I always love to hear that a local Lansing business is thriving, which is why I'm so happy to learn that Cakes-A-Bloomin' is still serving up delicious baked goods!

Why Cakes-A-Bloomin’ Almost Closed

In February this year, the original owner announced that they would be retiring after 50 years and that Cakes-A-Bloomin' would close. The previous owner had been battling MS and leukemia for over 20 years.

Cakes-A-Bloomin' in Lansing near the Lansing Mall. The bakery was open for over 50 years before the owner announced they would be retiring and closing the store. However, Cakes-A-Bloomin' never closed because a new, passionate owner has stepped in to continue the same amazing recipes.

However, it was purchased by someone new who's continuing the sweet tradition.

Meet the New Owner, Josie Paterson

The new owner of Cakes-A-Bloomin' is Josie Paterson, who purchased the business in May this year. Despite the business changing hands, it never actually closed and is turning out the same delicious recipes from the same baker. It's just under new ownership.

Josie trained her baking skills for two months before stepping into the business, but she has a lot of skills in her chef's apron because her resume is impressive. She's worked in food or food service in some capacity for over 20 years, managing bars, restaurants, and more.

Lansing Restaurants That Should Be Featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

The Lansing restaurants listed below are gems of the city. If you haven't been to all of them yet, add them to your list. We think Guy Fieri should add them to his list as well so he can feature them the next time he comes back to Lansing for Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
