What began with Zack and Ashley baking together is now Buckeye Brownies, a family-owned bakery in Akron making oversized, three-layer brownies and blondies. Each dessert is handcrafted in small batches at its ODA-approved 5,000-square-foot commercial bakery and baked fresh to order rather than held in a warehouse. The company ships its treats across the country and around the world while keeping the hands-on process that defined its start.
