Crabucket is a home-based bakery turning out sourdough, laminated pastry, and made-to-order cake — no storefront, no shortcuts, just a home oven and a standing pickup schedule.
Crabucket started the way most cottage bakeries do — one good loaf, shared with too many neighbors to keep up with informally. It's now a licensed home-based operation run out of my kitchen in Aurora, working in small batches so everything that goes out the door is something I'd serve at my own table.
Everything is baked to order on a set weekly schedule, with pickup from the house or from wherever Crabucket is set up that weekend. No mixes, no shortcuts — just butter, flour, and time.
The full menu rotates a little depending on the week and what's in season — here's a taste of what's usually available to order.
Naturally leavened, long fermented, baked in a dutch oven for a dark, crackling crust.
Citrus-soaked cake finished with cream cheese icing and candied clementine slices.
Soft, pull-apart rolls, proofed slow and baked side by side in the pan.
Thick, chewy, dusted with powdered sugar and loaded with dark chocolate.
Alongside pickup orders, Crabucket shows up at a rotating list of neighborhood markets and pop-ups around the Denver metro. Check the calendar for the next one.
