What are some of your favorite seasonal treats? Are you more of a pumpkin or an apple pie person?

I have unfortunately been to busy to post much as of late. Since shifting focus to sweets and baked goods Colton has hung up his chefs hat and let me fully take over the helm. As with all change there have been growing pains, but as always family comes first! I've blocked out certain times and dates to set aside for family and downtime. Our kiddos won't be little forever so we want to make sure we get to enjoy it while still pursuing my love of baking for all you wonderful folks! A name change is imminent to reflect rebranding so keep an eye out! In the mean time I have some of my new favorite bakes to show off, enjoy! -Aleix

Work and life have been crazy, but good things are in-store as well as changes. As you all know we're moving this fall and will be changing our business model from an open storefront to strictly commission and catering based specializing in our custom cakes, cookies and more. This will open the potential to do online decorating tutorials and classes down the line. We are so grateful that our small little mom and pop business has received so much love and support from everyone and we are so excited for what the future holds!

Wedding season is in full bloom, we've had a very busy summer so we thank you all for supporting our business! I've been flooded with messages asking if we have availability but I apologize we are booked out through August and select dates in September. With Autumn fast approaching we will be switching gears to tackle our move. More updates to come. Thank you again! -The Wollers

This last weekend I was able to make a very special cake for someone very near and dear to my heart. ❤ Someone who's been a huge baking inspiration and I'm so happy she was able to visit and meet her newest great grand baby, my grandmother.
A decadent chocolate cake complmented by a rich raspberry filling, as elegant and timeless as my grandmother herself.

Hey guys! Don't forget we have 15" homemade pizzas using the freshest local ingredients including organic meat from Merrill's very own Sunset Hollow Ranch for "Take N Bake." We have either Margarita or Meat Lovers toppings available.
06/16/2021
Just a quick post today for everyone to update on our weekly offerings!
Today we have a brand new flavor of scone that I have taken to affectionately calling "Nanner sandwich". These lovely scones are filled with bananas, toasted walnuts, and local maple syrup in a decadent, sweet layer between the lovely, buttery scone dough you've grown to love. We also have Raspberry white chocolate flavor if you can't have nuts or don't like bananas!
We are also excited to be offering a brand new item to our Take and Bake lineup: the Homemade pizza! Colton has been hard at work perfecting his red wine marinara which he tops generously over hand kneaded pizza dough and then buries in fresh mozzarella and your choice of two timeless pizza topping combos! The first option is ultimate meat which is comprised of Hand seasoned pork sausage, aged peoperoni, and rich canadian bacon with an extra helping of shredded colby jack cheese. All meat toppings on our pizzas are brought to us by Sunset Hollow Ranch so feep free to give them some love if you like the meat toppings this week. We also have the classic Margherita style pizza with rough cut tomato, basil leaves, and soft mozzarella cuts! Both pizzas are offered as Take and Bake only and will come frozen for your convenience. Ask Colton for baking tips and temperatures when you pick up if you want the ideal bake!
These new offerings are limited today but if you miss out today we will be making them again for Friday and Saturday pickups as well. We encourage call aheads if you really want to get your hands on one today!
As always we also have an assortment of bakery including cookies, pie bars, blondies, and brownies and more! Thanks for tuning in and for all of your great support!

Hometown Hero Appreciation
Today we wanted to take a moment to appreciate all of our customers, we couldn't do it without you! Despite this year's challenges Colton and I couldn't be more proud of all we have accomplished and continue to achieve, building a business from the ground up has been no easy task for a couple of kids who had a dream but we continue to work hard to make sharing what we do possible. You guys are the real Hometown Heroes, thank you!
Our Message: They say home is where the heart is so it seemed only natural for my husband and I to follow this adventure together, in a place that means so much to us in so many ways. For years I had the dream of opening up a small business where people could eat and spend time with their loved ones and friends. Somewhere they could call a home away from home. Now we are in the works of making it a reality.
Our Mission: We aim to bring not only a bakery to Merrill but access to quality artisan style homemade food using locally sourced ingredients and incorporate other local surrounding small businesses. We wish to further the sense of community within Merrill with a family friendly atmosphere where customers can come and sit a while and chat about their day or take their treats to go, because we understand life can get hectic. Hometown Bakery would stand out against the corporate chain store in both quality and person-ability when it comes to needing cakes personalized for special events, because they should be just that, special! We also plan to make Gluten free, Keto friendly, and sugar/dairy free options available.
Our Venue: Skippers Restaurant was a fixture of the community for 80 years and we want preserve such a wonderful place in our own way by further instilling what it symbolized to Merrill. I personally have a deep nostalgia for the business and building in it’s entirety and I want to do right by it. We will be undergoing remodeling starting September 2019 but we want to take into account the local area and wish to showcase themes and elements from it’s history and surroundings. We plan to reach out to local artist and other resources during this time to incorporate their works, because that’s what it’s all about; community. We are building this business for everyone to enjoy, a true extension of Merrill as a whole.
We hope to see you all in the future and will update you as we go!
Sincerely,
The Wollers
