In the heart of her home kitchen, Connie Doman has built a sweet empire. As the owner of Heaven and Bliss, a state-licensed and registered in-home bakery, Doman combines traditional recipes with modern dietary considerations to create handcrafted, custom-made treats.
“I do anything from cakes, cookies, cupcakes, desserts to wedding cakes,” she says. And she’s not exaggerating. Doman consistently cranks out 200 to 400 custom orders a month, a pace she’s kept for more than two years.
Her menu includes vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free options, all made with love and the legacy of her grandmother and great-grandmother’s recipes.
Everything is by appointment, and pre-orders are essential due to high demand.
Three Treats to Try:
Snickerdoodle Cake A simple yet beloved favorite, this cake is all about the cinnamon-sugar flavor and then covered in a delicious vanilla buttercream. Available in any size — from baby smash cakes to tiered wedding cakes.
Infamous Buckeyes This Ohio favorite is extra special with the base made from peanuts Doman processes herself. Then she combines butter, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla before covering it in chocolate. Fans from four to five counties stock up by the dozen.
Hungarian Nut Roll Moist, nut-packed and available year-round. Locals affectionately call it the “Hungarian Burrito” — because sometimes slicing is unnecessary.
