There’s nothing quite so comforting as fresh-baked goodies. Whether it’s donuts or cookies, bread or cake, baked goods carry nostalgia and decadence, love and happiness.

In the Fox Valley around Appleton there’s a family-owned bakery that’s been serving the folks in the area since 1934. Now in their third generation of ownership, the Manderfields bring the very best in bread, cakes, cookies and more to Appleton and Menasha.

Way back in 1934, Frank and Marie Manderfield opened their first bakery in Appleton. Their son Dennis had his own bakery for a while and then reintroduced Manderfields to the area in 1979.
