The Corsica Loaf™travels to Europe

Bernd Schell of Bamberg, Germany visited the Door County Bakery and took a Corsica Loaf home to Bavaria to be enjoyed with his friends. Bernd is in the automotive industry and travels the world. 

He was so impressed with the Corsica Loaf that he had to take one back to Germany. So now, the Corsica Loaf is an international favorite, too.  

Yamaha U-3 studio upright grand piano 

The latest addition to the Door County Bakery is this beautiful Yamaha upright piano. Don and Jean have added the piano to the ambiance of the bakery. It's sure to be played in the future, but for now, we can all enjoy its place in the Door County Bakery.

Demitasse and Silver Collection Displayed

Recently displayed in the Door County Bakery, and perfect as a gift, is a collection of demitasse porcelain and silver. The Door County Bakery's Don Thompson collected these items over the years at estate auctions.

Jupiter CD available

A limited number of copies of "Jupiter," Don Thompson's first album recorded in 1975, are now available for sale at the Door County Bakery. 

The Karona Records CD presents a myth and lyric which metaphorically addresses man's origin and destiny. This collector's item is available at the Door County Bakery for $10.00. There will be a charge for shipping and handling if you order the CD by phone. 

Gone but not forgotten

Don and Jean say that hardly a day goes by before someone will come into the bakery and tell them about the Door County Bakery commercials they heard on WGN Radio in Chicago. 

The commercials they remember were performed by popular morning host Spike O’Dell (behind the mic) and his newsman Tom Petersen, who for years talked about the wonderful products at the Door County Bakery. 

Spike and Tom have since retired, but their many loyal fans remember the commercials.

Spike O'Dell's coffee cup display

A portion of the Spike O'Dell coffee cup museum is now located inside the Door County Bakery. Previously located in the bakery's Back Door Studio, the cups and pictures are now more prominently displayed for all to see. 

The display harkens back to the days when Spike hosted the morning show on WGN Radio. The cups were signed by special guests who appeared on his show over the years.  

The pictures are of many of the personalities who worked with Spike at WGN.

Meet Wolfie II

Old friends and customers of the Door County Bakery will remember "Wolfie," the Thompson's long time canine companion, who passed away a few years ago. Well, Don and Jean now have "Wolfie II," a pure bred Siberian Huskey, to keep them company.  

This bright and happy dog will be seen occasionally roaming the grounds of the Door County Bakery, but she's more at home chasing squirrels at the Thompson's home in the woods.
