Husband and wife team, Erica Leeds and Dale Rogers, make up Pastry Babies.

Ooh baby, baby. That's what we said when we tasted Pastry Babies biscotti. 

Pastry Babies is a family-owned, small batch, gourmet production bakery, located in East Nashville, TN. It was founded in 2011 by the husband and wife team of Dale Rogers and Erica Leeds. Their products are top-shelf and all natural. Here's their story.

Erica’s grandfather, Charles, was a baker who owned the The NY Bakery in Rochester, NY. She spent many a day learning to decorate cakes in his shop. As a result, Erica inherited the baking gene and has baked for family and friends for years; preferring to create biscotti, scones, and cookies to cakes. A Masters-level Social Worker, she served the community for 20 years helping people without means to get the services they needed. In 2011 she shifted directions to pour her passions for baking and people into baking  as a profession.

Dale is a Web & Instructional Designer and Assistant Professor of Multimedia & Web Design at Nashville State Community College. Dale’s passion is design. Therefore the packaging, labeling, logo and web site fall into his domain. His goal is to ensure the design reflects the quality of the products inside and the web site gives you the information you need and the ability to purchase our products online.

Pastry Babies specializes in all natural gourmet pastries that are the product of years of honing Erica’s recipes. As Erica’s grandfather Charles used to say, “It’s better with butter.” All of their recipes use certified organic butter, organic cage-free eggs, and only the highest quality ingredients.

Biscotti is their flagship product and is in a league of it’s own. Compared with other biscotti, theirs is denser and incorporates more complex texture and flavor combinations. Their biscotti holds up well to dipping, yet is soft enough to enjoy alone as a cookie. 

Small batch and all natural from Nashville. Their products are a little bite of heaven. Ooh baby baby!

You can find their pastries at The Produce Place, both Whole Foods Markets (Green Hills and Franklin) and Herban Market in Franklin. Or orderlinline at Pastrybabies.com.
