Seven bakers serve up treats at Sweet Natalie’s in Geneva

GENEVA – A “confection collection” has opened in Geneva and features homemade desserts from seven bakers who share kitchen space.

Ilene Keivel hatched the idea in September and officially opened Sweet Natalie’s Dec. 23 in the lower level of the Charles B. Wells House at 228 S. Third St. in Geneva. The shop is named after her 5-year-old daughter, Natalie.

Keivel said she wanted to share her love of baking with others. Six bakers rent out blocks of time to bake in the shop’s commercial kitchen. There’s one rule: All the bakers have to make something different so they aren’t competing with another.
