So Whats Ella Paulines?

Ella Pauline was a real person. No its not me, I'm Stephanie, but she was my Great Grandmother. She passed away a long time ago, but I can still remember sitting on the carpet under her kitchen table munching away on cookie dough as she pressed out our family's favorites on the table above me. I truly believe that those earliest memories are what started me on the path I now find myself.

And so I decided to name my business after her because of the love I felt in her kitchen. And I like the way her name sounds in my mouth.

Back to the question:

Ella Pauline's specializes in seasonal treats, cakes, and nostalgic desserts. We source as many of our ingredients as we can from local, Michigan companies. We've started out small, right now we're at our local farmers market on Saturdays where we sell products like homemade donuts, banana bread and cinnamon runaways (a cinnamon bun cupcake in a cup with a fork so you can eat it on the go!). I plan to expand our product line soon, but as I'm sure some of you can imagine having a full time day job doesn't leave much room for experimentation right now.

 

Every week we generate more sales and more loyal customers and I love interacting with our community and finding out what they think about our goodies. It's been a lot of fun so far, a lot of work but a lot of fun too! The dream is to one day (Hopefully soon!) occupy a storefront, where we'll offer all manner of delicious goodies.

 

I hope you'll come down and try some of our yummy treats!

 

Find us @ the Hastings Famers Market Saturdays from 9-1!
