Gloria Cornett opens bakery on Master Street
By Carl Keith Greene / Staff Writer
After about 30 years of producing baked goods from her Keavy home’s kitchen, Gloria Cornett opened her bakery on Master Street Saturday.
Called Gloria’s Just Desserts, just across the street from the Corbin East school building, the bakery can be identified by the pink parking places painted in front.
“I’ve always loved to bake. I’ve done it since the children were small,” she said at the bakery’s ribbon cutting Saturday afternoon.
She said she has taken several classes in baking, the last at New Orleans.
The manager of Goldenberg’s for about five years, Cornett began working on establishing the bakery for about a year.
She said she chose to open a bakery in town because of “the sheer volume” of cakes and other goodies she was baking at her home.
Goodies available at the store include breakfast items, such as doughnuts and pastries.
“We do pies, specialty cakes, wedding cakes, diabetic and weight watcher food, cookies, brownies, and you name it and we do it,” she said.
In the near future will be panini sandwiches, cubans, rubens and “peanut butter and jelly, “maybe with a little bit of banana.”
Bakery hours are Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon.
