About
Step into a world where every bite carries you to a place of warmth, joy, and nostalgia.
Welcome to Off Plum Bakeshop, where each treat is a testament to love, tradition, and life's simple pleasures. Our name, "Off Plum," holds a special significance rooted in cherished memories and family traditions.
Lesley Gilmore, the heart and soul behind Off Plum Bakeshop, began her culinary journey in her grandmother’s kitchen, learning the art of baking from her beloved "Nonie." Nonie's vintage-style pound cake recipe has become a cornerstone of our bakery's offerings, evoking nostalgia and warmth with every bite.
In addition to her culinary inspirations, Lesley's Granddaddy played a pivotal role in shaping her creative spirit. She spent countless hours in his workshop, absorbing his wisdom on mechanics and carpentry. One particular lesson stands out: the importance of embracing imperfections and finding beauty in uniqueness, even if it meant tinkering with the plumbing level until the bubbles lined up perfectly.
Drawing upon these cherished memories, the name "Off Plum" was born. It serves as a tribute to Lesley's grandparents and the invaluable lessons they imparted, as well as a testament to our bakery's commitment to embracing creativity and individuality. Just like the slight tilt of a vintage pound cake or the offbeat charm of a handmade treat, Off Plum celebrates the beauty of life's unique quirks and flavors, inviting customers to savor every moment and every bite.
Off Plum Bakeshop is not just another bakery; it's a journey back in time, a celebration of cherished memories, and a tribute to the enduring bonds of love. Inspired by Lesley's grandparents' remarkable love story, our bakery is dedicated to infusing every aspect with warmth, joy, and life's simple pleasures.
Lesley's daughter-in-love shares in the baking journey with her artistic approach to royal icing, adding a touch of whimsy and elegance to our treats. And Lesley's son serves as the official taste tester, ensuring that every bite meets our high standards of quality and flavor.
But Off Plum Bakeshop is more than delicious treats; it's an experience. Whether treating yourself or sharing with loved ones, our baked goods will surely delight, comfort, and inspire future memories. So why wait?
