About The BakerHood
Helping Local Bakers Get Discovered
The BakerHood is a local discovery platform that makes it easier for customers to find home bakers in their community, explore their work, and connect with them directly.
We started in Erie, Pennsylvania, with a simple idea: talented local bakers shouldn’t be difficult to find, and customers shouldn’t have to rely only on word of mouth or endless social media searches to discover them.
Our goal is to create a more visible, connected local baking community — one where independent bakers can showcase what they do, and customers can more easily find the right baker for what they need.
Why Local Matters
Behind every local baking business is a real person building something of their own.
Choosing a local baker supports small businesses in your community while giving you access to handmade products, personal service, and creations you often won’t find in larger stores.
The BakerHood helps make those connections easier.

Founder
As a home baker herself, Paniz experienced how difficult it could be for small baking businesses to get discovered by local customers. She created The BakerHood to make that connection simpler and to give local bakers another place to showcase their work.
What started as a local idea in Erie is being built with a larger vision: making it easier to discover local bakers in communities beyond Erie as The BakerHood grows.
