Stemma Bakery is a home-based bakery that offers fresh, homemade cookies and cupcakes.
OUR STORY
Stemma Bakery was a family-owned Greek bakery that started in 1920. It was founded by Socrates Avvram. Through the years, the bakery was handed down from one son to another. Before Stemma Bakery closed in the late 1990's, the grandson of Socrates Avvram, Nick Kotsonas and his wife, took over Stemma. Once the bakery was forced to close its doors, due to the construction of Greektown Casino in downtown Detroit, their was no real chance of re-opening Stemma to the public again.
Fast forward to 2018 and the daughter of Nick Kotsonas, Socrates Avvram's great granddaughter, Michelle Wessel, decided she didn't want to let her dream go of one day being the owner of Stemma Bakery. She got to witness the business of the bakery as a little girl growing up and fell in love with baking! Stemma has always been sentimental to her. When she finally had a chance to recapture those unforgettable moments at her family's bakery, she took the opportunity to reclaim the Stemma name and started her own small, home-based bakery using the Stemma name.
She is currently still learning the ways of the old Stemma from her parents and at this time is proudly serving cupcakes and cookies. The menu will grow as Stemma grows, again...
The chance to bring back old family recipes is very exciting and will be a chance to make her dream come true!
