About the book and the series
Our story doesn’t end at the bakery doors. In hope of keeping many of your tradition alive, I (Rick) am writing The Sky River Bakery Cookbook Series is a four-part journey through the recipes, traditions, and love that defined our little bakery in Monroe.
We begin with Volume 1: Cookies & Bars—because that’s where the magic (and the Pink Cookies) started. Inside, you’ll find our most-loved recipes scaled down from bulk bakery batches to home-friendly versions. After plenty of trial and error, each one has been refined so you can bake them with confidence. Along the way, Rick’s Tips are sprinkled throughout to guide you and add that Sky River touch.
But that’s just the start. Future volumes will bring even more of the bakery to your kitchen:
-
Volume 2: Breakfast — Biscuits, muffins, scones, and breakfast favorites
-
Volume 3: Cakes & Desserts — layer cakes, cheesecakes, and pies
-
Volume 4: Holiday Specials — Festive treats and Seasonal Tradition
Together, the series preserves the spirit of Sky River Bakery—baking from scratch, sharing with love, and spreading a little sweetness from Monroe to kitchens everywhere.

Our Mission
Baking with love, welcoming with pride
We believe in the power of good food to bring people together. Our mission is to carry on Sky River Bakery’s legacy through recipes, stories, and traditions that feel like home—comforting, delicious, and always made with care.
What began as a small-town bakery has grown into something bigger: a way to share our love of scratch-made baking with people near and far. Through our cookbook series (and future projects), we’re keeping that spirit alive—so every kitchen can have a taste of what made Sky River Bakery special.
More than just recipes, this is about inclusivity, kindness, and community—a belief that everyone belongs at the table. We’re here to make life a little sweeter, one recipe at a time.
