Catering
At Rising Above Bakery, bakers of all abilities bake side by side as equals. We meet each new baker where they are, tailoring the baking environment to their strengths and building from there. Everyone gets hands-on experience from day one.
Everyone who joins us starts with foundational items — granola, simple recipes — getting comfortable in the kitchen as they follow recipes, measure ingredients, and build good safety and hygiene habits. As confidence grows, they move on to more advanced favorites like cookies, sourdough bread, and babka. Along the way, they explore their creativity, try new seasonal recipes, and enjoy the connection that comes from baking together. They also share their own ideas, helping shape our rotating seasonal menu.
We provide modeling and support at all times. Mastering a new recipe brings real pride. Showing up week after week, baking alongside friends, and sharing what you've made with the community builds something deeper — a sense of belonging that goes both ways.
Knead to Rise is open to all. For more information, click here.
