Bakeries work in McKinney
McKinney searches for bakeries the way a growing suburb does. People moving into the new builds around the north and west sides look for a bakery before they have a routine, and they search by occasion: a birthday cake, a wedding tasting, a tray of kolaches for the office. The searches split between custom cake work, which is planned weeks out, and walk in pastry and bread, which is decided the same morning. Chain grocery bakeries take a share of the everyday loaf and sheet cake trade, and owner operators take the custom and celebration work where a name and a photo matter. The demand is there all year and it spikes around the calendar moments a family plans for.
