Chef Danielle Sanders started her culinary career cooking breakfast and taking care of guests at the Red Lion Bed & Breakfast. She attended Yorktowne Business Institue's School of Culinary Arts to improve her skills. While attending the school she started having tea parties at the Bed & Breakfast four to six times a year. Through referrals and word of mouth her mailing list grew. Soon more space was needed.
As her skills grew she also needed a better kitchen. When she first saw the space where the bakery would be established, she knew this was the place for her bakery. With some extrodinary effort, in 4 months, Chef Dani and her brother-in-law took an open, empty space and created a hidden treasure.
The Red Brick Bakery opened on February 19th 2005 with a bang. There was a line to the door all morning. The popularity of the bakery has continued with customers coming for individual tea parties, specialty tea parties, lunch, and baked goods.
Chef Dani enjoys providing a variety of flavors and a changing menu. While you can find scones, muffins, cookies, mini breads, a sandwich and soup every week, the flavors will be something to investigate regularly!
If you don't get a chance to come to the bakery you will soon be able to get Chef Dani's baked goods online, at catering events, and possibly at local restaurants and cafes. Keep Chef Dani in mind if you would like to plan a tea party for a shower, birthday or other event. She has room for 20-24 people at the bakery and can do on-site tea party catering as well.
