A bit of bittersweet news...

We started Better Bites Bakery in hopes that it would benefit other families just like ours. Folks just trying to feed their kids fun and safe desserts that actually tasted like the “real thing”. The Austin community has been amazing in supporting our efforts and we have been so blessed to share our desserts with some remarkable families for birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations.
 Helping to lay the foundation for this business has been a dream come true. My heart skips a beat every time I see a little one bite into one of our goodies knowing that they are enjoying food the way little kids should be able to, without worry. Leah and I have poured our time, energy, and hearts into bringing Better Bites Bakery to life over this past year, and I feel proud of what we’ve created. The time has come, though, for me to shift my focus back to my family for awhile. With 3 boys at home (one still a toddler), I feel that they are still needing all of the time and energy that I can give them. So, I will be taking a step back from the business, knowing that it will continue to grow and thrive because of the foundation that we worked so hard to lay and because of the wonderful families who have helped build it.
 Business will continue as usual and, being left in the capable hands of Leah, it will undoubtedly grow and continue to help more and more folks who value the mission that we started with. We are so grateful for the support, prayers, and continued business. We both feel so blessed to have met some amazing folks through this venture.
 And for those of you who wish to stay in contact with me, I would love to hear from you! I will eventually stop checking our business emails, so please shoot me a line at chrystalsmith003@gmail.com . I’ve thought about starting up another blog down the road as a way to stay connected with this great community of folks that we’ve met through Better Bites Bakery, so let me know if you’d like to be added to an email list.
 I cannot adequately express my gratitude in words to all of you who have shared your lives and stories with us. This business has been a blessing in so many ways, but connecting with all of you great folks has been inspiration beyond measure!
 Thank you for letting us share in all of your sweet moments.
 All the best, Chrystal
