Deanna Gualtieri has had a love for baking since childhood. She's making that passion into a career with her upcoming business.

Gualtieri's Bakery is at 420 East 9th Street, Rochester.

Gualtieri has humble beginnings that started in her own kitchen, baking for family and friends. When people began asking to buy some of her extra baked goods, Gualtieri was soon inspired to try selling some of her items at the Rochester Farmers Market.

The idea customers enjoying her products, and coming back for more, started a new passion in Gualtieri.

Gualtieri made a big leap when finally deciding to have her own storefront in Rochester. With building construction still finishing up at the bakery, Gualtieri hopes to have everything open by the end of January. 

Gualtieri says she plans on having the full-service bakery open Tuesday to Saturday.
