When my kids were younger I would gather them and their friends in my kitchen by baking. They always asked specifically for my cinnamon rolls, and I loved that they loved them. Everyone has their art or their outlet, mine is baking!

Debbie, the owner, has been baking all of her life, and her daughters just recently convinced her to share that talent with the whole community!

4. Are you new to the Heber Valley (in the past 2 years)?

Our family grew up in Idaho, but one of my kids has been here as long as 12 years. We love and are drawn to Heber because it has a similar feel as where we came from in Idaho. Our family has always been drawn to wide open beautiful places like Heber Valley!

5. What are the benefits of being a part of the Heber Valley Chamber of Commerce?

Anyone with a sweet tooth!

9. Share a few sentences about your family and your hobbies outside of work?

There are six kids in our family, so it is always loud when we get together! We love camping, fishing, laughing, and lots of good food! Our home has always been a place where all are welcome, so there were and are always random stragglers enjoying moms food as well!

Hands down, my family! Opening the bakery has been amazing, but my husband, children, and grandchildren will always be my greatest joy and accomplishment!

We love enjoying the beautiful, quiet, peaceful outdoors around here. We love to hike, take mountain drives, gather around camp fires, etc. Heber is just a gorgeous place.

12. What drives you to do what you do for a living?

I have baked since I was a little girl. If you come into the bakery you will see a sign that says, “I just want to bake bread.” There is something comforting to me about the whole process, and I love that I now get to share it with so many people.
