The Sweet Workings of Milly’s Kitchen Madness & Bakes
Milly’s Story
Founded in summer 2020, Milly’s Kitchen Madness & Bakes was a long time coming.
A hobby baker as long as I can remember, with a family lineage of avid bakers that dates back at least a few generations, I’ve loved equally baked goods, the act of baking, and the act of eating baked goods. My oldest memories are also my fondest ones and they include my Grandma Betty Jo with her hands in pie crust, or my mom baking her blueberry muffins and sour cream coffee cake, or my dad making biscuits with homemade syrup on a Sunday morning. As such, I’m all about the bakes, all the time. So how did Milly’s Kitchen Madness & Bakes become a reality? Read on!
How does it work?
I’m a one-woman kitchen, so Milly’s Kitchen Madness & Bakes affords me creative freedom and the ability to tailor my bakes to meet your desires.
But, how does this whole thing work? Who’s in the kitchen baking all the tasty treats? Do I have a storefront? Where do I deliver? When can you get your hot hands on the tasty bakes? What kinds of bakes can you expect? What about custom bakes? Can you get a dozen scones for your work meeting? You likely have SO many questions for me! Read on for all the answers!

What’s the good word @millyskitchenmadness?
Testimonials from folks who’ve been sampling their way through my sweet menu over the past several months….
Dear 'Milly':
On Friday night I attended a birthday gathering in Stillwater. On the table full of wonderful food choices, were three delicious bars, lemon, pecan and chocolate. I was told they were made by a Stillwater baker called Milly. Your bars were SO good I felt compelled to send an email. The three bars I ate were the best I have ever had in 60 years. I just wish I had milk. :)
I may not need a weekly delivery of calories to my home, but I certainly could use a monthly fix. Congratulations on being the best baker in MN!

“I really took one for the team, and my waistline, during the lockdown. I tried each and every single bake she made, which numbered in the 100’s. She was hell bent on stress baking and making sure we all paid the price. Her cakes are my favorite…I just ate a Blackout Cake for my birthday. O to the M to the G!”
— Mike Helke, Sarah’s husband
“Sarah literally brought me a fresh bake in bed every morning before online schooling during the COVID-19 lockdown. I know she’s my mom, and it’s not cool to say nice things about your mom as a teenager, but damn, she’s an amazing baker. And mom, yo btw like hella impressed that u actually pulled thru on this.”
— Kaspar Lou, Sarah’s oldest son
“How wonderful to have baked goods delivered to your front door, especially when they taste as spectacular as Milly’s! Every scone, cake, bar and bread is a perfect balance of flavor and texture. Hands down, the best I’ve ever had!!”
— Julie, Stillwater, Minnesota
“I’d choose Sarah’s version of Hungarian Shortbread if I ever went rogue and, thus, ended up with one last meal in this earthly lifetime….unless my final meal could include multiple desserts by her.”
— Hallie, colleague and unofficial taster of the bakes
“Being Sarah’s friend and fitness accountability partner these past several months has been both a blessing and a curse. We took our fitness regime to new heights and we also consumed more baked goods than socially acceptable. Our weekly baking challenges were a fun way to keep our kitchen skills sharp during the early days of COVID-19, but Sarah’s incessant, almost daily baking and deliveries of baked goods to my front door started to affect my waistline. I’m excited she’s taking this obsession to the next level—because her bakes are delicious and because I need my pants to fit again!”
— Heather, accountability partner and lead taster of the bakes
“Like I said, I'm not a fan of the traditional dry scone, but the Scuffin was perfect! I especially loved the little crunch of the chocolate drizzle on top. Now, about the brownie...THE BROWNIE! From initial visual inspection, I was expecting something so rich that it might be too rich, but this was not the case. The balance of the ingredients was superb! The mouthfeel was silky and light, and the sea salt was not overpowering... perfectly balanced. Anne and I were comparing notes as we nibbled the brownie, and we both had physical chills while eating it. I almost cried. Honest. You are a baking genius!”
— Dan, long-time neighbor friend
“Sarah at Milly’s Kitchen Madness & Bakes is a true pastry magician! Prior to having her scones, it wasn’t my go-to pastry of choice, but hers are amazing! They’re moist & full of rich flavor! The lemon scones are by far my favorite!”
— Brandon, Vice President, Candyland, Stillwater, Minnesota
As my knitting team traveled from, Stillwater to White Bear Lake to Hastings to St Paul to Mpls to Mtka to Wayzata and the to NE your creations were savored! Yum and then again, Yum. I asked you about freezing them but I only have this Bailey baby left and it’s on my breakfast menu today. Thank you again, love you. Ps. The knitters are now announcing having Milly’s for our road trips is our new tradition.
— Nancy, dear friend from my past life
You all seriously have to check her out for her baked goodies and cakes, everything we have gotten from her is absolutely delicious not to mention beautiful, she nailed what my daughter wanted spot on and not only that, she went out of her way to help me last minute for two separate occasions, you will not be disappointed with anything you get from her, plus you are helping a local business! Thanks again Milly, you made my teenager very happy and all of our belly’s as well👌🎂💕
— Nicole, repeat customer
I busted a cookie snatcher!
These are sooo good! I love them!
Also the teachers loved them! My favorite comment was when one guy took a bite and turned around and said “you said we can have two each!” Implying that it might not be enough😂.
Thanks again and I look forward to the next batch!
