Like, for good.

Although I was a one-woman company for the last 11 years, there are many people who helped make Uptown Soda Bread a delicious success. I truly thank each and every one of you.

To my customers, thank you for supporting Uptown Soda Bread in all the stores, farmers markets, festivals and events. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed meeting you, talking with you and baking your favorite soda breads.

To my friends, thank you for your guidance and opinions, which are baked into every variety I created and market I explored.

To my husband and kids, thank you for letting yourselves get roped into the flurry of activity that a home baking business naturally brings. I appreciate your help more than you know.

And to my grandmother, Mary Slack Collins, for introducing me to the family Irish Soda Bread recipe when I was a kid. It was the foundation for everything I created.

Míle buíochas,
