Geneva BakeryGeneva Bakery grew from Linda Rannels’s childhood baking at her parents’ produce stand into an East Petersburg bakery making cakes, pies, pastries and cookies from scratch.

Today, the bakery is especially known for made-to-order cakes with creamy, not-too-sweet buttercream and fresh daily baked goods.EAST PETERSBURG, PA
