Homestead's National Art Honor Society Chapter gathers monthly to explore art service opportunities, special art making activities and organize our annual Gallery Night. At our holiday party today, members received a white glazed almond cookie and played with liquid watercolors to customize how THEY celebrate the holidays. They had a lot of fun! Thank you for the cookies!

The wedding season is in full bloom with brides searching for the perfect everything!!! The “I DO” is the easy part, but planning the venue, picking out decoration, deciding on the music and other details can be stressful. I just stressed myself out describing the details and had flashbacks in my head of my wedding 22 years ago.
Instead, let’s take a walk back to memory lane in 1988 when Lori and her mom came to Mila’s to inquire about a wedding cake.
“I could smell the wonderful bakery aroma as soon as we entered. Mila told us about all of the different types of cakes and flavors and we came up with this tiered cake design and size to accommodate size of wedding. I showed her the cake topper (🙄very 80s I guess) that would be used.
Growing up in Mequon and being very familiar with the Thiensville area. We knew that was the bakery was the place to go to. It may also be because my parents were also immigrants from West Germany in the 50s. Having a taste of a European bakery would be the best. My Tante Hilde , and Onkel Helmut came from Germany for the wedding as well .” Lori reminisced.
Thanks Lori for sharing these photos and kind words. It is so heartwarming to hear customers share memories when Mila and Mark ran the business. Their love and kindness is still remembered after all these years. #sayitwithmilas is a perfect 2023 hashtag. I don’t think hashtags existed in 1988, but say it with Mila’s still continues!!!
Today in 2023, brides are having tiered cakes with sheet cakes to be cut for the guests. Times are changing and Mila’s European Bakery is here for your wedding needs. Mila’s wants the day to be perfect! We can’t control all the other details except the perfect sweet table, cookies and wedding cake. You can count on us!!!
Cheers,

This blog focuses on the Grace Lutheran School Menomonee Falls Cross Country Team, 33 3rd-8th graders that ran cross country. There were approx 6 meets from Sept-Oct ranging from 1.5-2.0 miles.
On October 8th there was a State Meet at Concordia in Mequon. Runners were given Spirit Grams consisting of a Mila's cookie, Fruit by the Foot and Jolly Ranchers along with a note from their parents wishing them well.
They have the best cookies around and amazing customer service. They are always friendly and timely when I order cookies over the phone or email. They went the extra mile by putting a personalized message on the label of the cookie as well. I have recommended them to many friends and family and they've all had similar positive experiences. I like using a hometown baker and always know they'll go the extra mile to get the cookies done if short notice or if I have a new design for them to try out. The kids loved the cookies!!

It is wonderful to see these smiling faces❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing!! Many don’t have the stamina to run short or long distance, but this athletic team demonstrates endurance, competitive strength and sportsmanship.
Thanks again,

School is back, and so are our back-to-school cookies, cakes, image cookies, and gift boxes for students of all ages. The cookie gift boxes are great for teachers in the beginning of the year and for Teacher’s Appreciation Week which is coming up. On September 2, Mila’s was featured on CBS with a great variety of treats to kick off the school year. It was wonderful to share these ideas with viewers.
Thanks to those who saw us live during the morning as well as those that viewed it via Facebook, the CBS website and Instagram. it was a great segment!!
As I’m writing this blog, we are already a few weeks into the year. Everything is still new and fresh before the warm weather becomes cold and the reality of school sets in. The school year starts off slow, yet is over in a blink of an eye. From fun grade-level cookies to high school graduates edible image cookies, we are here for every step of the way. Your journey is our journey too.
We appreciate sharing memories with your family as your kids grow up. We are here for all your milestones and traditions!! Say it with Mila’s!
Have a great school year!

We are going to leave you with a thought———————————-Enjoy the moment!!
“Sometimes you will never know the value of something , until it becomes a memory.”
Today’s blog features desserts for a surprise send off party for Sage Gundelly, Miss Wisconsin Teen USA 2022. She will head off to compete at Nationals to represent Wisconsin.
Mila’s European Bakery s very touched to make a special cake, cupcakes, and personalized crown cookies for Sage!!
When Sage’s father called to place the order, he we was very detailed and specific. He sent photos and even a color chart to be exact. The sash on the cake needed to be similar to the sash Sage wore and each cookie had to have a girl’s name on it so that they would feel part of the special send of party. This attention to detail really demonstrated his love for Sage in creating the perfect dessert. This had to be PERFECT for Sage!! We all understood the importance of the order.
When competition was tough, Sage didn’t give up, but persevered to win the title of Miss Teen Wisconsin USA 2022. Now she is off without her parents or friends to Nationals for more competition. What an amazing and motivational young lady with such a bright future. She a beautiful, talented, and hard-working teen.
Thank you for the opportunity to share this memorable event with you and your family.
We wish Sage all the best with her competition journey to Nationals. Keep us posted! We are looking forward to making desserts for Sage as a National Teen winner!!
Say it with Mila’s —Best Regards, Anna

Today's blog highlights the amazing Homestead High School's production of Cinderella. It takes numerous hours of rehearsal time, commitment and love for the arts to put on on a musical. From actors, to stage crew, to pit orchestra to much much more, a theater family is formed with one goal of creating the best HHS musical. Mila’s has been a proud supporter of the HHS Drama Club for many years with logo image cookies. Lasting memories were formed and Mila’s contributed to this special musical. Thanks for allowing Mila’s to be a part of this Winter 2022 Musical.
Mila’s Cream Cheese Almond Cookies are always the best!
According to Julie Willis, a HHS Drama Club Parent, “Mila’s European Bakery stepped up with another amazing donation for this year’s musical. They made the most delicious cookies to sell in the lobby. They were beautiful and expertly decorated for Cinderella. Generous donors like Mila’s help support and keep our Homestead drama department able to do wonderful productions.”
