Title
Mommie Helen's Bakery
Description
The Original Mommie Helen’s Bakery first opened in 2000 in Colton, CA by founder Dorothy Pryor Rose. Rose’s creations, like her famous sweet potato pie, delighted patrons all over the Inland Empire and received national notoriety by being featured in the Wall Street Journal and "O," the Oprah Winfrey magazine.
Years later the bakery moved to San Bernardino and expanded both their square-footage and their menu. Rose gave over ownership of the bakery to her daughter Tedra Rose and stayed involved as a consultant until her passing in 2016. Tedra continues her mother’s legacy of serving the community mouthwatering desserts. The bakery also served as a location for community service when Tedra partnered with a community organization and invited children at a local school to take a tour of the bakery and learn about its operations.
