Score: A Baker fair to celebrate Portland's underground cottage Bakers

After I had spent the best new bakeries in Portland in the past few weeks, I thought I had the current back landscape of Portland and its relatively small, adopting windows and only weekend hours. But then I spoke by phone to Eve Kuttemann, the former chef Castagna and Trifecta, and let the (dough) scales raise from my eyes.

It turns out that there is an entire universe of hut bakers that operate as exciting under the surface, independent microba makers, just as exciting as the big boys. These small company-hoft one-Woman show work without a license under Oregon's home back calculation, which enables people to earn up to $ 50,000, selling pastries, cakes or bread in their houses.

Kuttemann, who now runs the Cottage Bakery Southwind from her apartment in Southeast Portland, is co-founder-with Chefsweekpdx Drew Tyson-von Point: A Baker Fair. The festival, which will play on June 8, will almost collect a dozen microba makers that use elaborate cakes, sourdough bread, emoji perfections animal biscuits and real German pretzels for a donation uptuising in Zenger Farm.

According to Kuttemann, independent bakeries can often take more creative risks than larger outfits, since they can be preliminary online every day in advance and can lack the pressure from investors or a 5-year rental contract.

“Many people see how micro backing-from your house or a commissioner kitchen or the back of a restaurant as a step towards a stationary Mortar,” said Kutteman. “And while this is true for many of them for some of them, this is their ideal baking structure.”

Points: A baker fair will take place on Sunday, June 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Zenger Farm, 11741 SE Foster RD. Entry is 5 US dollars (Children 12 and under free) and includes a competition and free coffee from Proud Mary, with the funds supporting the farm. Individual providers keep the proceeds from sales.
