All About That Bake

The next stop on the tour was the bakery. Bread was part of the standard ration for the soldiers, so all those loaves you see lining the walls represent the amount needed DAILY! In addition to the large ovens, there were HUGE dough troughs. I cannot imagine the amount of dough in one batch, much less working it all by hand! I made bread without using a mixer once. And only once!

This layout is based on a sketch that I saved from October 2021. I don't always think about trimming my photos this small, but I realized my photos would cooperate with this layout. The base page is brick to mimic the brick of the ovens. I recently bought a few sheets of Made with Love (a retired CM paper pack) at a yardsale so I chose the butcher block paper for one of the strips and the black paper for the other strip. The third photo was a trimmed journal mat from that same collection. The embellishments on the left side of the page were from a recent bonus kit called "Baked with Love". I had an extra set since I make so many food pages. At the top of the page is a piece cut from a quilting block. I learned this technique at Farmhouse Memories. I don't often use cloth in my albums, but this flour canister was a good fit for the layout. You use a sticker paper to bind the fabric so that you don't get loose strands when you cut it.
