Rising to the Occasion

Martin and Linda did.

Martin loved bread … no I mean really loved bread … it almost became an obsession for him to learn how to bake the perfect baguette … For his birthday, his wife Linda knew exactly what to get him … a work shift in a famous New York City bakery. That’s how much Martin loved bread … well pretty soon Martin & Linda took his passion one step further and built a little bakehouse in the backyard of their Caledon, Ontario home. Soon Martin and Linda were making all kinds of bread … and not being able to consume it all … they started giving their excess output to family and friends … who of course wanted more … and encouraged the couple to consider opening a store … well they did .. a little retail bakery and café at the corner of King and Spadina in Toronto … and the demand just exploded from there so they opened a commercial bakery and began delivering fresh bread to restaurants and grocery stores all across Toronto … and the rest is history.

Today, 25 years later, the commercial baking company Linda Haynes and Martin Connell started in their backyard to take Martin’s hobby to the next level has its baked goods in restaurants and supermarkets all across Canada the United States, and even the Caribbean … Ace Bakery

Ace Bakery is a great idea because taking a hobby and mixing in a little business saavy can make you a lot of dough.
