We are Open for Orders! And presenting... Sugar Pie Bakery!

As I stood in Kim Davis’ bright kitchen, watching her make 9 cinnamon streusel coffee cakes to deliver with many other goodies around town, I found myself unable to stop smiling. Or smelling. Goodness, that scrumptious smell followed me to my car! This mother of four had everything set up so conveniently, and could talk so freely about her goals, it was impossible to believe she would not be completely successful!

Kim and husband Ben, who is a trained chef, have both worked in the business for years, so it was only natural they’d eventually start their own bakery. When a Gettysburg baker taught her to make marbled fondant for her sister-in-law’s wedding cake, Kim admired the way this woman taught classes and made her living creating baked goods from her home-based business, while being so open about sharing her knowledge with others – including Kim!

Her goal ever since? To own her own business – what could be better than setting your own hours and being your own boss while doing what you loved? And Kim has always loved both the beauty and creativity of desserts. While she enjoys cooking, she says she loves how baked goods can be pretty, unique, AND taste amazing! She worked at a restaurant in Versailles, and decorated the dessert plates with delicious sauces – that yummy artistry is what draws her to baking.

She may be very content with baking from home for now, but Kim envisions a beautiful building for their restaurant where she and Ben could make their vocation their vacation, creating desserts both gorgeous and delicious that will set them apart.

Sugar Pie Bakery makes weekly deliveries to Haren’s Market, Troy Bulk Barn, Bakehouse, Sunset Meats, and Winner’s Meats, as well as filling custom orders from Facebook and phone customers.

My three-year-old took his first bite of Kim’s incredible peach pie with that signature pastry crust, and queried why Mommy hadn’t ever made him one, while my silent husband nodded and gave me that, yeah, how come? look. She had my five-year-old ready to go out and plant a peach orchard.
