Bambi Williams assembles oatmeal cream pies Wednesday in her kitchen in Mechanic Falls. She opened Baked By Bambi in October and is moving soon to a retail storefront.
MECHANIC FALLS — Growing up, Bambi Williams played ‘visit my bakery’ instead of playing house. Living in New York for almost a decade, she worked in a school and catered on the side, introducing friends and colleagues to Maine whoopie pies, an instant hit.
Back in Maine in 2012, baking took a back burner to family and career. Furloughed from a day care job last spring, she started up again.
Williams opened Baked By Bambi from her home in October, partly, she said, from a renewed love of baking and partly to show her kids that you’re never too old to go for it.
