Dear Customers and Friends,
After careful consideration, I have decided to close Liz Marden Bakery & Café, as of July 15, 2012.
Brides with pending orders will be contacted this week regarding refunds due.
I have loved being part of the thriving energetic communities of Kennett Square and Hockessin. I am deeply grateful for my talented staff, my loyal customers and for the friendships I have developed during the past 25 years.
I am not yet sure what the future holds except I intend to continue pursuing this culinary profession that I love. And I am hopeful that our paths will cross again.
Sincerely,
Liz Marden
