🧁 From Kitchen Therapy To Thriving Bakery: A Tale of Sweet Resilience

🍰 Taste the love in every bite: Home-baked treats from Light of Mine Bakery

When life handed Kelsey Knowles difficult moments in 2021, she found solace in her kitchen. Starting with apple pie filling cinnamon rolls that delighted her family, Kelsey discovered that baking could transform challenging times into something sweet. Today, her home-based bakery in Peyton carries a name deeply rooted in love – her daughter's name means "donor of light," inspiring the thoughtfully chosen Light of Mine Bakery.

This Georgia native turned Colorado baker carries forward the legacy of two influential women: a grandmother whose kitchen wisdom sparked her early love of baking, and a godmother who taught her to find beauty in life's simple moments. These influences shine through in every creation, from her signature strawberry-lavender jam to caramelized banana bread studded with hearty nuts.

When Kelsey became a mother, her commitment to wholesome ingredients deepened. The same care she put into crafting organic baby food now goes into every loaf, scone, and treat she creates. Her three-year-old daughter, now her devoted kitchen assistant, carefully seasons the popular sourdough crackers and declares them exclusively hers – a testament to their irresistible appeal.

Each week, Kelsey delivers fresh-baked comfort throughout Colorado Springs, Black Forest, and Fountain. Her rotating menu features unexpected delights like cinnamon-roll-filled scones and artisanal breads, while custom cakes celebrate life's precious moments. Every creation reflects her belief that sharing food is sharing love.

Find these handcrafted treats at Front Street Market in Peyton or arrange for local delivery. Special orders welcome.
