I was lucky enough to actually be there! My husband planned a terrific long weekend in Vermont and we travelled from St. Louis to spend our 20th wedding anniversay. One of our planned stops was KAF – and coincidentally we arrived on Sept 10th, in time to join the party, bake our own pizzas and eat cake with our blogging friends. Looks like he even made it into one of your photos. It was a thrill to meet you each in person, ask my baking questions, and get to share in your birthday party. Your store was great and baking center very impressive. Wish I could drop by often for classes – but will keep learning through your virtual instructions. Thanks for making me a better baker!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I have been cooking with King Arthur Flours for over 25 years and continually adding different flours and trying mixes.

Keep up all the good work and excellent, world class customer service.

Have a great day.

Congratulations, King Arthur!! WOW! To be celebrating 220 years really says it all about your company and your products.

I really miss my pilgrimages to your Norwich store now that we are not living in VT. It is good to stay connected with this blog. Thankfully, our local store carries your flour here in the Southwest. I have told the manager several times how good your flour is and how happy I am to be able to buy it here! Baking is a whole new experience at 6500′ above sea level.

Happy 220th Birthday, King Arthur, and may you have many, many more!

Thanks, Susan! We have some tips on high-altitude baking – maybe they’ll help!

Happy Birthday KAF! That looked fun the pizza making. I once went to a local restaurant/bakery and did something similar. It was pretzel making, they already had the dough made like you did for the pizza. It was the best tasting pretzel I ever had, I think cause one it was fresh and hot and two I made it in a way, we had to roll it and shape it and put the salt on it. I would of loved being there for your pizza birthday party. And that cake it looks yummy also!
Here to another 220 years!

Wowww, what celebrationnn!!!!
One thing i loved more in your party is the fact you celebrated this so important date with a simple, but delicious PIZZA!
I was here in a cold day looking for some pizza recipe at KAF´s
recipe page, but now i´d choosed this right one.
I´ll bake this pizza and have all of Kaf´s staff, all of your dedicated members and professionals in my mind. Not only my mind but in the mind of my whole family, in a prayer to healthy years to KAF YEARS AND YEARS COMING!

Well i may say that KAF is now important part in my life because with KAF I COULD LEARN AN ASTONISHING NEW TIPS AND HOW-TO-DO DELICIOUS NEW BAKER´S GOODS!

THANKS AND MY BEST WISHES,ALWAYS.
