Jenny’s Bakery brings generations together with cake
Bui has grown to love making macarons since opening Jenny’s Bakery.
For her 16th birthday, Jenny Bui wanted to make her own birthday cake. Though she ended up burning the cake and feeding it to her dog, her passion for baking never wavered. Her ambition led to the opening of Jenny’s Bakery. What’s special about it? For 15 years, Bui worked at a catering and baking company to help provide for her four children, she said. In June 2004, she opened her rst bakery in Nassau Bay. Repetition and consistency have made Bui a master at her craft, her daughter Nam Din said. Bui said this is what has kept her in business and allowed her to open the second bakery in Friend- swood in April 2019.
From the oven Jenny’s Bakery is known for its handcrafted and customized tiered cakes. “If the customer wants something, they just show me a picture and I can do it,” Bui said. A family a air Bui makes all kinds of cakes for special occa- sions. Because of this, she has gotten to know her customers more personally and through their lineage, she said. “It allows her to be in the community, but to stay within the families, also,” Din said. “So she gets to know all generations of each family that comes back to us.”
