Gisela was born in Geilenkirchen, Germany and developed her culinary talents as a young girl in her uncle’s bakery.

She helped in the kitchen baking special pastries for the townspeople’s delectation. She married and came to the United States in 1977 and delighted friends, family and neighbors with her seasonal baking. She started with simple cookies and soon added her special variety of often-requested muffins and cakes. The muffins proved to be so popular that word spread quickly and now people with no apparent link to Gisela’s original circle of family and friends are calling to order muffins.
