"Baking was always a passion for Leo Schulte; he worked in a bakery with his brothers when he was younger. Leo was a cook in the US Army, serving in WWII. In his early years, he attended the Dunwoody Baking School in Minnesota. After marrying Evelyn Diener, the young couple moved to Illinois and made that their home for 11 years.

"During that time, Leo worked in an electrical plant, But it was his final job in Illinois that would solidify his culinary path—he was the head cook at an area hospital. While he was employed as the cook, he began baking items as special treats for the patients. On one of the couple’s return trips to Washington to visit Evelyn’s family, they decided to purchase a vacant lot on west 5th street.Construction was started by Washington contractor Jim Sieve, and completed in 1959. In late October of that year, Leo and Evelyn opened Schulte’s Bakery; the bakery operates out of that same structure today. All five of Leo and Evelyn’s children—Judy, Alice, Leo, Paul and Donna—grew up working in the bakery. Judy and Alice remain in management of the business today.Everything is still made the way they were taught by their dad. All doughnuts and pastries are made fresh daily. They also make and sell breads, cakes and cookies.Their specialty is decorated cakes and cookies for all occasions (even custom requests). All products are made wholesome fresh, without preservatives.

"The Schulte family has dedicated the last 57 years to baking for the people of this community and it has been a sincere pleasure! The support received during this time has been a blessing and helps to continue the dream that was started by Leo and Evelyn in 1959.

Thank you for your continued business,
Judy Thomas and Alice Wehrle" ~ Schulte's Bakery
