I grew up in Trotwood. We used to have the Village Bakery, at the "Y" intersection at Wolf Creek & Main Street/Free Pike, next to Rust's Sohio. We used to love that bakery. They always used to sponsor a team in the Trotwood Boys Baseball Club.

Every Saturday morning in the early to mid-sixties, our family would walk from our house in Belmont to
Rosemann's bakery on Wayne Ave. Roseman's had the usual wide assortment of donuts, loaves of bread and
rolls, but also had a wonderful assortment of cream
and jellied pasteries. We went to Roseman's almost
every Saturday for 5 years.

Let's not forget the pretzel bakeries, K@R and Smales. Their products are fantastic and as a former Daytonian, now living in TN and an extensive traveler, let me say that I have never encountered another local pretzel bakery, good or bad, anywhere (else).

I don't know about K&R but Smales is still there selling some darn fine pretzels. I remember as a kid in the 50's guys would come around to the school yards at recess carrying large grocery bags full of soft pretzels. Six cents a piece. I wonder what would happen today if a guy showed up at a school ground carrying a bag of goodies? They'd probably lock down the school and call in SWAT. Ah well, times change.

K&R is still in business. I live down the street from it. It is ran by the daughter of the orginal owner. It is on Flesher Avenue right off Patterson Road close to Woodman. Soft pretzels are 56 cents each now. Plus they have a wide variety of the old fashioned candies that we used to get as kids like the powdered sugar waffles.

There was a bakery right next to Shawan Acres, the first bldg. to the north on the same side of Main. I used to deliver the Journal Herald in the area. The baker would allow us paper boys to come in the back door, must have been around 5 or 6 in the morning. I think he enjoyed the company. We would walk thru the bakery to the front of the store and pick out what we wanted. What a memory, fresh, warm donuts in the middle of the night for a 12yr old boy!! I can not remember the name of the Bakery, think it started with a 'D'?

My grandmother lived on Merrimac, and we frequented the
bakery on North Main often. I remember it as Williams
bakery. The best thing about Williams were the made from scratch sugar cookies - best I ever had.
Right near the bakery was Victor Drugs. Many of my
1960 baseball cards came from Victor!

Henry's Bakery in the 500 block of Salem Ave. (near North Ave.) had the best cream-filled donuts. This was a must-stop location before and after delivering Sunday morning papers.
The Cake Box Bakery on N. Gettysburg had the best glazed donuts in the '70s and '80s when Joe Rocky owned the place.

Thanks 'icsalum', I believe you got it right, I remember the bakery on North Main as Williams Bakery. I grew up at 217 Fernwood. Used to go there all the time as a kid. Not sure when it closed? When I would go there early in the morning as I was delivering papers Mr. Williams I will call him, was doing his thing making donuts. The smells were terrific! I remember eating warm glazed donuts!!!! What a memory, they were sure good.

I used to work right across the footbridge from K&R.
We'd walk over and get pretzels every Friday after work.
Weekend Guests went crazy for them.
My Dad used to bowl at McCooks every Weds night.
He'd bring home Jungs donuts for our breakfast.
The one on Dorthy Lane became my morning stop on the way to work.
There used to be a very good bakery in the Stumps Plaza at Dorthy and Woodman.
I delivered the Journal and would stop in there the morning after collection day.
It later became my coffee/pecan roll stop walking to Fairmont East....lol!

SanRae Bakery in Kettering on SanRae Dr. We lived a few blocks away and it had all kinds of penny candy back then. We used to go around and find pop bottles and cash them in and buy candy. They had great donuts, Davey Crocketts were the best. Now there is a tool shop in place of SanRae Bakery. Great Childhood memories.

I frequently go to smales on saturday for Hard and soft pretzels.Once you tasted their's, others don't compare much. They have been in business as long as I can remember and I think they will also ship them to where you are.

I lived right behind William's bakery on North Main and woke up every morning to the smell of donuts frying and bread baking. And yes, we always went in the back door. At the end of the day, kids would come from Shawn Acres with big baskets and Cecil Williams, the owner, would fill them with bake goods that had not sold that day. When I was about 10, I baked a cake for my mother's birthday and told Mr. Williams about it but said it was not pretty like his cakes. He told me to go get it and he decorated it.

Riverdale Rat--Don't know for sure if the address was Leo St, but my kindergarten class had a field trip to the Bluebird bakery to watch them bake pies.
Does anybody remember a Bolenbacher's(sp?) Bakery? It must have been in NW Dayton. Dad used to bring their doughnuts and Italian bread home.

tnuch123, icsalum and jvc-cw1969: Thanks for the reminder about Williams bakery. I was one of the kids that came from Shawen Acres in the evenings to pick up donuts/pastries to delivery to the different cottages. I think though that the drug store was Becker Drugs. Also, right next to the bakery was The Razors Edge barber shop. As this was in the day of razor cutting hair, Don Porter, who knew my cottage pop, got permission and used me in his classes at school to learn the technique on. The Siebenthaler and Main was pretty cool area.

Candy44, I grew up in Trotwood and my parents owned Nelson Bros. Florist on Little Richmond Road. I went to school with a girl named Julie whose parents owned the bakery. Are you related to her? I remember going to the bakery with my parents to get cakes and cookies. I loved their baked goods. When I drive by it today, I always think about that and wish they were still in business.

My dad worked at Miami Maid bakery and then Pennington. He delivered the bread/buns, etc., to the downtown restaurants and all of the White Tower restaurants for many many years. I still remember stopping by Miami Maid on the way home from visiting my grandparents on Sunday evenings and dad would pick up a dozen freshly made glazed donuts. They were the best ! And on many a Saturday after work he would bring home a BlueBird chocolate cake.

MikeH, where did you go to school? I lived on Fernwood, went to E.J. Brown, my name is Jeff Crews. There were quite a few kids from Shawn Acres at Brown. Trying to remember names, Francis Shoup, Minor Turner. My mom drove a school bus in and out of Shawn Acres for a long time in the late 50's and early 60's, Lois Crews was her name. I used to walk up to the orphanage and come in the back gate to play on the grounds with some of my friends there. Swam in the pool, played in the Gym. Always had a good time. I graduated from Colonel White, Class of 1969.

bbehri - of course I remember that thriving corner! The
amazing thing about Watervliet and Smithville, is that they were rich in all manner of retail and entertainment locations. You mentioned Parkmoor, Belmont Bakery, and the old church. There was also a
Treasure Chest Toys, Clark's Drug store, Pizza King, Max's shoes, Belmont Bowling Alley etc.. all within 1
block from the corner. There was much more further in
all directions on Smithville and Watervliet. A true small town Main street!

Candy44, your family was responsible for some great childhood memories of mine. My mom used to take us to the Trotwood Village Bakery to order our birthday cakes. We got to pick the little toys that went on top of the cakes -- your bakery always had the best stuff! I remember one year I got a cake with all these little Disney figures on top of it. Believe it or not, I still have some of those little figures, more than 45 years later.

Thanks jre1278 for the attempt at the New York Apple Cake recipe. Not the right one though. The dessert wasn't really a cake at all but sort of a bar type cookie with a consistency similar to a brownie. There were raisins as well in the recipe.
Still hoping someone can help me out! Butler was the last name of the family that owned the bakery.
candy44......please, please.....do you have the recipe???

Sorry for the long delay: Hi Jeff, I remember your mom the bus driver. Minor Turner and I were in Cottage 1 together. Francia Shoup, (skinny girl) also had several brothers: James, PeeWee and the middle brother's name escapes me. I'm sure I played some of the stuff with you there and I grauated from Fairview in 1969, but had some kids that also went to Colonel White.

Anything from the Dixie Donut Shop and the Glazed Pecan rolls at Woody's. BTW. My first ever paying job was to sweep out a garage after a race car team finished working for the day. I was paid 50 cents and I bought a pint of Meadow Gold Chocolate milk and a blueberry, BlueBird pie (round w/ tin pie pan) and had change to put in my pocket. The pie was a dime and the chocolate milk was a dime. Boy, I was really on top of the world at 10 years old (1957).

Hey Paul H. here's a thumb's up for Dixie Donut. That was my Dad's place. He started the business in 1962. If you were a regular you were probably a victim of one of his practical jokes. Best baker in town.

Sandy1969. There were a few of us 'frisch's cruise and street racer' folks that used to go there for late night coffee and pastry. There was da young fella that worked there, that often engaged us in philosophical and religious discussions. No one ever got upset and most of us liked it. I believe those discussions had a part in me being Baptized in the summer of 74 at the ripe old age of 27. I don't remember his name, but he had sandy red hair and wore glasses.
Anyway, it was an enjoyable time for me.
