| About
Us
The store was founded in 1998 by
Patrick & Patricia Niles in West Bend, Wisconsin.
In October of 2000 we moved the business to Historic
Downtown Cedarburg,
just 20 miles north of Milwaukee. ( a link to www.cedarburg.org)
Together with Patricia’s extensive background
in baking and Patrick’s 40 years experience
in managing retail stores and their mutual love of
baking, the store was an instant hit.
Downtown Dough provides
a large selection of over 1,400 cookie cutters along
with cookie stamps, cookie molds, colored sugars and
decos, baking supplies, kitchen gadgets, pottery and
cookie jars and many other kitchen related products.
Our award winning frozen cookie
and bread dough are produced for us by some of the
best bakeries in the Midwest. We maintain a certified
four star master baker as our product consultant and
all products go through a rigorous series of test
for quality, ingredients, and of course taste. Our
line of par-baked breads use all certified organic
natural ingredients with no fats or sweeteners added.
Sugar cut-outs are available in various shapes for
every major holiday. In December 2004 our sugar cut-out
dough was rated as “excellent” by the
food editors of the Milwaukee Journal Newspaper.
They went on to say “now this is a sugar cookie,
it taste really good”.
....
In 2002 the store was featured in
the December issue of Good Housekeeping Magazine.
Since then our cookie cutters have been used for feature
articles in other Good Housekeeping issues and RedBook
and Parents Magazines. Recently, we designed and built
a custom cookie cutter of the Cinderella Castle for
the Disneyland Anniversary Celebration.
Today, as we continue to grow, Pat
Jr. has joined the business (yes there are Three Pat’s
working here), the work force is rounded out by other
family members working part time and dedicated employees.
We firmly believe in our community and Patrick serves
on several boards of local non-profit groups.
Watch for new products and other
exciting changes in the future at Downtown Dough as
we continue to strive to make this the source for
everything related to making cookies and more! |
