Granny Ruth's Bakery is more than a typical bakery—it's a family-owned business built around the baking traditions of owner Stephanie Venable and her grandmother, Ruth McCraw, the inspiration behind the name. Stephanie often tells the story of standing on a chair beside her grandmother as a small child, helping sift flour and learning the recipes and techniques that eventually became the foundation of the bakery.
Founded in 2009, the bakery focuses on made-from-scratch desserts using high-quality ingredients sourced from local suppliers whenever possible. The business has become especially well known throughout the Mount Airy area for custom cakes, wedding cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes, pound cakes, pies, and other specialty desserts as well as coffee.
