The Gingered Peach

The Gingered Peach was founded in 2014 with the goal of turning out approachable, delicious baked goods with an eye toward nostalgia. Founder and head baker Joanne Canady-Brown makes all of her beloved creations by hand, using only pure butter, milk, eggs, flour, and other real ingredients — no boxed mixes or shortcuts here! They’re not reinventing the wheel here, and that’s the point: these are classic, old-fashioned baked goods, and they’ll bring back some serious childhood memories.

Her cinnamon buns are soft, gooey, and sell out daily; her huge cookies clock in at over 4 inches in diameter; her super-fudgy brownies are made with high-end semisweet dark chocolate; and her old-fashioned pound cake is dense yet soft, and lent extra moisture and tang from European-style butter and Philadelphia cream cheese. One bite and you’ll understand what put this little mom & pop bakery on the map!
