History
Cannon's Bakery was established in 1985 by Leah Cannon
Being
the mother of five children, there were always birthdays to celebrate at our
house. Three of my children all have birthdays during the same week in
November.
One year I wanted a local bakery to make a rather large cake for me and they
said
they could not. So that became the start of my "bakery"
business. The children who
attended our parties all soon started to request that I make their cakes too,
and from
there the business blossomed.
In 1976 we opened a cake and candy supply store
in the Meadowood Shopping
Center because there was no place to buy any type of cake decorations locally.
The
only option was to send away for them. When I got to the point I was doing
too many
cakes for family, friends and neighbors in my home, I moved my business into a
part
of the supply store. My children had always helped me decorate cakes while
they
attended school.
After a few years in the supply store we were doing enough cakes to branch out
on
our own. In 1985 we opened a full line bakery in the Astro Shopping Center
and in
just a couple of years we had doubled our size.
Today the bakery is owned and operated by my son, Steven Cannon. Cannon's
still
specializes in "custom" cakes and we can do almost anything you
request. No cake
is too large or too small for us to handle. We are the largest supplier of
wedding and
birthday cakes in Delaware. We have been voted "Reader's Choice"
and "Best of
Delaware" numerous times. Over the years we have made some very good
and loyal
friends, and we truly appreciate all that our customers have done, and still do,
for us.
Thanks to all of you for making us what we are today !
