Nestled in the heart of the Village on Highway 2, the Wrightwood Bakery, located at 1350 Hwy 2, is ready to serve the community.
The community has been eagerly anticipating the opening of a bakery shop for nearly a year. The "Opening Soon" sign has been hanging above the shop, and the opening date has been pushed back many times. Despite the challenges and delays caused by County Inspectors, the owners' unwavering dedication and commitment to serving the community have kept the dream alive.
The shop has been rebuilt from scratch under the watchful eyes of the Inspectors. Now, the kitchen is beautifully equipped, and the ovens are ready for baking.
Many years ago, the Cinnamon Bakery was at this location and was a favorite among the residents and visitors. With the closing of Cinnamon Bakery, other businesses took over the space, but most people wanted an authentic bakery.
The new owners of Wrightwood Bakery have a love for baking and a passion for bringing people together through food. Shelly Thomas and Lyn Legaz, a daughter and mother team, along with a small staff of dedicated individuals, have poured their hearts into every handcrafted bread, pastry, and custom cake, ensuring a personal touch and care in each creation.
Shelly says she developed her skills by attending the Cordon Bleu cooking school. And as a child, she would help with the family cooking, especially during Christmas when they gathered to prepare the Welsh Cake, a small, round, spiced cake.
Shelly worked at other businesses, but it was her dream to someday open her own Bakery. Shelly's mom, Lyn, will be an integral part of the operation. She will soon retire from her nursing career to be with her daughter in this new adventure.
Shelly plans to offer an extensive menu of desserts and savory items, providing a wide variety to cater to different tastes and preferences. The Bakery specializes in a range of artisan breads, desserts, pies, muffins, brownies, and cinnamon rolls. Each item is made fresh daily using premium ingredients, ensuring the highest quality and your confidence in their product. Besides sweet goodies, Shelly's menu will include shepherd's pies, chicken pot pies, soups, and sandwiches. It will keep you excited and curious about her offerings, ensuring there's always something new and delicious to try.
Shelly has hired a cake decorating specialist to offer customers birthday cakes and other special occasion cakes.
As the new neighborhood gathering spot, Shelly will serve up coffee, tea, and other beverages to cater to different preferences. The shop is bright, cozy, and has beautifully designed interiors that create an inviting ambiance, encouraging customers to stay and relax on the deck.
They are now accepting Thanksgiving pie orders, including pumpkin pie, apple pie, and other specialty types. Deadlines are approaching, so get your order in ASAP.
Besides selling goods, her shop provides a space for people to connect, unwind, and build relationships. This Bakery offers more than just delicious baked goods; it is a welcoming place that fosters a genuine sense of belonging and familiarity.
Shop hours are 5 am to 4 pm all week long.
