My local bakery has gone bust
👉Turns out they weren't making enough bread 🤣
🍪 Husband Convinces Wife To Share Her Sweet Secret
Imagine waking up on a crisp Colorado morning, craving a warm, gooey cinnamon roll or a rich, from-scratch brownie. For years, Jasmine Smith filled her home with these sweet aromas as a stay-at-home mom. In late 2025, she realized she wanted a passion project of her own. A traditional job simply did not fit her family life. With her husband Xakk cheering her on, she took a leap of faith and transformed her kitchen into a certified cottage bakery.
Today, Chaos Crumble Cottage Bakery creates indulgent, small-batch treats that are unapologetically fun. Picture yourself strolling up to their charming porch stand at 7245 Omaha Blvd in the 80915 neighborhood, greeted by the smell of fresh bread and fluffy donuts. Make sure you check their Facebook page before heading out for when and what is on the shelf.
Jasmine and Xakk pour their hearts into every bite. They also give back to our community by participating in events that provide meals for those experiencing homelessness.
Ready to treat yourself to their new fall menu? You can find their porch stand open on weekends, or guarantee your favorite seasonal treats by placing a preorder. Visit Chaoscrumblebakery.com, email [email protected], or call (719) 367-1039.
You can also meet Jasmine and Xakk in person at these upcoming local events:
Sept 19: Moonlight Market at Acacia Park (4-10:30pm)
Sept 26, Oct 10 & 24: Mayberry Farmers Market, Calhan, CO (10am-2pm)
Oct 2: First Friday Art Walk, downtown COS (5-8pm)
Go find the chaos and support a wonderful local family!
