The article highlights the vibrant underground baking scene in Portland, showcasing grassroots bakers like Kir Jensen, who is returning to the industry with her exceptional pies and other baked goods. Many bakers have turned to subscription and pop-up formats to balance work and life commitments. With the help of social media, these bakers attract customers eager for quality treats. Tips are provided for finding these unique offerings, encouraging fans to check updates on platforms like Instagram.
Just like a sourdough starter under a cloth, some of the best baked goods in Portland are bubbling away behind the scenes, out of the spotlight.
I'm inspired by what's seasonal; I appreciate simple/good flavor combinations, I like to let the ingredients do the shining.
Kir Jensen was one of Portland's OG food cart darlings when she opened The Sugar Cube in 2008.
Besides pie drops, Jensen says she'll be doing pop-ups at Milk Glass Market and Side Yard Farm.
