5 Questions with Paige’s Bakehouse, Paige Perry
In an effort to get to know more about the people who make Round Rock such a great place to live, I am resurrecting a series I did years ago called “5 Questions With….” As I did in the past, I will be asking a few questions of interesting people of Round Rock – people who work hard behind the scenes, people who strive to make our city great, people who make fun events & places possible in our city, and just cool folks you need to know.
But I wanted to take it a step further and reach out to as many businesses owners in Round Rock as I can. I want to catch up with them to learn how their business is doing under these conditions. And see if & how we can help keep them in businesses. I think you will be happy to hear some of the unique ways that businesses have adapted to the changes or are making plans to offer new products and services once they do open.
For years, the cake creations that came out of Paige’s Bakehouse took my breath away! I mean, they are true masterpieces (see photos below). And then I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of these cakes and she is just as sweet as her baked goods are (I know – bad pun).
As you can imagine, COVID-19 has impacted business for Paige Perry of Paige’s Bakehouse. But she has been very creative in her offerings – Holiday Cookies, Paint-at-Home Cookie Kits and more!
