The UK Collin the Caterpillar makes a debut with Mila’s in the US❤️❤️

My daughter was homesick after living in the UK where they have a traditional celebratory cake (Colin the Caterpillar ) from a regional store. Mila’s was the only bakery that was willing to take on the challenge of recreating it for us. The outcome was amazing. Not only because my daughter cried when she saw it, but it was the MOST delicious cake we’ve had (and we’ve eaten more than our share of cake). I picked it up on Sunday morning and it was SO fresh. Chocolate cake roll with buttercream filling (airy, buttery and a smooth) covered by dark chocolate ganache. Ordering it again for her birthday next year (or sooner if we can find an excuse).

Thank you for the kind words!! What a cute caterpillar cake for your daughter! We are glad the cake made her day special!! Thanks for bringing the UK idea to Mila’s❤️❤️❤️

It’s incredible to turn five years old!!

According to Anne Lucas, “Thank you so much for making such a special cake, Milas! The birthday boy ordered it at the counter on his own & it turned out even better than he could have imagined! (He also added some additional hulks of how own😂!) It was delicious! We would highly recommend them again!“

Thank you for letting Mila’s be part of Leo’s incredible celebration. May we all believe in action heroes!! Together we can made a special birthday creation through a JPEG which we are able to print on a cake.


These wonderful photos capture the essence of turning five and enjoying Mila’s birthday cake.
birthdays are magical when you’re smaller and you want to count up to get older.

It’s always our pleasure at Mila‘s to make the most special cake for you because birthdays are very sweet.

Love, Mila’s European Bakery

Adding a sweet twist to company branding with personalized cookies ❤️

Today, we are highlighting Melissa, a mortgage loan originator at A+ Mortgage Services, who featured a company logo on our cream cheese almond cookies.  

Melissa helps people take one of the biggest financial steps in their life—getting a home loan and also refinancing a current home. She listens to their needs, keep them updated, and works with them to make their home buying dreams a reality.   As part of the Selensky Mortgage Experts at A +, she has 25+ years of experience in lending backing customers’ loans. The A+ support staff is second to none.

On a particular Sunday, Melissa teamed up with Real Estate partner Peter Gohsman, and the entire Gohsman team to talk to people one-on-one about buying and selling homes, and the mortgage home loan process. 

According to Melissa, “We brought the amazing custom cookies from Mila’s European Bakery.  Not only did they customize the cookies from a jpg file, but they also add a label to the back of the cookie.  The attention to detail and commitment to excellence is second to none. I wouldn’t use any other bakery!”

Thank you for such kind words. We truly appreciate your business and recognize your devotion to customers. We love our customers as much as you love your clients. That’s why our custom logo cookies are such a hit for all. They are A+ too!

It was a pleasure working with you and your company to create these cookies. Thank you for making Mila’s a part of this experience❤️❤️ We look forward to more opportunities together.

Congratulations on hitting such a big milestone!! Life begins at age 50!!

Today, Mila’s is highlighting Thadd who celebrated his 50th!!!

According to Kim Stanowski, “Anna at Mila’s Bakery spent so much time with me planning the perfect cake for my husband Thadd’s 50th birthday. She was patient, friendly and knowledgeable, and the chocolate cake and vanilla cupcakes turned out beautiful and delicious! I highly recommend Mila’s for all your bakery needs.”

Thank you Kim for such nice words about Mila‘s. It was our pleasure helping you create the cakes details on paper and my wonderful decorator made the creative design and our amazing baker perfected baking the cake. We have a wonderful baking team at Mila’s.

It is always special and wonderful to create a cake for such a milestone. We hope Thadd had a wonderful celebration with family and friends. Thank you for allowing us to be part of the special day. We look forward to sharing more events with you.

MACC Fund time!!

Mila’s Bakery put together a wonderful basket of cookies for the Bob and Brian Radiothon (The Hog) benefiting the MACC Fund! This two day event (April 7th and 8th) includes an online auction and is filled with special guest speakers, including Robin Yount, Andy North, Dr. Dave Margolis, Jon McGlocklin, and many more! 

Thanks for helping fight childhood cancer and supporting related blood disorder research that can save the lives of countless children in our area and around the world.

Since its inception, the Bob & Brian Radiothon has raised over $500,000 for the MACC Fund. And we couldn’t have done it without YOU!

Mila’s is a good supporter of the MACC Fund. We look forward to more opportunities to make a difference with the MACC Fund❤️

Let's make some music!

Today’s blog highlights the Solo & Ensemble, a music festival, that is hosted at many schools throughout Wisconsin. Students can perform as soloists or with other students in small groups (duets, trios, etc.) all the way up to string orchestras, jazz ensembles and show choirs. Students who perform the most difficult level of music can also qualify to perform again at State. This festival, sponsored by the state association "WSMA," is the bedrock of learning music for individuals and small groups and is a perfect companion to the large ensemble band/choir/orchestra programs offered at the middle and high school levels.

This year, Homestead High School hosted the Solo and Ensemble. Mila’s cream cheese almond musical notes were sold in the concession area.

Mila’s is very proud of all of the musicians who participated in the Solo and Ensemble. It isn’t easy to learn a song and even memorize it and then perform in front of a judge and other peers in the room awaiting their turn.

“This delicious Mila’s cream cheese almond cookie gave me the energy to crush my solo and ensemble performances and take them all to state!” ~Alexandra Berryman

According to Anna, “as a former HHS orchestra member, seeing all the photos on the wall from previous years made me realize the importance of music for our children. It also reminded me of my experiences during Solo and Ensemble during my former high school years.”

HHS has a wonderful music program and Mila‘s is a proud supporter of it🎶🎶🎶🎶

Turning one is so fun for Annie!


According to Maryliz,”Our sweet little Annie turned 1 on March 25th!

Annie was spoiled with a beautiful rainbow cake from Mila’s Bakery in Thiensville. Thank you Anna & everyone at Mila’s for making this girl’s first birthday party so special 💜,”

Mila’s loves making 1st birthday cakes because it’s a big milestone and now birthday parties begin. Parents do not have to count in weeks or months anymore because counting begins in years. Younger birthday years are celebrated with family and as the kids get older, the cakes are for birthday parties with friends. Mila‘s is here for all stages of birthday memories.

Mila’s s is very happy to have made this wonderful rainbow cake for Annie. We hope to be spending and celebrating many more years together with Annie.

Her older sister, Amelia, in the last photo gives the cake a thumbs up.

There you have it, thumbs up to Mila’s European Bakery for a wonderful cake❤️

May kids always feel that birthdays are full of rainbows and fluffy clouds❤️❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈🌈☁️☁️☁️☁️

I love this photo!! This is Amelia, Annie’s older sister, who gives a Mila’s a thumbs up👍 Kids have no buffer and say it like it is. Thanks Amelia❤️


We hope you enjoy reading these blogs as much as we enjoy sharing them with you❤️❤️

Happy 85th Birthday Judy🎉🎂🎁

The Ziltz family has happily been customers of Mila’s European Bakery for over 25 wonderfully delicious years. First acquainted wthe talented Mila at my daughter Beth’s wedding for her huge reception in the Grand Ballroom at Milwaukee’s Historic Pfister Hotel. Everyone loved the cake so much that we continued to order smaller sizes to celebrate many of life’s highlights-anniversaries, birthdays and holidays. We brought many friends into the Mila’s Bakery fan club. It’s so great to remember all the special occasions that were celebrated with Mila’s delectable treats.

At 85 years old, I had to have another Mila’s cake to celebrate my birthday with family and friends. The Viennese Stawberry cake with four layers was a huge success. It took center stage at the party. I was glad to share the attention.

I enjoy my older years at home with Mila’s treats weekly. My daughters pick up her muffins, horns, and apricot almond bars (my favorite). It so nice to be able to enjoy Mila’s and her treats anytime I want. Sumptuous bakery makes my life sweet. Thanks for yummy memories and love to your family.

Sincerely,
Judy Ziltz and Family

We at Mila’s are extremely touched and honored to be part of this birthday celebration and passed events. It’s wonderful to hear that we are a part of family tradition. Turning 85 is very special and glad that Mila’s was a part of the birthday❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks to your daughter for driving 45 minutes to pick up your custom cake made with love and creativity. Wishing Judy very good health and lots of happiness❤️❤️

As second generation owner of Mila’s, it’s very heartwarming to hear wonderful experiences and memories of when my parents operated the company. Their legacy, dedication and hard work lives on when customers share such wonderful memories. Mila reads my blog from sunny Florida every Monday.

Let’s eat cake and best wishes.

Mila’s European Bakery

Is It A Boy Or Girl?

Today the feature topic is a gender reveal cakes. Some want to know the gender of the baby while some love the suspense when the baby is born.

According to Megan, “Our family hosted a gender reveal party for my brother and his girlfriend. It was very exciting and many family and friends attended to show their love and support. Mila’s was very helpful and courteous! They provided several options and offered great ideas for our gender reveal cake. They were very prompt and the cake was beautiful and delicious! We received many compliments and we love supporting our local bakery!!”

We love making gender reveal cakes! It is great when someone brings in an envelope or tells us the gender of the baby before the mother-to-be and family know the gender😍😍 Thanks again for making Mila’s part of the special day.

According to Megan, “Mila's almond cream cheese cookies are our family's favorite! We won't order cookies from anywhere else. We have ordered them to celebrate birthdays and holidays -- St. Patrick's Day is our favorite holiday. So, of course we had to try Mila's St. Patrick's Day cookie kit. The kids had so much fun with the icing and sprinkles! I doubt these cookies will last for long around our house. Thank you Mila's for always putting a smile on our faces. Your cookies always do the trick. I have no doubt that my kids will always remember the cookies they got from Mila's.”

This cookie kit includes 12 cookies, colored sprinkles and 3 piping bags—- you provide the fun😀😀😀😀

Megan and her family are always supportive of Mila’s from ordering cookies, cookie kits and cakes. Even during the pandemic, her family, including the dog,would walk over to Mila’s. I would see peeping eyes through the front window and huge smiles when they walked in. We appreciate your family and thank you for making Mila’s a part of your family memories. It’s a pleasure watching your kids grow.

If you don’t feel lucky to decorate cookies then come in for a finished cookie instead😍😍

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.

Here’s a proud and lucky winner!! We love it!!!

He also purchased some cookies for National Drink Wine Day. Who thinks of these national days?

Mila’s saw this post on a Facebook page by another lucky winner.

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.”
