Roundup: Union Baking closes in Westfield, Wild Eggs coming to Fishers

Westfield’s Union Baking Co. has closed its doors on Main Street.

The owners, Joe and Kelly Quinn, wrote on the company’s website that its lease at 303 E. Main St. couldn’t be renewed. The couple said the lease problem, plus the expected growth along State Road 32, prompted them to pursue a new business venture.

“Our store has done extremely well in Westfield and we are extremely grateful to our customers for this,” the owners posted on the company’s website. “Our success has allowed for this new direction to come to fruition.”

The new direction referenced is operating the Old Towne Carmel Bed & Breakfast at 521 First Ave. NW.

Union Baking will continue to sell custom cakes, cookies and its popular French macarons and will offer catering and private event services.

Customers can still place orders and pick up the items at the Carmel bed and breakfast. According to the website, the owners are also hoping to add a Westfield pick-up location.

The business will also continue selling at the Westfield Farmers’ Market.

Union Baking Co. opened in 2013 on the corner of Main and Union streets. In 2014, the business moved down the road for additional space to expand its food offerings.
