Kaylena Marie's Bakery

History

In 2014, Kaylena started Kaylena Marie's Bakery while a junior at Orchard Park High School. Baking out of her home kitchen, at just 17 years of age, she secured several wholesale/catering accounts including; Brick Oven/Delta Sonic (5 locations), Pasquale's (3 locations), Russell's, Cole's, OP Social, Byrdhouse and Buffalo/Niagara Convention Center, just to name a few. After being accepted at CIA, Johnson and Wales, and LeCordon Blue, Kaylena's guidance counselor recommended she take a gap year knowing how much business she had. During this time, Kaylena honed her craft further by taking bread making classes at Niagara Falls Culinary Institute, while still handling the accounts mentioned above. At 19 years old, Kaylena was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to open a retail location with the money she saved from her wholesale/catering accounts. Kaylena Marie's Bakery opened it's doors on October 2nd, 2016.
