“It’s made with rye and wheat flour mixed together,” Keidel says. Special Occasions Just as each cause for celebration is different, so is every occasion cake made by Mrs. Goodman’s Baking Co. different – but common threads make them among the bakery’s best-loved items. Dots, spirals, balloons and fireworks are just some of the most basic decorations that can go on the cakes, but the Worthington-based bakery’s decorators can draw any number of complex images. And any can come with the shop’s signature buttercream icing.

“It’s been our loved signature icing for nearly three decades,” says owner Lee Alderman. “Enjoying it together with our cake is like a sweet dream come true.” Stick or Treat Pies, dinner rolls and doughnuts are a few of the items that have helped Der Dutchman Bakery make a name for itself, but visitors’ favorite is known by many names.

take four hours to make, and their popularity is such that many a weekend customer is likely to get the larger-than-normal treats right as they come out of the kitchen. “We’re famous for our huge long johns,” says Dan Yoder, bakery manager. “They’re probably double the size of a typical long john, cream stick or éclair.” Booyah, Grandma East side-based Resch’s Bakery has more than 100 years of history, and its signature grandma rolls have found a special place in residents’ hearts for generations. The bakery sees many customers who loved the rolls as kids come in to pick them up for their own children – or even their grandchildren. The rolls, sold by the halfdozen, are made of sweet dough and covered with white icing and pecans – similar to cinnamon rolls, but with no cinnamon. “People will come in and get packs of those, and then take them back (home) to California,” says Kelly Resch, who helps run the bakery. cs
