Meet BakeBites Bakery, a home-based bakery created by Alyssa Shockency. She is a junior at Macomb 185 Schools and is mentored by Blake Severs, Macomb Park District .
Here is the inspiration behind Alyssa's products: "I have always been drawn to the artistry and creativity of baking – the way a simple cake can be transformed into a work of art with just a swirl of frosting or how a batch of cookies can bring smiles to people's faces. It's not just about the ingredients and the recipes; it's about the joy and warmth that baking brings to both the baker and the people who enjoy their creations."
Check out Alyssa's baked goods at the 2024 McDonough County Trade Show at the Spoon River College Community Outreach Center on Tuesday, May 7 from 5:00-7:00 p.m.
