What's Happening

Every neighborhood deserves a corner bakery. Today, Swirly Girls Gourmet Bakery opens its first shop on Daybreak’s SoDa Row Village Center— bringing homegrown recipes, custom cakes, and everyday treats to the heart of the community.

Meet the Swirly Girls

The shop is the dream of Debi Jensen and Amberleigh Farrell—two Daybreak residents who turned their neighborhood baking and catering into a full‑service bakery. Debi brings 25 years of bakery experience and a reputation for Sunday‑night porch tastings; Amberleigh adds 10 years in catering and special events and a lifelong love of baking that began in her grandmother’s kitchen.

What’s on the Menu

You’ll find fresh, made‑from‑scratch classics alongside celebration‑ready showstoppers. Order a custom cake, or stop by for something sweet after dinner or a movie.

  • Cakes & wedding cakes
  • Cupcakes & dessert bars
  • Cookies, rolls, danish & croissants
  • Hand‑dipped chocolates
  • Gluten‑free treats (selection varies daily)
  • Coke products on tap

Planning an event? The Swirly Girls also offer catering by special order, including box lunches, dessert trays, sandwich trays, and appetizers.

Settle in at one of the in‑shop tables—including a kids table sized for little bakers.
