Summer in Surry, Art + Craft Market

07/21/2026

We know how much you loved Jules Creations - Micro Bakery on Saturday. Here’s how you can get more of her focaccia and other baked goods!

Sorry for a late Menu! Had a successful weekend at Summer in Surry, Art + Craft Market and feeling good about my yummy goodies! ☺️🍓🫐🥖🥧🍪 Let me know if you have any questions!
I do custom order of other things like cakes, cupcakes, donuts, etc. 🧁🍩🎂
I'm trying to keep it fairly simple, but up for a challenge once in a while, so please don't be afraid to ask!😄

Thank you, Sonnie Shepherd, the Town of Surry Maine all our amazing creators for sharing your talents, the Old Surry Village School folks, and our generous Surry/Blue Hill Peninsula/surrounding community attendees for showing up with your smiles, kind feedback, and your support!

See you next year at the 2027 Summer in Surry, Local Art + Craft Market (date TBD)!!! But for now, we are going to take a month-long nap.

A quick, informal poll (from conversations) tells us:
- Our participating vendors all want to come back
- The folks who came were smiling, kind, supportive, and generous.
- Many people saw our content on Facebook and Instagram and shared it with others, followed our page, and the FB event (thank you!)
- Some, on their way to other places (Bar Harbor was most frequently mentioned), turned in/or around when they saw the "Today" sign.
- THIS -> A couple of folks said, "It's nice to see Town of Surry is not just the place you drive through to go somewhere else."

👩‍🍳🎨Do you want a recipe for supreme deliciousness and food art 🖼️ that you can eat with your eyes? Don't miss out! THIS SATURDAY, July 18, from 10-4pm at the Old Surry Village School (7 Toddy Pond Road).

Come taste + see for yourself at the Summer in Surry Local Art + Craft Market with Ciao, by Andrea Updike, our Newbury Neck baker and hostess extraordinaire! 🍪🍥 🍰

🏖️👙Ciao will be bringing sumptuous Maine-inspired treats, including a limited-edition Carrying Place Beach Cookie available only at this event! (More on her tasty treats in our pix!)

🤐 Don't tell Andrea, but we think we have figured out, after five years of scientific study 🔬🍴, the secret ingredients she combines in everything she makes. We will only share with you, our peeps, and dear followers!

- 2 PARTS CULINARY HERITAGE (her mom's recipes, interpreted by Andrea, are evidence of a baking gene) 🧬
- 1 PART FASHION DESIGNER (hardly surprising, but who knew that in the Town of Surry Maine, this lovely lady is designing clothes sold all over the country?)🛍️🛒
- 1 PART GUEST-AND-HOSTESS-WITH-THE MOSTESS (have you seen her famously perfect platters of generously sized Atlantic Almond Cream Cookies around the Neck that cause some to whisper 🤫and others to bellow 📣, "these are better than crumbl!?") Move over crumbl, Ciao down on these instead!
- 2 PARTS CREATIVE + UNCONVENTIONAL (technically this brings us to 5 ingredients, like many recipes we've encountered, but both are equally true. Who else do you know who is a basement roller derby queen 🛼👑, or can tell you where to find the best gas-station cake 🎂, while also being a genuinely supportive human, and baking your 🧦, off?)

OK, we've primed you for what's coming, but it will be even better in person, and "IN YOUR BELLY!"
