What started as a solo hobby became something more—something unexpected, grounding, and quietly transformative.

Over the span of a decade, Carly traveled thousands of miles, ran three small businesses across three states, and still showed up—cake in hand—for those she adored. Time was rarely on her side, but perspective and priorities were. Even in exhaustion, she found enough: enough energy to fly, enough heart to show up, and enough intention to make it matter.

In quiet, late-night hours—after flights and time zone shifts—she found renewal. Under warm kitchen lights, with a humming mixer and a full rainbow from primary colors, it all made sense. In those quiet swirls of butter, she rediscovered the beauty of simplicity. A kind of magic that lived in the process.

That sense of belonging in a sentimental space evokes memories meant to be shared. No standard to meet—just nostalgia in frosting and flour. Here, in this sacred space, the idea of SMöR Bake Standard was born.

What began as a solo journey soon evolved into something more—something where talks at the kitchen counter became innovative ideas between husband and wife. Conversations about time, place, and purpose - and redefining success. 

After years of reflection—and a long season of pause—our career paths finally merged. With complementary strengths, diverse professional backgrounds, and a shared desire to create something local, we’re grateful to bring our vision to Peachtree City, Georgia.

Introducing our storefront: SMöR Bake Standard — a space where simplicity speaks, creativity lives, and meaning is found in the everyday. Join us as we celebrate the beauty of slowing down and staying present- because great things don't have to be complicated.

Keep Celebrating,
Carly & Cole
