Local Business Focus - DELIGHTFUL BITES BY NINA

 CAIRO - What an appropriate name for this gem of a bakery located at 597 Main St., Cairo.  Delightful Bites specializes in Artisan custom cakes, cupcakes, pastries, scones, cookies,wedding cakes made from scratch using all local simple ingredients.

Nina Heath, born and raised in Cairo, is the owner/Pastry Chef of this unique establishment and is a graduate of Schenectady Community College Culinary School. 

Her love of baking started at a young age and even though she originally attended college for Photography and also Art Conservation baking was always in the forefront of her mind.  Nina worked for a Pastry Shop in East Greenbush, but when her mother became ill, she came home to help take care of her.  In doing so, she applied for her private home processor license and started baking out of her home and selling her scones, cookies and her famous crumb cake (her Grandmother's recipe) at the Olana Visitor's Center.

Her dream of owning her own bakery became a reality when her best friend's Grandmother's shop on Main Street, Cairo was up for sale.  The shop was originally known as the Calico Hen Fabric Shop.  It was a perfect fit and Nina opened her Delightful Bites By Nina Bakery in August 2019.  Since then, her establishment earned the recognition of being the #1 Retail Artisan Bakery in Greene County. 

Nina will soon offer fresh made bagels to her generous list of delectable treats. 

It was a pleasure meeting with Nina, a warm and friendly person whose talent is on full display in her Delightful Bites Shop.  Bakery Hours : Thursday & Friday 10 to 4, Saturday 9 - 3, Sunday 9 - 2.  Phone: 518-822-7166 facebook.com/delightfulbitesbynina
