Today, we’re still baking from scratch. Still using the same recipe. Still doing it for the love of the roll.
This is more than a bakery. It’s a legacy we’re proud to carry forward — one swirl at a time.

Our Story
We’re a small, tight-knit team of makers, dreamers, and legacy-builders.
Some of us grew up on Manske Rolls. Others came for the icing and stayed for the mission. We all believe in baking with purpose — staying true to the original while rolling into something even bigger.
We’re here to make every roll melt-in-your-mouth.
And every customer feel like they’re part of something legendary.
