👩‍🍳 Why This Local Baker Wants You To Make Mistakes

🍜 Inside the cozy kitchen where imperfect moments become perfect memories

In a world of perfectly styled Instagram bread photos, Kam Fletcher stands apart. As The Haphazard Sourdough Baker, she's made every mistake possible—and that's precisely what makes her Colorado Springs' most approachable baking instructor.

Drawing from her years in Switzerland and inspiration from her professional baker son, Kam transformed her pandemic pivot into a thriving business that's taught over 700 people, ages 3 to 93, the art of sourdough baking. Her philosophy? Embrace imperfection and have fun with the process.

"I couldn't imagine being alone in a kitchen all day making bread to sell," Kam smiles. "Teaching allows me to create community while sharing something that's both healthy and joyful." Her classes, ranging from basic loaves to creative options like sourdough pop-tarts, take place in homes across Colorado Springs, making the experience personalized and comfortable.

What sets Kam's approach apart is her focus on simplicity. Using just four ingredients and straightforward techniques, she demystifies the ancient art of sourdough baking. Her classes have become multi-generational affairs, with families creating memories while learning together. 

Corporate teams have also discovered her workshops as unique bonding experiences, and children's birthday parties transform into delicious adventures.

The magic extends beyond class time—Kam provides ongoing support to ensure success at home. "When people realize they can make beautiful, healthy bread without fancy equipment or rigid rules, it changes their relationship with food," she says with a humble nature.

Ready to discover the joy of imperfect baking? 

Classes range from $40-55, and you can find Kam at HaphazardSourdough.com, Facebook, or email [email protected].

Your kitchen's about to become a lot more interesting—mistakes and all!
