Word of mouth has been my absolute best advertisement so far,\u201d said Groff.<br \/>\nKelly\u2019s Kitchen opened in August at its 4300 Route 50 location, and business is booming. She had been baking and selling treats from her home, growing her business at such a fast pace that she knew it was time to bring it to a new location. The bakery is stocked with cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pastries and all types of desserts.<!--more--><br \/>\n\u201cI started baking small orders for friends and family a little over a year ago. After hearing such positive feedback, I started expanding my customer base to the community. It wasn\u2019t long before I was actually turning people away because I was getting too busy. I couldn\u2019t keep up with the demand in my small home kitchen. I knew I needed to find a commercial location where I had more space. I ended up finding the perfect spot and am so grateful to say it\u2019s going amazing so far,\u201d said Groff.<br \/>\nThe new location includes a commercial kitchen, a pick-up site for custom orders and seating for customers to enjoy a fresh cup of Kru coffee with a treat. She specializes in cinnamon rolls, muffins, cupcakes, cookies and cakes and pies by the slice. The bakery also serves Saratoga Tea &amp; Honey Co. teas.<br \/>\n\u201cWhile I\u2019ve always loved baking, I didn\u2019t develop such a passion for it until this past year. It finally hit me that this is what I am supposed to be doing,\u201d said Groff.<br \/>\nShe said it is hard to pick just one customer favorite but noted the peanut butter cup and lemon raspberry cupcakes have been big hits. She also makes customized cakes for birthdays, showers, rehearsal dinners and other special events. Groff is asking customers to plan ahead since the production schedule at Kelly\u2019s Kitchen is almost booked for September and October.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m just hoping to be successful and make it though this first year in business. I\u2019m hoping to possibly expand in the near future, adding small breakfast and lunch options to my everyday menu as well as offer baking birthday parties for kids,\u201d said Groff.<br \/>\nKelly\u2019s Kitchen is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to noon on Sunday.
