Portland bakery burglaries hurt owners ‘scraping by’

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Johannah Zuniga’s job as the owner of Dream Cakes is bringing dreams of a couple’s wedding day to life. Just up the road on NE Sandy, Ainsley Lods runs Doe Donuts , Portland’s first vegan donut shop.

But both bakeries were broken into in the past few days by someone who took none of the baked goods, only cash and electronics. Both filed police reports and both shared surveillance footage with KOIN 6 News.

Zuniga, who said her shop “lives, breathes and thinks wedding cakes,” told KOIN 6 News she’s been thinking about the shattered glass and alarms that went off early Sunday.

“It was on the 5th we got the alarm call from our phone, a phone notification,” she said. “You have to get dressed as soon as possible, get down there to kind of see what’s happening.”

Dream Cakes surveillance video shows a person sneaking around the shop looking for something to take. Zuniga said he took an old iPad.
