JB 49 has finally made it to the kitchen! Second month is awesome because it means the homework gets two days to do it (if your time management is up to par) and the students don’t have the long hours of sitting in the classroom! In the Kitchen: The first day is always a lot. […]
Well, hello there stranger! It has been awhile! Glad to see you stop by! Today I would like to highlight one of our success stories from the past year-you may remember her from JB 45: Nikki! What brought you to Just Bakery? I wasn’t on a good path in life and need to change my […]
JB 47 was introduced to the kitchen this week! Here’s Miles to fill us in on what they have done so far: “First week in the kitchen! We’ve made it this far. David and I have been happy to get into the kitchen for a couple days and have been getting a good feel for […]
It’s been so long!! But we are happy to be back in action after some much needed rest after the wonderfully busy holiday season. Our staff and JB 45 are back in the kitchen; recharged and ready for your orders! New this year will be our Cookie of the Month program, so be watching for […]

With the governor’s order a couple weeks ago, Just Bakery needed to do some more adaptation. We did not want to risk the health and safety of our staff and students, so paused our in person kitchen instruction portion and have been working on keeping the students engaged virtually until January. Here is Amy to […]
November has me thinking about gratitude. I guess because Thanksgiving is right around the corner and in “normal times”, many people spend the holiday with their loved ones, eat way too much, and are “Grateful”. Or at least, that’s what I think is the reason behind Thanksgiving; we give thanks, right? However, this year has […]
“Moving into week 6 at Just Bakery, we started out as usual with some Bakers’ Math. In this unit we use real recipes and find the total weight of it. We also practiced figuring out order forms and how to decide how much product we needed to make based on what we had in stock. […]
“As JB 45 continues to learn more about and study Baker’s Math, Servsafe, and Nutrition, we were really excited to start rolling in the dough and getting our hands dirty this week in the kitchen. Well, “dirty” in a Servsafe sort of fashion: practicing sanitation and social distancing! Monday we met on zoom as usual […]
Today marks the end of Week 4 which means the students finally get started in the kitchen next week! They’ve worked really hard this last month, and now it is time for the real fun (and physical work) to begin. This week was quite eventful as we get ready to split our weeks. They made […]
The mission of JustDane has always been to inspire hope and create change at the individual level and community level. JustDane would not be where it is today without the wonderful people who participate in, and give life to, its programs. Tyrees Scott is one of these people. He is the embodiment of hope, change, and perseverance. Born in Chicago and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, Tyrees dealt with struggles while growing up, and as a young man he was incarcerated. Despite tribulations after his release from prison, Tyrees decided it was time to change his life around. He made a promise to himself that he would not end up incarcerated again, and he has lived up to exactly that.
