Want to know more about the Greatest Baker?
Learn MoreTell us about your signature bake and why it's your most popular treat.
Our signature bake is our handcrafted donuts — made fresh each morning from scratch using local ingredients and a touch of family tradition. They’re soft, golden, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Each flavor tells a story of home and community, which is why our customers line up early and say they taste like real homemade love.
Who is your favorite person to bake for and what do you make most for them?
My favorite person to bake for is my wife — the heart behind Simply Tasteful Creations. Baking for her reminds me why we started this dream: to share joy through simple, homemade treats. Her favorite is our classic glazed donut, warm and light with just the right sweetness. Seeing her smile after the first bite is still my favorite part of every bake.
How would you use the $10,000?
We’d use the $10,000 to grow our small hometown bakery by upgrading essential equipment, expanding our kitchen space, and securing our permits so we can serve more of our community. This support would help us continue giving back — from our “Support a Cop” program to local charity drives — and make Simply Tasteful Creations a lasting part of the Allegheny Valley.
