Bliss is better than homemade.....Valentines day is just around the corner....today would be a great day to place an order for some Deliciousness!
From birthday cakes to custom cupcakes to caketinis, cinnamon rolls to pineapple bars to cookies of every kind, our baked goods have been known to evoke spontaneous elation, delight, and/or happiness… bliss, you might say.
In addition to our delicious classics, Bliss Bakery can customize sweets to match your specific appetite or occasion. We feature a variety of cake flavors, including Pink Champagne, Chocolate, Key Lime, Red Velvet, and more. Bliss also has gluten-free options for the health-conscious or those with food allergies.
A Nebraska native, Bliss’ young owner and baker Autumn Pruitt can’t remember a time when she didn’t love baking with her family. In fact, at age 19, Autumn decided she wanted to spend her life sweetening the world around her. From that point on, she began experimenting with new recipes each and every week, many of which eventually reached the rapturous status of “better than homemade”, earning their permanent place in the recipe book of Bliss Old Market Bakery.
Bliss Bakery is conveniently located at 10th & Jones in downtown Omaha’s Old Market (next to Aromas Coffeehouse).

Howdy folks it has been a long productive offseason for your Nebraska Cornhuskers. So where do we start in terms of leading up to the first game of the season. By now all of you know that the Huskers have finally moved on from Big XII to join the now 12 team B1G Ten. This move could not have come at a better time for the Huskers with the Big XII looking like it will be losing a few more members, most notably Texas A&M and Oklahoma. This situation has given rise to a new nickname for the Longhorns, “Conference Killers,” first the SouthWest Conference and now the Big XII. I will highlight more on the move to the B1G as conference play gets closer but let us take a look at the upcoming game this Saturday.
This Saturday’s game against UT-Chattanooga is going to be a little bit lopsided but will give Husker Nation a good taste of what to expect this year. UTC is a FCS opponent that does boast a lot of talent and should not be taken lightly, especially with what happened last year against South Dakota State. Although I want to say SDST was a little bit of a fluke and a trap game last season, but unfortunately that game gave other teams the base to stop the T-Magic Show.
Chattanooga is a formidable opponent with good skill positions, they have 7 pre-season all conference candidates. However, I highly doubt that they will be able to match up very well with the Huskers speed and strength.
Nebraska’s offenses, has been kept under wraps all season, even with what we saw in the Spring Game, (which was a very vanilla version)all we know is it will be up-temp, fast, attacking, and simple. It will most likely resemble a form of Oregon, Oklahoma, and Kansas circa 2007 style. Outside the Husker football program no one truly knows what to expect and I doubt this weekend will show us any more than a little bit of variance from the Spring Game. I would expect a little bit faster pace than the spring game with a little bit more formations but other than that it is anyone’s guess. I would expect to see our base shotgun set, I and Power I formations, as well as wildcat, and pistol formation. What the offense will look like and how it will be executed are two different things, no matter what it looks like Saturday it will be executed with SPEED. The Huskers have just about as much speed as they ever have at the skill positions on offense. Jamal Turner, Aaron Green, Braylon Heard, Ameer Abudallah, Kenny Bell, and Tim Marlowe not to mention Taylor Martinez all have explosive speed and game breaking ability. Couple that with reliability of Rex Burkhead, Brandon Kinnie, and Kyler Reed this Husker offense has big play threats at every offensive skill position. How that speed translates quality of plays is another story, but too much speed means a lot of quick scoring drives for the Huskers on Saturday.
I will say it right now, the Blackshirts will be absolutely destructive this year. The Husker Defense is the furthest along it has been at this point of the season since the Pelini Bros took over. What does that say about how they will play on Saturday, “Watch out Mocs, it won’t a good day in Lincoln for you.” The Blackshirts have three All-American Candidates at each level of the defense, Jared Crick, Lavonte David, and Alfonzo Dennard. Crick will most likely see double teams all day but that leaves t he door open for Meredith, Steinkuhler, and either Martin or Ankrah to have a huge day. With the return of a three man linebacker core expect the defense to be extremely stout against the run. Although Dennard is out with a leg muscle injury, Evans and Andrew Green will step up and have big days. With the amount of pressure that will be put on the UTC’s quarterback the secondary will have an easy day with at least 2 picks and several pass break ups.
Replacing the NCAA’s most accurate place kicker in history won’t be easy but I am not seeing the need for several 40+ yard field goals in this game. The biggest threat of special teams this week will be on the kick return side. Odds are Jamal Turner and Tim Marlowe will be back deep on kickoff return, I wouldn’t be surprised to see one taken back to at least the Moc’s side of the field. Punt returns are where this game is going to get out of hand quickly, Jamal Turner should handle that responsibility with ease in this game. We may even see a glimpse of the past with him to bring us back to the days of Johnny Rodgers and Bobby Newcombe.
Although Chattanooga will be severely out matched in this game, the Huskers cannot take them lightly. I doubt that they will do that, but it just needs to be reiterated. The second and third string offenses and defenses will see a lot of playing time in this game.
Final score prediction 63-3 Nebraska gets its first victory of the season.

A new route has been announced for the inaugural Road to Omaha® Run on Sunday, June 26, starting at 9 a.m. Central time, according to the event’s organizers. The new route (Click to See Map) will begin and end south of the Elmwood Park pavilion, 802 South 60th Street, with the 5K Race course going through Elmwood and Memorial Parks.
