This gem of a woman starts her next
chapter today! šļøplease join me in wishing Madrid the warmest farewell from the butter fam. This was her last week at Butter& (and the last week of her final flavor, Blueberry + Matcha). Madrid has spent her last 6 years at Butter&, working so hard to serve our amazing customers and team. If youāve enjoyed any of our cakes the last few years, you have Madrid to thank. From quarantine cake maker to partner, general manager, and head chef ā youāve grown so much in your tenure. Not many can do what youāve done.
On a personal note, without Madrid at the helm of b&, I wouldnāt have been able to start Pastel (rip), recover from major burnout, have a baby, and heal from a pretty rough post partum journey. Anyone who knows anything about running a small independent business (as a new mom to boot) knows how how hard it can be. You canāt do it all alone, and you need a good team to support. Iām finally feeling resourced enough to step back in as b&ās interim GM and head chef. Itās a hat I havenāt worn in a few long years, but Iām excited and anxious to get back in the weeds for this next era of b&. Iām forever thankful to Madrid for her support of over the years. And now itās now time for her to get some MAJOR rest on a so-deserved break. Madrid: I hope you get super bored and rediscover your love for baking as a past time. If you ever decide to casually do any pop ups in the future, you have a huge fan base at Butter& whoāll sell you out in like 10 minutes probably šš bon voyage!
