Everybody loves Mila’s!!

My family and I highly enjoyed these marble with chocolate frosting Mila's cakes! One had buttercream filling for my 46th birthday and the other had strawberry filling for my mom's 70th birthday. The cakes hardly made it through the night they were so good! (Usually we have some left for a few days.) Great job Mila's! We'll be back for my daughter's 26th birthday this weekend :') Thank you for being fabulous. Qiana Ramsey

Thank you Qiana for your kind words. It is very special that you had a joint celebration with your mom with cakes from Mila’s. You will remember this event. It was our pleasure to brainstorm the cake order and details with you for our decorator to create perfection. Thanks for sharing the memories with us.

All the best,

Sweet Treats for Valentine’s Day

We all say Happy Valentine’s Day, but do we know it’s all about? Many say it is a Hallmark occasion to give out cards and candy. What do think? Valentine’s Day is really a Western Christian feast day to honor Saint Valentine. This is day for love and affection.

With Valentine’s Day on February 14th, Mila’s has been busy creating desserts to please everyone. Check out all the selections for the perfect Valentine’s Day. I decided to gather all of Mila’s Valentine’s options so that you can see them in one spot, instead of individual social media posts.

Who loves chocolate?? Yes!! Who thought of chocolate on a stick? It is a great concept for chocolate perfection on a stick. This is a great gift for friends, kids, neighbors and teachers. Most importantly, treat yourself to this dessert. Why not? Why yes!!!! These chocolate cake pops are available while supplies last. My kids love them although there isn’t a photo to prove it.

Another option is a Cream Cheese Almond Cookie kit which includes 12 cookies, 4 pastry bags and yummy toppings. This is a fun and creative way to engage kids and adults. This is also a way to get some kids off of electronic. Pre-orders are necessary. Sometimes, we have a few extra kits in the store.

Let’s have some fun, get creative and learn to decorate cupcakes and cookies. The best part of the event is that you go home with a masterpiece of what you decorated to share with loved ones or just yourself. Come learn a few decorating skills that you can always do later on your own. Sign up is required by calling 262-242-1404 ext 1. Sign up with friends and kids so that we have fun together. Cost is $35 per person.

If you like, just enjoy a hand decorated cookie. We have them available-while supplies last. Say it with Mila’s!!

Our final creation is a selection of Valentine’s Day Trays. There are many ways to express your feelings on this day, depending on your stage of life. We offer 3 selections for your perfect way to #sayitwithmilas.

Thank you for your business! We appreciate it! We love our customers.

New Year's Resolution-Cardio2Core

This week’s blog highlights Corley Davis who had a dream to start a fitness gym and did with lots of sweat and tears. What started as thought on paper turned into a reality for Corley. Congratulations girl!!! Way to go!! Thanks for making Mila’s part of your special grand opening with logo cookies. #sayitwithmilas

Cardio2Core is group session-based workouts located in the North Shore Dance Studio in Mequon. 2 different styles of classes are available. The first, a high-intensity cardio and strength-based option. The second, a sweaty, vibey, strength-based yoga/pilates offering.  

It is her goal that everyone leaves the workouts feeling better and stronger than when they walked in! The style and effectiveness of the workouts along with the community of participants is unmatched in our area! Offered Monday, Wednesday and Fridays at 9:15am, participants can be sure they are signing up for the Best Workout Ever!

Corley comes to the bakery with her kids to say hi and to get a Mila's cookie!. Conveniently located in Thiensville, it is a quick and easy stop for the perfect sweet tooth craving!

It has been a labor of love to get to this point, and Mila’s was an easy choice to help make the Grand Opening a success! I knew I wanted to feature my logo in a special and unique way, and Mila’s had exactly what I was looking for! Their custom cookies were not only the coolest element of “swag” and perfectly done, but also delicious! They were a big hit amongst all participants and a great way to kick off Cardio2Core! www.cardio2core.com

Blog Highlights of 2022

One year ago, Mila’s made a New Year’s Resolution to start a weekly blog highlighting customers, events and milestone. We probably thought about writing a blog for the last 2 years, but were hesitant for various reasons.

Thoughts raced through my mind. Who is going to read this blog? What do I write about? What if I misspell a word? Am I good enough to write something interesting to share? Why should I write a blog?

On January 1, 2022, Mila’s introduced a weekly blog which has been interesting. With all the social media including blogging, people enjoy reading, and seeing what’s going on with others. Our first blog was about a 90 year-old man celebrating his birthday. The blog captured a moment which became a memory. Relatives in other states were able to read and enjoy the blog.

2022 has flown by with Mila’s weekly blogs. My goal is to continue the blog and perhaps introduce 2 per week. Also, Mila’s will offer at least 1 themed decorating workshop per month. Check out the website for more details. What’s your New Year’s Resolution or hesitation to overcome?

Mila’s can’t select a favorite blog because they are so special and meaningful, but we can showcase some from the past year!

Happy New Year from Mila’s and wishing you all the best in 2023.

You can always #sayitwithmilas.

Congrats to the Kettle Moraine Lutheran Jr Chargers

Today’s blog features the KML JR Chargers!! Congrats to a great season!!

“Thank you so much for the amazing cookies for the Kettle Moraine Lutheran Jr. Chargers Football Team. They were a big hit! Thank you for your wonderful service!!” Shelley Zanon

Thanks for the kind words!! Brainstorming cookie ideas is always fun, but when we get to see the faces of these kids, it’s just very satisfying and rewarding. An order is just a paper yet seeing these happy faces, brings the paper to life!! Shelley, you made our day with these photos!

Being on a team sport or in a club is very important for development, leadership, and sportsmanship. I’m sure all these KML kids worked very hard this season and their parents must be proud.

Hats of to you all!!

Say it with Mila’s!

Thanks again, Anna

Cross Country builds endurance, skills and friendships

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!!

Nicole Theys

Thank you very much for the kind words and confidence. At Mila’s,we go that extra mile for our customers. We had a great brainstorming session that lead to a personalized cookie masterpiece!

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,

Anna

Let’s Celebrate Homecoming 2022

October 3rd was a big Homecoming 2022 celebration for many schools with lots of activities, fun and memories made. There were so many wonderful photos from many schools on social media of all the kids dressed in themed costumes before the dinner and dance. Such a great evening for this event.

This blog highlights high school seniors who celebrated their last and final HOCO of their 4 years. Mila’s made these special cookies to personalize this 2022 HOCO Dance. I have seen these kindergartners grow up into seniors and ready to fly the nest next year.

This blog is very special because my son is a high school senior who enjoyed the weeklong festivities and the dance. Also, there was a special announcement of all the seniors before a home soccer game. Yes, there were Mila’s cookies to highlight the event.

Cookies capture a special moment, personalize an event and most of all, taste great. Celebrate your next event with Mila’s.

BIRTHDAYS ARE FUN FOR KIDS

Another year has flown by and this year my kids were after the Super Mario theme. My cousin, Annie suggested that we go with Mila’s for their cakes this year and boy did they not disappoint. My daughter wanted Princess Peach (marble cake with chocolate raspberry filling) and my son, Super Mario (chocolate with mint filling). The cake presentation was on point with how delicious the cake tasted. Mila’s did a wonderful job and were extremely easy and relaxing to work with. If you haven’t stopped in to see them for a while, I highly suggest you do. Their cakes are delicious among their other goodies.

Thanks for the kind words about Mila’s!! Birthdays are fun for kids with theme parties, cakes, presents, and friends. Kids should enjoy this time while parents should help their kids celebrate this occasion. Kids look forward to birthdays while adults want to count backwards to be younger:)

Whatever the case maybe, Mila’s is always here for every milesone for all to treasure. Keep us in mind for your next event.

Say it with Mila’s.

Thanks,

Anna

It's Back-to-School time!!

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!

Regards,

Anna

Good Luck to Sage- Miss Teen Wisconsin USA

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

“Kids loved their cake, cookies and cupcakes. They were delicious. Great customer service for this special order at a reasonable price. Mila’s staff called to discuss the order and made sure our order turned out great. THANK YOU!!!”

Congratulations to a recent Homestead Highlander Grad and “On Wisconsin” in the fall at UW-Madison.

Today, we want to highlight all the Class of 2022 Seniors❤️❤️. This is an exciting, uncertain, and new experience as you start a fresh chapter in life. These past few weeks have been a very exciting time at Mila’s with so many colorful graduation cap cookies for so many different schools.

Happy 124th Birthday 🎂 Enzo Ferrari

“If you can dream it, then you can achieve it” as said by Enzo Ferrari. This is exactly what happened.

Enzo Ferrari’s 124th birthday party was celebrated at Art. D on February 19th, 2022. As we all know, Signore Ferrari was the creator of the coveted Ferrari brand. The party was sponsored by the WI Chapter of the Ferrari Club of America. The centerpiece of the celebration was the wonderful cake provided by Mila’s Bakery in Thiensville, WI.

According to Art. D, “we have been customers of Mila’s Bakery for many years. Their bakery creations are imaginative, beautiful, and, of course, delicious. “Il Commendatore” would have been very pleased, especially for the Prancing Horse decoration. Needless to say, there were no leftovers from the birthday cake. All of us in the Milwaukee area are fortunate to have this wonderful business in our backyard.”

We at Mila’s, are very pleased and honored to have made such a wonderful cake for the birthday. Thanks for making Mila’s a part of it.
