Quick Update:
Marci's Bakery downsized in Sept 2023. If you’d like to order or have questions, please email us at marcisproduction@gmail.com or go to our socials @marcisbakery (instagram), and Marci’s Bakery (Facebook) and send us a message. We are working behind the scenes to grow into a new location, and we are still baking for people.
Due to the death of her 3 year old grand daughter, Georgia - Marci decided to take time to heal, while also negotiating terms with the new CEO. The plan is to look after her health, serve her family and gradually bake more. The new owner will work with Marci to build an even better experience for you. So, stay tuned and check in frequently and follow us on social media (see below), as we prepare for a great future!

Read Marci's story. It will be worth your time:
A late bloomer, I started Marci’s Bakery after having a quiver full of children. This wasn’t the original plan. You see, I have always loved baking for people and had a particular draw to those with food allergies and sensitivities. I had already started a baking biz, freshly married and motivated. I had a new hubbie, we were having our babies and living the dream to serve delicious and healthy baked goods everywhere!
Sadly, an unexpected tragedy hit us hard when our 3rd full term child died after delivery. Our world and business came to a crashing halt.
After some years of recovery, I began again with 3 major goals:
Goals
Goal # 1: Have another baby, and we did! Hallelujah!
Goal # 2: Restart the business with a fresh vision to serve people and help them enjoy fresh baking that is decadent, tasty and fully free from food allergens (gluten free, vegan, tree nut free, peanut free, dairy free, egg free, seafood/shellfish free, sesame free, etc). Goal achieved ❤️
Many people, (used to), have no opportunity to enjoy a freshly baked delight! That is not okay! I constantly try to create for these sweet souls, and I’m always trying to do better (truly, I lay in bed at night thinking of new recipes and creative ideas). We regularly win awards. I believe this happened because: people, and the media, see the significance in what we’re doing, our baking tastes really good, and because there is a higher power at hand. (Another topic all together and if you’d like to talk to me about this, please reach out. I’d love to chat over our locally roasted, fair-trade coffee and maybe a baked good or two).
Goal #3: I want to serve our community, AND make a difference in our world. I couldn’t control the death of my own child, or grand child (see below), but maybe I could help others when they are in their last stages of life and help their families. So, I cook, bake and serve every Saturday at the Kemp Care Hospice (formerly the Bob Kemp Hospice).
We also support various local charities to bless our community.
Today and Onward
I feel truly blessed to have had this second chance at achieving very worthy dreams.
Quick current update: my 2nd grand daughter (born in 2019), was born with a very rare syndrome called Lesch-Nyhan's.
Georgie was loved dearly while suffering many complications. Very sadly, she passed away on July 17, 2023. The family was, and is devastated.
To all of you, who know us, thank you for all your love and support as our family navigates this very difficult time.
To everyone who has read this far, thank you and please stay tuned. We are aiming at reopening in a better and more impactful way.
With love and good health to you and yours,
