It’s been a while since we introduced ourselves, so here we go! 🌸 You’ve probably met Kate at various markets around town, she’s the owner and baker of Manchester Place! She started the business after moving to Buffalo with her family from Texas, and decided to put her teaching career on hold to pursue her love of baking. A former elementary art teacher, she looks at baking as another way to be creative (in the kitchen instead of the classroom).
Kate started baking at a young age, and gives credit to her Grandma Dorothy for her love of the kitchen. Dorothy’s influence is seen in many of our bakes, especially the very popular butter tarts!
Enjoy the throwback pics to Kate’s teaching days, as well as our visit from THE .rosenthal which was such an exciting day! We’ll see you soon at events, and as always you can order on our website anytime, or catch our goodies at one of our wholesale spots around town! 🍪
