Lili Adie Laura Potter Founders of LL Bakery

L&L Bakery in Blaine, Washington, celebrates its second anniversary on July 26, highlighting its rapid growth since opening. Founders Lili Adie and Laura Potter began their baking journey over a decade ago, initially taking orders from home before establishing a storefront. Their cakes, often decorated by Lili, are popular due to word-of-mouth referrals, and they currently have wedding cake orders booked well in advance. The bakery creatively incorporates local ingredients, including beer from Beach Cat Brewing, into its offerings. To mark the anniversary, customers will receive a complimentary cookie with each purchase, and a portion of sales will benefit the Blaine Food Bank.

The duo aims to expand with a larger baking facility and multiple shops, emphasizing their connection to the community. Despite facing challenges like electricity capacity, their passion for baking and community engagement remains strong. Their shop has become a beloved local spot, likened to the warmth of a Hallmark movie by customers.
