"Introduction to Pie Crust" with Goodness Graceous Bakery Owner, Grace Brown-Pouncy at Woodbridge General Store

Grace Brown-Pouncy is the owner and sole baker of Goodness Graceous Baking.

Goodness Graceous Baking began in spring 2020 as a way to get freshly baked pastries out to the community. It started with deliveries, but gradually turned focus to popups and porch pickups.

Grace currently juggles cottage baking while being a mama. She loves baking as a way to engage with community and has dreams for how it will grow down the road.

Grace will be teaching us all of the do’s and don’ts about pie crust! Whether you’re a pie expert, or just getting started… you will not want to miss this opportunity to learn and interact with fellow local bakers!
