The Baker of Baker City

Jenny Mowe is busy today, just as she’s been most days in the years since she found out she could make a really great cheesecake. I’m inside her shop, Sweet Wife Baking, in the heart of downtown Baker City in Eastern Oregon. It’s a blustery midweek morning here. Outside, the icy knuckles of the mighty Blue Mountains hold firm to the east and provide a gorgeous backdrop to the historic, Old West-style storefronts along Main Street. Inside the shop, the atmosphere is warm and crackling with a sweet, caffeinated energy.

I ate there this winter. It was sooo good! Nice atmosphere to hang out there.

One of my close friends ( she is passed away now though) lived in Powers, Oregon when she was quite young. She'd be way before your time. We have friends in Baker City ( actually Haines) too.

We love you, Jenny. Such a wonderful business.
Congratulations on your success.
