Happy International Women’s Day from all of us here at JR Dessert Bakery! 

As a female owned (and operated) small business we fully support the development of strong women at our bakery and around the world. From a very young age I watched my mom (JR) break barriers in the food industry and can only hope to follow in her footsteps.

We are extremely dedicated to giving women - especially working moms and immigrants - the opportunity to not just have a job but a meaningful career.

This year’s theme is “gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow.” Now is the time to talk about it with your co-workers, friends, family and children. Let our actions today make a difference for the future of our daughters and granddaughters like my mom’s did for me!
