In the 1950’s, Grandpa John was an apprentice in Germany studying the art of baking until he came to America at 18 years old with a dollar and a dream.
He worked in bakeries mastering his craft before opening Hummel Hummel Bake Shop in 1968 with a little help from his brother, wife, and mother. His son Derek, who started coming to the bakery as a young child, spent his teen years learning the traditional ways from his father.
Fast forward to 1998 when Derek and his wife Susan took over the shop, continuing the family tradition along with their young daughter Samantha.
