About the bakery

Hi, I'm Laura.

I have always loved finding unique bakeries that offer really special pastries — and I couldn't find those things locally. So I started my own bakery. Local, unique, specialty baked goods are here.

Why Proof 34 exists

It's all about you and your loved ones

Really good homemade baked goods can bring us so much joy. I love biting into a delicious pastry and being amazed at the flavors and textures — finding something you've never had before, or a bake that brings you back to your childhood.

I want to give you these opportunities: to crave these unique bakes, and to treat yourself and your loved ones any time you want. Both classic and gluten free options, baked fresh with high quality ingredients.

Many people around here have trouble finding delicious gluten free options, and nobody should have to drive out of town for a really good pastry. That's the gap Proof 34 fills.

A licensed home bakery

I operate my licensed kitchen out of my home, so there's no storefront. Every order is a scheduled pickup in Oldenburg — or occasionally delivery. The exact address is shared once you order.

What I don't bake

Knowing what a bakery doesn't do is as useful as knowing what it does. If one of these is what you're after, another local baker will serve you better.

Elaborate wedding cakes

Custom wedding cakes aren't my area of expertise. But if my bakes happen to align with your vision, I'll gladly bake for your wedding. I don't add extras like flowers or toppers — you'd source those yourself. Tiered cakes are worth a conversation.

Themed & novelty cakes

I prefer to decorate with simple, natural things — chocolate curls, nuts and fruit. I don't use dyes or fondant, so themed cakes are best left to a baker who specializes in them.

Strict allergy-free bakes

I offer several gluten free and dairy free items, but they're prepared in the same kitchen as my other baked goods. I keep my gluten free utensils strictly separate and take great care — but I can't guarantee allergen-free.

Gluten free, done properly

What's actually in the GF bakes

Every gluten free item is built on blends of certified gluten free ingredients — no shortcuts, no mystery mixes:

White rice flourBrown rice flourPotato flour Millet flourChickpea flourSorghum flour Tapioca starchXanthan & guar gum

Gluten free baking utensils are kept strictly separate in the kitchen. Because other bakes are prepared there too, please read the disclaimer before ordering if you have celiac disease or a severe allergy.
