #bethedessertinsomeoneslife

Wow! We love the support and shout out from one of the greatest St. Louis pioneers in enabling and empowering. #pujolsfamilyfoundation #AlbertPujols #pioneerbakerycafe #bakingnewbeginnings

As we end this week, we took a moment this evening to welcome the trainees and their families with a meet-and-greet. How energizing and exciting it was for all of us planning this moment for months. Next week we begin baking new beginnings. #pioneerbakerycafe #bakingnewbeginnings #lafayetteindustries #mcarthursbakery... #letthefunbegin #wehaveagreatteam See more
