Schenectady is gearing up for a delightful event this Saturday. The Schenectady Trading Co., a local general store on Union Street’s bustling restaurant row, will be hosting a Bakers’ Showcase. This event will feature four small baking operations owned by talented women from Schenectady County, each with their own unique background and specialty.
From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the front patio of The Schenectady Trading Co. at 609 Union St. will come alive with the aroma of freshly baked goods. This is a fantastic opportunity for these baking businesses, as they don’t have physical storefronts, to be introduced to a larger audience who are passionate about supporting local products. The shop offers an array of gifts, apparel, and food and drink items, most of which are locally produced.
Caroline Bardwell, the owner of The Schenectady Trading Co., believes that having all these talented bakers together creates a unique synergy. Each baker has a different story to tell, and they express their cultural heritage through their food.
Let’s meet the talented bakers participating in the showcase:
1. Layla Khafaga, owner of Meezan Kitchen in Niskayuna. Layla, a first-generation Palestinian American, specializes in Middle Eastern desserts. Customers can choose from a variety of delectable treats available for local pickup, delivery, pop-ups, and nationwide shipping. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy her mouthwatering creations, such as baklava cheesecake, cake and bar gift boxes, and tantalizing syrups.
2. Sookyung Lee, the owner of Ppang in Niskayuna, has a passion for recreating the flavors of her childhood memories from South Korea. Ppang, pronounced “pong,” takes its name from the popular Korean milk bread. Sookyung sells her delightful creations at occasional pop-ups and also has a stand at the Schenectady Greenmarket. Don’t forget to pre-order her bacon-kimchi focaccia, Korean cookies, and doughnuts for Saturday. Additional treats like milk bread and curry scallion biscuits will be available for same-day purchase.
3. Kristi Mance, the owner of Four Boys Bakery in Niskayuna, offers a delicious selection of gluten-free desserts and breads. Inspired by one of her four boys, Kristi’s bakery provides a variety of treats that cater to those with gluten sensitivities.
