Celebrating Your Sweet Success!

I normally do not write lengthy posts, but today is an exception. Some people leave such a positive impact on your life that a few short sentences simply are not enough.

I also intentionally wanted to create this post because we live in a time when so much negativity often fills our social media feeds. I believe we should be just as intentional about celebrating, encouraging, and honoring those who make a positive difference in the lives of others. If we can make room to criticize, surely we can make room to appreciate.

Today is bittersweet as my business mentor, Jen, begins her sweet journey into retirement.

Jen's Sweet Treats has been an incredible asset not only to Cudahy, but to the surrounding communities as well. I am forever grateful to our mutual friend, Chad, for introducing us years ago. Since that time, she has been a constant source of wisdom, encouragement, and support.

Whenever I had questions about business matters, she was always willing to listen and offer sound advice. Over the years, and especially during some of the challenges my business is facing right now, Jen has consistently been a voice of reassurance. Her confidence that everything would work out and her ability to encourage others has meant more than she will ever know. You simply feel comfortable in her presence.

She never asks for much, yet she is always giving of herself to others. One thing I know she always enjoyed whenever she stopped by Bishop's Sweets was either the banana pudding or pumpkin bread pudding. So today, I made a special delivery of pumpkin bread pudding just to say thank you.

Unfortunately, due to prior commitments, I was unable to attend her surprise retirement celebration. However, I could not let this special occasion pass without expressing my gratitude and appreciation for all that she has meant to me and so many others.

Thank you, Jen, for being the incredible person that you are. Thank you for impacting so many lives. Thank you for your wisdom, your kindness, your encouragement, and for exemplifying what it truly means to love thy neighbor as thyself.

Cortney, thank you as well. You have been an incredible blessing and support to your mom. Please take care of yourselves. You have my number, so keep in touch.

Happy Retirement, Jen!

May this next chapter be filled with joy, peace, good health, and all the blessings you have so freely poured into the lives of others. Your impact will be felt for many years to come.

One of my favorite events of the year is almost here!

Although Bishop's Sweets will not be participating as a vendor this year, I am excited to join the thousands of attendees who will be enjoying all that West Allis A La Carte has to offer. This annual event never disappoints and is a wonderful opportunity to support local businesses, enjoy great food, experience live entertainment, and connect with our community.

If you're looking for something fun to do this Sunday, come on out and enjoy the many outstanding vendors, great music, and family friendly atmosphere along the strip.

I hope to see many familiar faces as we celebrate one of the biggest and best community events of the summer!

West Allis A La Carte Sunday, June 7, 2026 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Greenfield Avenue, 70th Street to 76th Street

See you there! 🎉☀️

A little throwback for pie lovers!

My pie crust recipe was featured in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on November 26, 2025, and with summer pie season in full swing, I thought it was the perfect time to share it again.

Whether you're baking strawberry, blueberry, rhubarb, peach, or mixed berry pies, a great pie starts with a great crust. This simple, flaky, made from scratch recipe has become a favorite of many of my customers over the years.

Happy baking, and enjoy a taste of summer!

Some people leave behind recipes.
Some leave behind businesses.
But every now and then, someone leaves behind a legacy that is felt far beyond the walls of their store. That is exactly what Jennifer Clark of Jen's Sweet Treats has done.

Jen, thank you for being such an incredible mentor, encourager, and friend. Your kindness, wisdom, and willingness to pour into others have meant more to me than words could ever truly express. I owe so much to the lessons you’ve shared, the support you’ve given, and the example you’ve set.

You are the true definition of giving back to the community. Through every sweet treat, every conversation, every act of generosity, and every smile, you made people feel loved and welcomed. Your impact reaches far beyond baking. You helped create memories, comfort, and joy for so many people.

And yes, you truly are leaving behind a “sweet legacy.” Point intended.

While it is bittersweet to see Jen’s Sweet Treats close its doors on May 31st, 2026, I am beyond grateful for the honor of knowing you and calling you my friend.

Enjoy your retirement, Jen. You have absolutely earned it. May this next chapter in San Antonio, Texas be filled with peace, happiness, laughter, and new adventures.

Thank you for everything.
You will truly be missed.

See you soon, my friend,
Chef Shane
Bishop's Sweets

Thank you, Chad for introducing me to an incredible individual.

My only request is that everyone reading this post would help me congratulate Jen on her retirement by leaving her a message, memory, or words of encouragement in the comments. Let’s show her just how much she has meant to so many over the years.

To my incredible Bishop’s Sweets family and friends,

First, let me apologize for the late post, but I truly would love to see as many of you as possible tomorrow.

I want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for the love, encouragement, prayers, and support you all have shown me throughout this journey. From supporting Bishop's Sweets & CATERING to now supporting me as an author, I do not take any of it for granted.

Tomorrow, I would absolutely love for you to join me for my official book signing for Damaged Goods: God’s Grace in the Middle of the Mess. I am truly excited not only to sign your books, but also to reconnect, laugh, hug necks, and catch up with so many of you who have been a part of my journey over the years.

There will be books available on site for purchase. If you have already purchased your copy, please bring your book with you so that I can personally sign it for you.

A very special thank you to Erin and Derick of Story Keepers Books for believing in and supporting local authors and for creating opportunities like this for our community. Your kindness, encouragement, and support are deeply appreciated.

Your presence would genuinely mean a lot to me, and I hope to see you tomorrow!

Happy National Buttermilk Biscuit Day! What’s your favorite condiment to put on a biscuit? My personal preference is apple butter on a hot biscuit straight out of the oven.
