Our Sweet Journey
Discover the story behind Umm Yahya's Bakery and our passion for creating delicious homemade treats in Minnesota
Our Story
From humble beginnings to Minnesota's beloved bakery, our journey has been filled with passion, dedication, and lots of sugar!
A Passion for Baking
Our story begins with Umm Yahya, a talented baker with an unwavering love for the art of baking. From a young age, she spent countless hours in the kitchen, experimenting with flavors, perfecting recipes, and sharing her delectable creations with family and friends.
What started as a hobby quickly blossomed into a true passion. Each recipe was carefully crafted, tested, and refined until it reached perfection. The joy that came from seeing people's faces light up when tasting her treats was the greatest reward.
As her passion grew, so did the demand for her baked goods. Encouraged by the overwhelming positive feedback and the sheer joy her treats brought to others, Umm Yahya decided to turn her passion into a bakery business.
From Kitchen to Community
With relentless determination and a burning desire to share her creations with a wider audience, Umm Yahya embarked on an incredible journey. Starting small from her home kitchen in Eagan, Minnesota, she began taking orders from friends, neighbors, and local community members.
Word quickly spread about the exceptional quality and taste of her baked goods. What began as occasional orders for special events soon turned into a steady stream of requests for her signature cookies, cakes, and pastries.
Today, Umm Yahya's Bakery has become a beloved name in the Minnesota baking scene. While we've grown, our commitment remains the same: to create delicious, homemade treats using only the finest ingredients and to share the joy of freshly baked goods with our community.
