It's been four months since The Bakery (also known as 'Krumbs') at 154 Vanderbilt Avenue, was closed down by the Department of Health for an expired permit.

There is not much that can quell the entrepreneurial spirit. Determined to re-open by raising funds to cover the costs of the DoH fine plus the mounting rent debt for having to close her doors, Bakery owner, Adrienne Braxton has devised a plan to sell over 1000 pies this holiday season.

“I did the math and it can work,” stated Adrienne. “I know that that's a lot of pies, but I'm determined to roll up my sleeves and make this work for my family and my business,” she continued.

Specializing in all things baked, including homemade breads and confections like raspberry rugelach, classic pound cakes, gingerbread cookies, almond tortes, blueberry tarts, apple pies, fresh handcrafted breads and cinnamon rolls, the bakery will offer pies only in this special bootstrapping effort of determination and endurance. Check out more of Adrienne's story here.

Adrienne will rent kitchen incubator space to bake the pies, but will be at the bakery this Saturday (10a-4p) to take orders. Please stop in and help this much-loved bakery to reopen.

Pecan pies are $23. Sweet potato pies are $20.

The Bakery is located at 154 Vanderbilt Avenue between Myrtle and Willoughby. Stop in this Saturday between 10am-4pm to place an order.
