Wolfel is using her own recipes plus those from her grandmother to make heart shaped cookies arranged in a vase for Valentine’s Day, baskets of cinnamon rolls and filled candy. Items are now available for sale, or you can pre-order your sweets for your sweetheart by calling the chamber at 814-486-4314. Wolfel says she has always enjoyed baking and will continue making candy in time for Easter.
