Supporting Local Businesses Matters Now More Than Ever

In the past few weeks, I have seen many news stories and social media posts about local restaurants and bakeries closing or downsizing. As a fellow small business owner—and one who recently took the leap to open a brick-and-mortar location—this absolutely terrifies me. It is a stark reminder of how fragile small businesses are and just how much we rely on community support to survive.

Personally speaking, when you shop at Becky the Bakester, you’re supporting more than just a bakery—you’re supporting a dream, local jobs, and the unique character of Westfield. Your purchases allow us to sponsor groups like the Westfield High School Band and Dance Team, donate to local non-profit raffles and events, source ingredients and retail products from other local businesses, and craft unique and delicious treats for you and your families.

Every pie, cake pop or cookie you buy makes a difference. It helps us keep the lights on, pay our team, and continue doing what we love most—baking for you and our community.

Small businesses like mine don’t have the cushion that big chains do, which is why every purchase, referral, and kind review matters so much. Thank you for supporting local and for helping us remain a part of what makes Westfield special—we are truly grateful and deeply appreciative of your support.

❤️ Becky
