Holiday special!! Pastries filled with cream cheese, almond, or fruit (apricot or lemon). They are still warm…
12/20/2021
We have THREE fruitcakes left, so if you haven’t already ordered one, now is the time. If you have preordered for pickup later this week, yours has been put aside, so no worries.
12/19/2021
We will have buttery and delicious Christmas Stollen tomorrow! A holiday tradition at Mary’s, the bread is braided to resemble the swaddling clothes of the infant Jesus. We made 34 loaves, and there are 33 left (this one got gobbled up for quality control purposes).
P.S. can’t make it to the bakery tomorrow? You can also order one online for pickup at the bakery later this week and we’ll save it for you.

Mary is retiring!
It’s been a great 15+ years as the owner of Mary’s Cakes & Pastries. We’ve made a lot of friends, a lot of memories, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, though some more than others. The support we’ve had from the community through our adventures with the University, the tornado, the new mixer, Art Night, cookie throwdowns, and countless others, has meant the world to me. I am so grateful for being a part of your lives, and you being part of mine.
My husband, Mike, and I are moving to New Mexico. I may continue to bake commercially, but on a much smaller scale. Once we get settled, I will reach out with more information about our endeavors, including how to find us online.
Meanwhile, we will be open with our holiday menu for the next three weeks. The bakery will close for good on Friday, December 31. We hope to see you before we leave.
All the best,
Mary

One of the benefits of owning a bakery is that you can decide the staff needs to eat the last pumpkin pie for breakfast. We still have several pecan pies, fudge pecan, and sweet potato pecan pies.

We’re calling these “granny squares” cause they remind us of something granny would serve. Kind of a pie bar filled with pears and dates, with an oatmeal shortbread crumble on top.

It’s a known fact that the UPS truck stops at Brandon’s mom and dad’s house most days, so we knew that they were the right ones for the job. These two hunky UPS guys did not disappoint, as they dropped off a handmade gift AND a chocolate cake for Mimi’s upcoming birthday. I heard that they gave a few sugars, too!
For Mary’s gift, Brandon and I asked family to write down a one-word description of her. We then painted and sealed the boards, prior to carving their handwritten chosen words into the wood. Groves and Hannon also participated with their “abstract drawings.” The frame was constructed with ambrosia maple, and sealed with h**p oil.
A huge thanks to our friends, and shop neighbors, over at Mary's Cakes and Pastries. Their creations are limitless!!
HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY, MaryMom! Oh, how we love you. ♥️

When I was 5-years-old and living in Tuscaloosa, my parents often took me to Mary's Cakes and Pastries to get cookies and watch Mary and her team decorate cakes. My little brothers and I loved going there and being a part of “cookie throw-downs” on weekends.
For my oldest brother’s 16th birthday, he asked for a sushi cake. When we went to the bakery to pick it up, Mary wasn’t finished and let me watch. I loved it so much! I’m glad my mom took pictures (below.)
This week I got my first order for a sushi cake and I thought about Mary and her bakery. I was excited to turn different edible items into sushi pieces. I was happy for the little girl who would get my sushi cake and wondered if she would like it as much as I liked Mary’s when I was a little boy.
I’m thankful to all of the bakers who have inspired me.
