Just Bakery is a program offered by the nonprofit Just Dane, a social justice organization that helps those who have been incarcerated. Students accepted into the program embark on a 12-week educational and vocational training program to learn a variety of skills, including baking. While the program equips individuals with valuable knowledge and experience, Just Bakery is also a fully functioning bakery with a wide variety of delicious treats available for purchase. All of the treats are created by members of the teaching staff and students, and all proceeds go back into the program to continue its mission of education and advocacy.
Take a look at some of the snacks you can enjoy!
These dark chocolate cookies are perfectly paired with tart, chewy cherries to create the perfect balance of flavors. This delectable treat strikes the right balance between crunchy and soft, and it’s delicious by itself or paired with a scoop of cold ice cream.
This is an impeccable spin on traditional cheesecake. The base of the treat is a perfectly golden, creamy cheesecake, topped with a layer of Oreo crumble and set on an Oreo cookie crust. This dessert has the perfect level of sweetness and a flawless texture.
Who knew a vanilla cupcake could taste so special and unique? This velvety vanilla cake is topped with perfectly piped buttercream frosting. If you’re looking for a treat that is not too sweet and looks Instagram-worthy, this cupcake is for you.
Move over, Stella’s Hot & Spicy Cheese Bread. The JustBakery cheesy rolls are here. These mini cheese balls are toasted to a light orange color with a soft, fluffy dough that coats an ooey, gooey center of melting cheese. These rolls are a wonderfully savory addition to any meal.
A fluffy whipped cream is sandwiched between two chocolatey, cookie-cake treats. This pie is rolled in a layer of rainbow sprinkles, which add the right crunch to every bite. These are best enjoyed right out of the fridge for the ideal consistency.
This soft-yet-flaky dough is filled with the perfect amount of whipped cream and topped with a gorgeous layer of shiny chocolate. The chilled chocolate pairs flawlessly with the
warmth of the dough and filling. The airiness of the cream and crust is complemented by the denser chocolate, creating an amazing sweet treat.
This savory snack is toasted to a beautiful golden brown, seasoned to perfection with herbs that complement the warm, doughy inside. The texture of this bread is ideal, with a crunchy outside and a light, fluffy inside.
