Bloom’s Baking House began, in the country, on a dirt road in
Michigan, in 1983. It started as a cake decorating business and slowly
grew into creating pies, cookies and breads.
It was not uncommon to find my table lined with 14 pies, 15 cakes
and assorted cookies all pre-ordered waiting for pickup.
As time passed it progressed into catering.
I stopped baking, for others , when I homeschooled our three
children and took over running my husbands construction office. But
during that time I would dream of one day starting Bloom’s Baking House
back up and expand by turning our country home into a bed &
breakfast. I had the sign all designed to read Bloom’s Baking House & Inn.
In 2004 my husband was offered a job in Florida and I left my
dream behind. I tried working in an office in Leesburg, but found I was
happiest when I would create wonderful desserts and meals for other
people.
And now, here we are in 2012 opening a restaurant. It’s not a bed &
breakfast, but it’s a wonderful opportunity and I can’t wait to cook for
people that love to eat.
Good, quality, home-made food is how my little business got
started on that dirt road so many years ago.
And that same quality and home-made goodness is what I want to
continue right here in the Historic District of Downtown Leesburg.
