About

Founded in 2010, Scratch Baking began as a small bakeshop tucked behind the Milford train station.  In 2018, we moved to a bigger location on the Milford green with an expanded menu and larger staff.  Every year, we keep on growing and striving to offer new products and services to meet the needs of our community.

All our products are made in house from real ingredients.  Each loaf of bread is shaped by hand – no shortcuts here!  If you ever try one of our products are aren’t satisfied, let us know!  Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction – from the moment you enter our big red door to the last crumb, we strive for friendly service and top-notch products.

Scratch Baking is owned by Lesli Flick, a graduate of Union College and trained at the Institute of Culinary Education (formerly Peter Kump’s).  Lesli began her professional baking career in 2002 under the 2002 Pastry Chef of the Year and Food Network regular Andrew Shotts of Garrison Confectioners.  Lesli’s desserts have graced the pages of Food and Wine, Oprah Winfrey’s O-Magazine, Wired and Connecticut Cottages and Gardens.  She has been a contributor to three acclaimed cookbooks, including the SONO Baking Company Cookbook.  Her cakes have been featured on the Martha Stewart Show and STYLE Network’s Art of Wedding Cakes 2.  

Our team is full of brilliant bakers, working hard every day to produce the best baked goods possible.  We are so grateful to our amazing team that keep making our bakery the best it can be!  Stop by and say hi to everyone – we can’t wait to see you!
