BIZNOTE: More treats! The Fine Baking Co. opening West Seattle storefront

Another change in south Morgan Junction: We noticed a big COMING SOON sign while passing 6971 California SW, and stopped to check out the sign next to it that explained what’s “coming soon.” The Fine Baking Co. is on the way to the middle space in the building (where massage clinics have been located in recent years). Via the email address on the window sign, we contacted baker Chely Smithgall, who told us:

I’m a home baker with a cottage food permit; since I had such a great turnout and feedback from people I decided to open up my storefront! So excited about it!!!

I do cakes, cupcakes, cake pops, personalized printed cookies and treats; they can be ordered or just come to buy at the store.

Not sure when we will get permits and all that, but hoping to be able to open before holidays – hopefully October!

You can see some of her creations here.

It’s in the first line of the story.

I continue to assert that Seattle’s claim to culinary fame is our sweets scene! Glad to have one more shop on board haha!

Sometimes I like to amuse myself by seeing how well I know West Seattle when new businesses are mentioned and the address is given and I’ll guess the approximate block give or take, but if the debuting photos show a great reflection in the window (as this story photo does) I try and guess by the buildings across the street in said photo. I do this ‘before’ I Google the address and look up. I was right on with this one! I just didn’t realize it was the long time old Jan’s Beauty Shop before I googled it.

Jan’s is the south unit, this will be the middle unit, an alteration shop is the north unit.

  Ohhh.. that’s what Google showed when I did look it up finally, Jan’s.
