Substantial by design
The cookies are oversized and generously loaded. Brownies are cut generously and often finish even heavier.
About the bakery

behind the influence.
Bad Influence Bakery is a home-based bakery in Post Falls, Idaho, built by Amanda French for people who want their treats substantial and their bread worth planning around.
Meet Amanda French
Apparently, baking runs in the family.
I got my baking “gene” from my great-grandfather, who owned and ran a bakery before I was born. I never had the chance to bake alongside him, but the family connection found its way into my kitchen anyway.
Today, I’m the owner and baker behind Bad Influence Bakery. I make everything in small batches with a simple rule: if a flavor is worth making, it should actually show up in the finished bake. That means oversized cookies, generously cut brownies, loaded breads, soft rolls, and Extra Sour sourdough given a full 72-hour cold ferment.
Head of Marketing
Meet Dobby.
Dobby is the sweet, people-loving dog behind the bakery logo—and Bad Influence Bakery’s official Head of Marketing. His strategy is simple: look handsome, greet everyone, and collect as many pets as possible.
When venue rules allow, Dobby may come along to pop-ups and events. He genuinely loves people, so if you see him on duty, please come say hi and give him a pet. Together with the dragon, he gives every questionable decision leaving the kitchen his seal of approval.
Time is an ingredient
Extra Sour sourdough is cold fermented for a full 72 hours, dulce de leche is slow-cooked, and raspberry filling is reduced until concentrated.
