Nana’s treats, reimagined.
I’m Paige. The owner behind Val’s, wife and super proud mom. Welcome to my bakery. I’ve taken the base of family recipes and put my personal flare and twist on them. Food is art, and I love to play. My hope is that when you take a bite of your treats from Val’s, it might just brighten your day the way these recipes have for me and my family for generations.
Val’s started as a home bakery in 2020 during the pandemic shutdowns. It grew from a few orders a week, to hundreds. Eventually I was offered an opportunity to share a kitchen space with Dished! in Kettering. After 8 months, I decided to open my own location on Brown St. In just 6 months, we quickly outgrew the space and are now open with a full scale bakery in Downtown Dayton.
Inspired by tradition, and here to bring you joy.
Val was an amazing woman, mother and grandmother. She was in her element in the kitchen, and everything she made tasted like pure JOY.
Have you ever taken that first bite of something and it tastes like magic? That’s how everything tasted when my Nana, Val made it. Like magic.
This business is to honor her; to bring all of you the joy she brought to everyone who tried her treats.
Many items are inspired by original family recipes from the most important women in my life. My Nana, my mother, my sister, my aunts and cousins all have their own private touch on the soul of this business.
