Based in Lethbridge, Alberta, Rainbow House Cookies is a home-based business run by Kim Siever. I specialize in homemade cookies, but I have also baked all sorts of goodies for customers.

  • White chocolate & macadamia

    White chocolate & macadamia

    A new customer ordered a dozen white chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies. It was the second customer to order these type of cookies.

  • Sourdough bread

    Sourdough bread

    This loaf of sourdough bread is so fresh, it is still in the bread pan.

    Notice the cookie batter and the rolled out pizza bun dough in the background. It is a busy baking day today.

  • Lemon blueberry loaf

    Lemon blueberry loaf

    A new customer ordered a lemon blueberry loaf. This is actually the second loaf I made. I frogt to add blueberries in the first one, so that one is for my family.

    My lemon blueberry loaf has a touch of cardamom and ginger to boost the lemon flavour, as well as some large sugar crystals on top for an extra sweet crunch.

  • New customer order

    I had a new customer reach out to me to place a baking order. They have asked for a dozen cinnamon buns, a dozen white chocolate chip macadamia cookies, and a lemon blueberry loaf.

  • White chocolate chip hazelnut cookies

    White chocolate chip hazelnut cookies

    I had two orders come in for white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies, but then I made a cookie dough with hazelnuts instead.

    Does anyone want to order white chcoolate chip hazelnut cookies?

  • Multigrain bread

    This bread was made with oats, corn, rice, rye, and wheat. I forgot to add seeds though.

  • Lemon blueberry loaf

    A customer asked me to make a lemon blueberry loaf. This one is topped with coarse sugar crystals.

  • Sourdough

    Freshly baked loaf of sourdough bread. This one rose pretty high. Hopefully slices will fit in the toaster.

  • Cinnamon buns

    I received another order for a dozen cinnamon buns. These are getting a little popular. I let this ones rise a bit more than usual, baked them, then topped them with a cinnamon glaze.

  • Being a disabled baker

    Baking is not the best profession for someone who cannot stand for long periods.

    A few years ago, I was in two accidents that ended up seriously injuring my knees. Now, I cannot squat, kneel, or run. Even standing or walking for long periods, or walking up and down stairs too much is a challenge. The more I use my knees, the more inflamed they become.

    One thing that helps is this barstool. It allows me to sit down, taking weight off my knees, while also being able to work at the counter.

    It allows me to bake longer than standing alone.

    Accommodations make a huge difference for disabled people. Even bakers.
