Our story

Hi! I am Anna Paulsen owner of Lily & Sparrow Bakery, a licensed home bakery. Baking has always been a part of my life. When I was little, I would help my mom bake chocolate chip cookies and was in the kitchen quite a lot. Not much has changed, as I still spend a lot of my free time in the kitchen baking chocolate chip cookies (using the same recipe) or trying new things. In the spring of 2021, I graduated from Saint Paul College with an advanced pastry and baking certificate. I loved baking new things and expanding my skills during this one-year program. After graduation, a friend asked me to make cake pops for her grad party. I accepted the challenge, and my business was born!

Come find me at the White Bear Lake farmers market all summer long! Friday mornings beginning in June.

“Anna provided the most lovely, delicious cupcakes for a bridal shower. The process of ordering was easy, and I appreciated the flavor recommendations and available combinations. Even people who don’t like cupcakes loved these!!! I highly recommend working with Anna!”
