Silverland Bakery began over 30 years ago as one of the first commercial bakers of brownies. Since 1983, our founder and former structural engineer Athena Uslander has been hand crafting Brownies, Old Fashioned Bakery Bars, Cookies, Crispy Rice Treats, Natural Food Bars and customized baked goods for wholesale customers as well as direct to the consumer. Recipes developed by Athena are hand made w

ith locally sourced, high quality all-natural ingredients in small batches, preservative and trans-fat free. Our family business strives to be a recognized brand known to consumers, foodservice and retailers for making all natural desserts and food bars crafted by heart and hand. So what does it take to “craft by hand and heart?”

It takes a pregnant engineer who’s fed up with her job and determined to pass some tradition down to her kids. Thirty years ago, Athena Uslander, with her nimble engineer‘s hands and tradition-craving mother’s heart, left her job for her passion. The rest, is Chicago history – “the birthplace of the brownie” hasn’t been the same since. Those coveted family recipes are still strictly followed by master artisans, as they fold by hand and douse with love every Silverland treat you eat. Since 1983, our master artisans at Silverland have hand made brownies, bars, and cookies with the same care and love. All natural ingredients are folded into recipes that are perfected over years all in the birthplace of brownies, Chicago, IL. Nothing but the most high quality and local ingredients are used to craft the gems that are our artesian-baked treat. We share the love with everyone from the patrons of our bake shop in Forest Park, IL to our wholesale customers to our online bakery customers with the same care and love that we give to our product line.
