“If it’s dessert, I’ll make it,” Vasquez said.
Vasquez opened The Flour Shop Bakery about 10 years ago in Highland Village before moving the shop to Flower Mound. Despite the move, she still has customers who walked through the doors that first opening day, she said.
“The community has been really great to us,” she said. “They are the reason we’re here.”
Vasquez grew up baking with her mother when she was a kid, and it was her mother who recommended she attend culinary school, she said.
Her love for baking, Vasquez believes, stems from her picky eating habits. Baking sweets allowed Vasquez to enjoy the kitchen.
Part of the goal for Vasquez was to create a traditional bakery of sorts. She wanted a place where people could walk in and see cases filled with sweet treats of all shapes and sizes. She also wanted to offer variety, she said.
The bakery offers a number of treats, including pies, cupcakes, bars, brownies, cakes, cookies, creme brulee, cream puffs and eclairs. Though, Vasquez said she will bake just about anything. Inside The Flour Shop Bakery, the smell of cinnamon and sugar fill the room. Seating is available throughout the bakery with signs that say “love at first bite,” and golden whisks hang on the walls.
“I will never do anything else,” Vasquez said.
