From starting in commercial kitchens creating cookie care packages to now owning a storefront and baking almost 500 cookies a day, Jodi Seidner has been baking practically all her life. Now she bakes out of Sweet Seidner’s, located in Hamden.
”We opened this location in June, and we’ve been in business since November 2015,” Seidner said. “We used to just bake out of a commercial kitchen in Woodbridge and we would just bake and ship from there.”
When Sweet Seidner’s first started they primarily focused on baking and delivering care packages. Seidner said that they were popular around holidays, birthdays, or especially with parents who have kids in college that may need some encouragement during their midterms and exams. The shop’s offerings include kosher options.
Finding the perfect location to open a storefront after nearly seven years of operating was important to Seidner and says that the location in Hamden on Whitney Avenue is great because of the proximity to the schools and cities in the area.
“This building had the perfect feel for me, it was like coming home,” Seidner said. “It is a house from the 1920s, so it has that nostalgic and whimsical feel to it. When you come in here, we want you to feel like you’re coming into your mother’s kitchen and sitting down having freshly baked cookies and milk.”
