About Us

Hi, I’m Aubrey, the owner of Bibliophile’s Kitchen: Cakes and Things! I’m a licensed clinical social worker turned self-taught baker, a mom of two, wife to Justin, and a proud pet mama to a cat, a dog, and two chickens. 

Believe it or not, Bibliophile’s Kitchen started at book club! I loved bringing cakes and treats to share with friends and thought I was on my way to becoming a bookstagrammer. I started an Instagram account to share book reviews and the occasional baked good, but before long, the messages started rolling in asking for birthday cakes, anniversary treats, and everything in between. Before I knew it, my weekends were booked, and a little hobby was turning into something much bigger.

With a little encouragement from Justin, I took a leap of faith, registered a business, and started selling at local farmers markets and events. Then, in 2024, the opportunity to open a shop in downtown Salina came along, and we jumped in with both feet!

Today, I get to do what I love most: create sweet treats, connect with our community, and be part of your special moments. Bibliophile’s Kitchen is so much more than a bakery to me. It’s a dream built on a whole lot of love, hard work, and the support of an incredible community.

Thank you for being part of our story. I’m so happy you’re here!
