Becky Bielawski can’t remember exactly when she started baking, because she’s been doing it her whole life.
Last month she launched a bake shop in Zionsville where she sells her cakes, eclairs, cookies and more. But desserts aren’t the only thing found at Becky’s Bake Shop and Floral, as also opened a flower shop with her bakery.
“It’s a one-of-a-kind deal, because most people don’t do both, they do one or the other,” she said. “I wanted to get into the floral end of it and the wedding cake industry, and I just like flowers. I’ve got some cool arrangements, and I do a fair amount of wedding cakes.”
Bielawski operated a shop in Zionsville approximately 10 years ago, but she closed up shop when an insurance company purchased her building.
And in addition to her selections of desserts, the Zionsville resident takes personal orders and decorates cakes to the request of the customer.
“I like them all,” she said of her cake designs. “I don’t know if I have a favorite, just decorating is fun. It’s something different every day and a challenge.”
Becky’s Bake Shop and Floral, 12115 N. Michigan Road, is open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. Bielawski can be found at the shop all of those days except Saturday, when she’s selling her goods at the Whitestown Farmers Market.
Despite her daylong hours, Bielawksi doesn’t do lunch yet, as she said she wants to get her feet wet with the bakery and floral combination.
“As opposed to grocery stores, I bake on a daily basis or per order, so it’s all fresh,” she said.
