Our Story
Welcome to Colorado Baker, where passion meets precision in every handcrafted treat. Founded by Natalie Baker—a baker by both name and calling—our story began in 2013 as a labor of love that has grown into something truly special.
Meet Natalie Baker
Passionate • Imaginative • Methodical
For Natalie, baking is both a science and an art. While her married name is Baker, she's the true baker in the family, bringing passion and precision to every creation. Unlike her husband who adds ingredients "by eye" (which definitely doesn't work with baking!), Natalie approaches each recipe with the methodical care that baking demands—because baking is a science, and it's exacting.
A Decade of Delicious Dedication
What started as a hobby in 2013 has grown into a beloved local bakery serving Colorado residents within 25 miles of 80012. Home taste testers have been raving about Natalie's always-tested creations for over a decade. Every recipe on our menu has evolved through trial, error, and most importantly, love.
Natalie's imagination helps her create and bring flavors together, but she goes through careful trial and error to get each recipe just right before customers ever see it on the menu. We have many different offerings because we want our customers to experience the delightful flavors that Natalie's creativity brings to life.
Our Signature Techniques
Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls
Our unique sourdough cinnamon rolls feature a mature starter that's been going strong for over 4 years, creating that distinctive depth of flavor you won't find anywhere else. These aren't your typical sweet rolls—the sourdough base adds complexity that perfectly balances the cinnamon and glaze.
Brown Butter Mastery
We use rich brown butter in all our extra large cookies, creating that deep, nutty flavor that transforms ordinary cookies into extraordinary treats.
The Famous Apple Butter
Our apple butter has been converting skeptics since day one. Even customers who thought they "hated apple butter" have been blown away by our flavor and taste. As one very opinionated taste tester (Natalie's daughter) puts it: "I used to hate apple butter, but now I love the one you make."
Our Philosophy
Every item we bake is handcrafted with care—because we believe quality, taste, and a personal touch turn simple treats into memorable moments. We're not about mass production; we're about made-to-order freshness, artisan techniques, and creating treats that make people smile.
What We Offer
From our scone and muffins to our brown butter cookies, sourdough cinnamon rolls, and famous apple butter, and everything in-between—everything is made fresh to order and ready for pickup within 24 hours.
We proudly serve local Colorado residents, event and corporate clients, and anyone who appreciates the difference that handcrafted quality makes.
