ModBaskets

Homebaker Specializing in Sourdough Goods and Gift Baskets for Every Occasion

ModBaskets™™specializes in gourmet baked goods baking sourdough traditional breads and modern sourdough-based breads, sourdough muffins, sourdough  and traditional cookies and cakes for every occasion. This is a true home bakery where everything is produced and made in the owner’s home and kitchen. Everything is made to the order to ensure the freshness and quality of our products. Nothing is stored frozen nor are preservatives added. We use flour produced at Lehi Mills, Lehi, Utah 84043. We like to support our neighbors by incorporating and using their local products in our own products whenever possible.

 

The name ModBaskets™™was inspired by the old tradition of gift giving goods in baskets, but with a modern twist. We assemble modern gift baskets trying to be as a good steward to the planet as we can. We try to avoid plastics as much as we can and use biodegradable material whenever possible.

 

We also design and make floral and fruit arrangements such as hand bouquets, and centerpieces for weddings, birthdays (quinceañeras, etc.), and other events.

Owner Information
Marie Franco
Homebaker, Owner

Marie Franco came to Utah as a teenager at the turn of the 21st century. She did not have a privileged childhood and that taught her the necessary survival skills to thrive in the modern market environment. She has completed studies in marketing and communications and has applied them to her business.

Now a mother of four, she decided to become as independent as she could, and for that she tapped into her baking skills, became enamored with the sourdough tradition of making bread and started selling to her friends and neighbors.

Her mother-in-law saw her designer and manual skills to make floral and fruit arrangements and started encouraging (and even pushing) her to start her own business.

In 2021, Marie Franco took a further step and founded ModBaskets™ as a sole owner company and as female entrepreneur and has been successful in maintaining a presence in the very competitive market of home-baking in Utah’s Salt Lake Valley. Today she continues to push for growth and participates in community service and in local churches.
