The bakery has been a household name in Dayton for generations when it comes to donuts, cakes, cookies and other fresh pastries. Hammons said they are now serving four generations.
Her favorite part of owning the bakery is the “wonderful customers that have become our bakery family and choose and trust us to celebrate and share in their life’s special moments.”
“The smiles we are greeted with as they enter our store – it’s magic,” she said.
As for what’s next, Hammons said the shop will continue creating deliciousness and she encouraged the community to reach out if they have any new ideas. She also thanks her staff for all of their hard work each and every day.
“Baking is our passion and even though we scan the internet, cookbooks (and) food shows, the possibilities in the baking world are forever changing,” Hammons said. “Extra taste buds helping us is the best recipe to success.”
Ashley’s Pastry Shop, located at 21 Park Avenue in Oakwood, is open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. The shop accepts cash, check, Venmo and PayPal.
For today’s celebration, the cupcakes will be mini size and the 41 cent glazed donuts will have a limit of six. For more information, visit the shop’s Facebook page or website.
