Four years ago, when she did the baking for her friend's wedding, Christina Yurasits decided to pursue her dream of Blended Bakery. While Yurasits is the primary baker, her entire family is involved, and is the inspiration behind the business's name. “My husband and I married five years ago, and we blended together a family of six—he with two beautiful daughters and myself with the same. This gave us ‘Blended,'” she says.
Blended Bakery is entirely inclusive, offering gluten-free and vegan options while also being a 100 percent tree-nut-free bakery. “Blended Bakery supports local farms with purchasing fresh fruit while in season, as well as vendors nestled in Carbon County. Our coffee is roasted right next door in Jim Thorpe; our hot tea is organically grown and hand-blended in Berks County,” says Yurasits. The bakery's signature item is the Perishing Donut, a personal sticky bun that is fried and offered in four mouthwatering versions, smothered in a variety of jams and icing.
