Our Story

Founded in 2018 by Master Baker Sarah Mitchell, Custodian Baking has become Portland's premier artisan bakery. Our commitment to traditional baking methods, premium ingredients, and exceptional customer service has earned us a loyal following throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Every morning at 4 AM, our skilled bakers begin the careful process of crafting our signature sourdough breads, delicate pastries, and custom celebration cakes. We source our flour from local Oregon mills, use organic eggs from nearby farms, and create everything from scratch using time-honored techniques passed down through generations.

From intimate birthday celebrations to grand wedding receptions, we take pride in being the custodians of your most precious moments, ensuring each creation is as memorable as the occasion it celebrates.
