About

The Beginning

Many think that the bakery began with Bill and Kathy Young, which it did. But, what they don’t know is baking started in each of their families, years before the creation of Grandma’s Country Bake Shoppe. Long before they met, Kathy and Bill shared their love of baking with their grandmothers. Of course, back then, true scratch baking was the only method – no bags or boxed mixes, nothing frozen, all made from scratch with fresh ingredients by hand.

Naming Rights

When it came to naming the bakery Kathy gets all the credit. Honoring both grandmother’s along with being a small mom and pop bakery out in the country, Grandma’s Country Oven Bake Shoppe just rolled off her tongue. Years later, due to the high demand of our cheesecakes, “& The Cheesecake Place” was added.

Exceptional Standards

Bill and Kathy vowed to practice an extremely high standard of true scratch baking with every cookie, pie, cake, bread or tart and any other baked good produced in their bakery. This has been their practice since opening the doors in 1981. To this day every baked good begins with the finest ingredients available, including fresh fruits from the family farm.

Unmatched Skills

Although it sounds unbelievable, each apple is still peeled and cored individually, by hand. (Nobody spends the time or money to do this except, maybe your Grandma.) Each ingredient is scaled and measured by hand. We continue to hand mold and prepare each product for the oven. As a final touch, all cake and cookie decorating is by the skilled hands of Kathy & talented Cake Artist. As many know, the two of them come up with the most amazing creations!

True Scratch Baking

Even though these processes are labor intensive and can be costly, the very reason the baking industry as a whole has gotten away from these practices (to save money), they are necessary to provide the finest baked goods possible. This is why we will never deviate from true scratch baking. We want only the best for our family and want nothing less for you and yours!
