The recipes are Eliza’s own, sometimes coming to mind when she tastes something new. “Half the joy of having your own bakery is coming up with new recipes,” she said. “You can use your own creativity to come up with new things, instead of having to make the same three or four things over and over, like I did when I worked for a caterer.” All of the delicious baked goods available at the bakery are made on site with just three KitchenAid mixers and two small ovens.

Prohibition Pastries is located at 7105 Reynolds Street and is open 7 am to 7 pm, Monday through Friday, and 10 am to 3 pm Saturday and Sunday; the bakery is also available for catering. Eliza can be reached at (412) 242-3300 or by email at eliza@prohibitionpastries.com. Read more about Eliza, her bakery dreams, and the goodies she offers at her website, www.prohibitionpastries.com.
