Jen’s Sweet Treats, a longtime bakery in Cudahy, will close its storefront on May 31, with the owner planning to reopen on a smaller, home-based scale in Tupelo, Mississippi. She said health concerns and her upcoming 62nd birthday influenced the decision, according to TMJ4. The shop will remain open until the closing date to fulfill existing orders and serve regular customers one last time.
"I've had so many customers over the years, many who I now call my friends," the owner wrote on Facebook, as reproduced by TMJ4. She described the move as bittersweet, a goodbye to Wisconsin but not to the Jen's Sweet Treats name, which she plans to keep alive as a cottage operation in Mississippi.
Community role and fundraisers
The bakery has doubled as a local fundraising engine, donating proceeds to Honor Flight and other causes and organizing bake sales for first responder families, according to FOX6. Neighbors and civic leaders have regularly turned to Jen's for community drives, and the owner has been publicly praised for her steady stream of charitable work.
Orders and contact
Customers with standing orders or custom cakes are being asked to contact the bakery directly. The shop's contact page lists Jen Clark as owner and provides a phone number and email for appointments, per the business website. The bakery has also urged followers to keep an eye on its social channels for updates on remaining hours and details about the transition to the Tupelo cottage setup.
For Cudahy residents, the closure marks the end of a neighborhood institution and the start of a quieter chapter for its owner. Fans looking to say thank you, share a memory, or squeeze in a final order are being encouraged to stop by before the May 31 closing date.
