Visited this wonderful bakery on Saturday!! Our daughter went to college in Pella and I miss going here and the Ulrich Meat Market. We picked up some dark chocolate raspberry and red velvet cupcakes and my very favorite PUFF PILLOWS and took to our daughter and her husband in Webster City, Iowa. Great place and worth the trip to Pella, Iowa❤

This is absolutely the best bakery ever and we travel a lot. Just made a detour to stop here again on our way back to Kansas! They have cream horns to die for! But it’s all good.....everything light and flaky! If you are going through Iowa, this is a “must stop “.
