Living in Nashville, you’ll find that there’s no shortage of hot chicken, barbecue, burgers or craft beer. But when it comes to bakeries, it’s a bit of a different story.

From of charming cupcakes boutiques to the famous 100-layer donut, Nashville has you covered. When it comes to cakes, cookies, and other classic confectioneries, where do Nashvillians go to remedy their sweet tooth?

Baked on 8th.

If you’ve driven down Eighth Avenue this summer, without a doubt you have seen the eye-catching, pie-popping mural that says “Life Can Be Sweet.” Aside from wanting to snap a picture of one of the cutest murals in Music City, I was eager to see what this bake shop had in store.

As I approached the door, my eyes widened and my jaw dropped slowly. Container after container lined the counter filled with the most charming confectionery delights. (It’s days like this where I want to say to hell with myfitnesspal! Am I right?)

After my giddiness subsided, I began to take a look around. The interior is adorned with vibrant pistachio floral wallpaper and there’s ample seating for those who want to grab a beverage, sit for a while and sample the sweets.

Sit a while in this nook and sample ALL the sweets!

These towels are the cutest and the hutch makes it seem like home!

Have you ever seen such gorgeous cakes?

Assorted pastries, scones, breads and brownies

It’s no exaggeration, the options really are endless. After thoroughly surveying the territory, I was drawn to what initially caught my eye, the frosted sugar cookies. Y’all, these are far from basic. In fact, Baked on 8th sugar cookies will make you swoon. From the clever designs to the delicious flavor, you will be hooked. I promise you that.

If you’re looking to treat yourself, a friend or perhaps you just want to get out of baking cookies for your children’s school, these are the cookies you want.

With so many options, how is a girl to choose?

Sugar Cookies That Will Make You Swoon!

Yeah, I Had One Of Each

It wouldn’t be a bakery without an assortment of brownies and blondies. Again, I like to make pretty choices, so I couldn’t leave without grabbing a galaxy brownie. It was literally out of this world!

I cobbled together my own sampler box which included the frosted sugar cookies, blondies, galaxy brownies, hello dollies and a few other items that caught my eye. #Sugarcoma here I come!

Those Galaxy Brownies Are Out Of This World!

Catherine Courtney

Welcome to Blonde Voyage Nashville!

I am so excited to finally see this dream become a reality.  Between the destination restaurants, the copious amount of food photos and insanely crazy travel stories, I have decided to share my journey. 

My name is Catherine Courtney and I am a Nashville native with a penchant for culinary creativity and epic travel adventures. I'll admit... I also have a slight obsession with handbags.

Two years ago, my life changed completely.  Everything that I knew to be was completely turned upside down.  I quickly realized that time is our greatest commodity and it's not to be taken for granted. I couldn't wait for the perfect time, who knew when that would be.  I needed to take the leap and explore the world on my own.  There were so many places I wanted to go, but where would I start. 

France was always one of those places that I had romanticized.  Wandering the streets of Paris and seeing the Eiffel tower were at the top of my list. Without hesitation, I booked a two week trip to the French Rivera and Paris.  It was a journey of a lifetime.  Not only were amazing friendships cultivated, but it was on that trip that i discovered that food and travel are the embers that that keep my soul on fire. 

It wasn't until I arrived back in Nashville with my passport that I realized I had been bit. Wanderlust had completely taken over.  I already started thinking about where I wanted to go next.  It was then that I decided that it was more important to have camera full of photos and a tattered journal full of stories than anything else. My heart was overflowing.

One of my favorite quotes that resonates is from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland:

"Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures...."

Join me as I explore near and far away places, filling my passport full of stamps and satiating my appetite with some of the most amazing cuisine the world has to offer. 

Thanks for reading!
