The History of Mills Bakery and the business story:
Head Master Baker, John Cabrera started at Mills Bakery in November of 1998 at the age of 14 to earn a few dollars during his freshman year in high school. Starting out as a dishwasher, John quickly learning simple baker tasks such as dipping cookies with sprinkles and chocolate to learning how to use a pastry bag. All through high school he worked side by side with seasoned bakers and realized this business was for him.
He later received his associates degree in baking & pastry arts from Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island. Upon graduation he became Head Baker of the Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. After Vegas, he knew he wanted to own his own business. An opportunity came about to own Mills Bakery, the very place in which he learned his craft, and he jumped on it. He is proud to say that he is the owner of a small town landmark which has been around for almost a century.

There is nothing like Mills Bakery at the Christmas holiday season. I stop in for all sorts of baked items to take to my mother’s, who loves their doughnuts and turnovers. I will bring desserts down too when we are having a meal at the house. Over the years, I have taken the best pictures at the store as Christmas has gotten bigger every year since the renovation.
