Walk into the new bakery on West St. Paul Avenue, and you will be greeted with the smell of fresh bakery items from the kitchen and Gloria Landa’s smiling face.

When Buttercream Bakery opened two weeks ago, it made its return to Waukesha after being closed for several years. Landa and her husband, Francisco Flores, previously owned a bakery on East Main Street but closed in 2008 because of parking problems and the small space, she said.

“We decided to close and put all of our equipment in storage,” Landa said.

But they are back in the bakery business. The bakery offers cakes, wedding cakes, pastries, bread, cookies, jellies, donuts and sandwiches.

“It is going well. The customers like it and everyone says they like it,” Landa said. “(Flores) puts in new things every day. He doesn’t do the same old – he likes to change everything.”
