Vote for Renata's Tasty Bites as the 2016 Howard County's Best Bakery! Join Renata's Tasty Bites Write-In Campaign!

Dear Friends,

I've always dreamed one day of owning my own bakery and now that my dream has become a reality, many of my customers are telling me that my bakery should be named Howard County's Best in 2016! 

However, for an unknown reason, Renata's Tasty Bites did not make the the official ballot in Howard Magazine. But ... we are told we could still win through a "write-in campaign!"  So, waste no time ... Help us win the title of Howard County's Best Bakery, and write us in!

The contest began June 2, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. ET and ends June 30, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. ET... There are less than 12 days to vote (as of June 18th, the date I'm writing this note).

To write-in "Renata's Tasty Bites" click here, scroll down to "3. Best bakery?", click on the words "Write-in" and then write us in as Renata's Tasty Bites.

Many thanks to all of you for writing us in as your favorite bakery in Howard County, making us one of Howard County's Best in 2016!

Very truly yours,
Renata Alanovic

Renata's Tasty Bites is Growing with Wonderful Community Support!

 Dear Friends,

It's been a busy three months since we opened on August 1!  We are truly thankful to have such a wonderful community who have embraced us and our European Handmade Pastries, Cookies and Cakes!

Recently we have welcomed our new team member, Madeleine. For the first time since starting this business I have let someone else completely decorate birthday cakes. I think Madeleine did a great job. My other great employee, Abla, has taken over the savory side of my dishes and practicing on decorating cakes as well. Maybe soon I can take vacation(?)!

We've finished up our farmers' market season today at the Miller Library.  Now it's time for us to concentrate on the holiday season!  When you plan that next gathering, please think of something special and devine, think of Renata's Tasty Bites. Order something sweet or savory, or  a mixture of both!

One last note... for your convenience, Renata's Tasty Bites has extended our bakery hours on Thursdays!

  • Saturday: 8:00 am - 3:00 pm

Renata's Tasty Bites - A Grand "Grand Opening!!!"

9/12/2015

0 Comments

 
Dear Friends,

We have just finished up for today.

This past two days have been unbelievable for us. I feel like a celebrity. My interview with Howard County Times' Amanda Yeager was in all local newspapers, we had a visit from Howard County Executive Mr. Allan Kittleman for ribbon cutting ceremony, Maryland Public Television's Yolanda Vazquez chose our business for a filming segment for their show "Your Money & Business" and we had many, many customers visiting us.
So many of them showed up with a cut-out page of my story from Columbia flyer. And, best of all,  we were sold out on almost every item in the store. What that means is: I will be having my baking startup tomorrow even earlier than usual!!!
We are loving this moment and enjoying all of the attention.

Special thanks to all our friends and employees for helping and working all those long hours with us .

Thank you all so much for coming and supporting us and we hope to see you soon!

Very truly yours,

Renata Alanovic

Renata's Tasty Bites - A Dream Come True!

Dear Friends,

This week has been amazing and my dream has come true!

Everything came together for us at Renata's Tasty Bites on our opening day, last Saturday, August 1!  As we were making our finishing touches to our bakery, the community stopped in to wish us well and to take part in our "soft opening."

Someone asked me if I knew how many hugs I received last Saturday. I don't, but it was many of them and I loved each of them.  Thank you so much for coming and visiting us.  The biggest thank you is to my husband who has been supporting me all the way and having many sleepless nights to make my dream come true.  I also want to thank all of my employees and friends who made our opening day special - Gabrielle, Alba, Alex, Anita, Christa, Vivian, Tammy and Alice.

We invite everyone  to come by to see us at Renata's Tasty Bites, where you can experience life's simple pleasures - our sweet and savory European Pastries, Cookies, Cakes - and have a cup of locally roasted coffee from The Cosmic Bean!  Be sure to pick up a frequent customer card too ... If you buy 5 cups of coffee, you get the sixth one free!

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and when you're visiting us, let us know (and others) how we did on Yelp!

We look forward to seeing you soon!


Very truly yours,

Renata Alanovic
