Join us for a coffee and chat with Teresa Jackson, Owner of Gather Bakery.

Gather Bakery, a delightful local hangout in Spruce Grove, is the brainchild of friends Teresa and Ashley.

The story of Gather Bakery began during the challenging times of the Covid pandemic. Ashley noticed a lack of gingerbread houses available in stores, prompting Teresa to showcase her homemade gingerbread kits on Facebook. The response was overwhelming, and orders started pouring in. Working tirelessly until Christmas, Teresa and Ashley baked their hearts out to ensure that everyone could enjoy the magic of gingerbread houses.

Encouraged by the success of their venture, they decided to expand their offerings beyond Christmas. They introduced gingerbread kits for other holidays, including Valentine's Day and Halloween.

In 2023, realizing that their home kitchen could no longer keep up with the growing demand, Teresa and Ashley made the bold decision to open a physical bakery in Spruce Grove. Since its opening, Gather Bakery has become an integral part of the community, serving as a gathering place where people can connect and savor delicious baked goods.
