Join fellow RBA members for an afternoon of learning, hands-on experience, and networking at Cold Spring Bakery!
Event Highlights:
- Borders to Buds: Back to the Basics Decorating Demo with Gail Kollman, or Tour Cold Spring Bakery with Head Baker Andria Schurman. Cold Spring Bakery is a full-line retail and wholesale bakery with two retail locations and four delivery routes.
- Show & Tell — We are including one of the most popular sessions from past RBA events. Bring a product or idea to share. It can be a product, tool, or ingredient that is working in your bakery operation.
- The Business of Baking — Choose from a practical discussion on Pricing and Profitability in an Uncertain World or a fun session on Low-Cost or Free Marketing Strategies That Work (with examples of ones that didn't work).
- Networking Reception — Connect with regional bakery owners over drinks and snacks.
Dale and Lynn Schurman, owners of Cold Spring Bakery, have created a welcoming space for Minnesota's baking community. With deep roots in the local bakery world, the Schurman family understands what independent bakery owners need: practical knowledge, genuine connections, and takeaways that improve daily operations.
Whether you're looking to refine your decorating skills, solve common business challenges, or simply connect with others who understand the unique demands of running a retail bakery, this gathering provides multiple opportunities to gain value from your time.
Light refreshments will be served during the networking reception. Registration is required. Limited spots available.
Cost: $30 per person | $30 for members' guests | $100 for non-members
