They also have cakes with elaborate designs of football fields, and cookies with hearts saying “I love Eagles.” They even have cookies with Eagles v. Chiefs helmets.
The Bones family and other staffers were hard at work baking, decorating, and selling goodies as customers stopped in mid-afternoon.
Wearing a retired Eagle Reggie White’s jersey, Pete Gadonas, who works nearby at Trident Land Transfer, stopped in to pick up some afternoon treats.
“Go Birds,” he said, as he purchased some cakes.
Denise Bones opened the bakery in 1990 with her husband, Bill, and mother, Barbara.
The bakery was named after Denise’s father, Clayton Earl III, a Tredyffrin police sergeant who passed away on March 3, 1989.
Denise’s children and grandchildren work in the bakery.
At 3 p.m., as business was picking up, three Conestoga High School students AJ. Mallory, 16, and Zion Puryear, 17, both juniors; and Seena Aminsen, 18, a senior, arrived to work ready to wait on customers.
“Go Birds,” the staffers said, clapping their hands.
