TALLMADGE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A growing West Michigan bakery business is opening a brick-and-mortar location near Marne.
Mother-daughter duo Darci Hoehne and Meghan Jurrians first started Novel Pastries in September of 2021. Jurrians, who was fresh out of culinary school at the time, handled the bakery side, while her mom worked on back-end things like legalities and finances.
The family has a Celtic background, so they started serving pastries like Guinness brownies at local Celtic festivals.
From there, it “just exploded,” Hoehne said.
The two were working out of their kitchen but quickly outgrew cottage law, and they moved to the incubator kitchen in the Downtown Market in Grand Rapids. A West Michigan distillery opened a wholesale account with the pair, carrying their cheesecakes, and they continued seeing great success at the festivals.
