Baby Cake’s Bakery

Concept Development

Brainstorming through the space, in Layout A the customer traffic left a lot of wasted space at the end of the counter and not enough employee working room behind the counter.

In the Layout B, the employee work space moves better but the clientele traffic overlaps and forces customers to backtrack.

Finally, Layout C allows customers to browse the offerings while approaching the order and pay area and encourages clients to sit in the comfortable seats while waiting for their orders to be filled.

A warm and cozy rustic feel is the intent of this hometown bakery located in a refurbished 20th Century factory building. The charm of the exposed brick and large windows welcome patrons in for yummy baked goods.

Color Scheme

This color palate beings with the rustic terracotta red, fittingly named Earthen Jug, and a rich, warm butterscotch orange which were inspired by the warmth of a hot oven. A pair of gray blues and an olive green join the mix of complimentary colors while a light gray is used as a base color.

The use of these colors in this bakery welcomes customers in to enjoy delicious baked goods and friendly conversations without being too invasive. These rich hues, along with the heavenly aromas from the kitchen, encourage the patrons to pause a moment to relax in the plush faux velvet chairs before getting back to their day.

The hammered brass and oil rubbed bronze fixtures enhance the dark wood tables and chairs while the light stained floors and interior doors brighten the space. Two large windows at the front of the store allow a modest amount of sunlight in and maximize the industrial charm of Baby Cake’s Bakery.
