Stories beyond the bread
Keeping the Story Alive.
The Historic Frontenac Bakery has been telling its story since 1904. Today, we’re finding new ways to share that story with the next generation while honoring the traditions that made the bakery what it is.
More than a bakery
Music, characters, books, and community storytelling give us new ways to preserve the people, places, and traditions behind every loaf.
These creative projects grow from the bakery’s history. They do not replace it—they help carry it forward.
Still Burns
Original bakery music
The Giant Oven Still Burns
Our first original music project tells the story of the bakery through country-inspired songs celebrating its history, people, traditions, and community.
Music has become another way to preserve the stories behind the bread—stories of hardworking families, small-town traditions, and one remarkable bakery that has continued baking for more than a century.
The title track is available now, with the remaining songs expected soon.

For the next generation
Children’s Coloring & Activity Books
One of our long-term goals is to introduce young readers to the bakery’s history through fun illustrations, stories, puzzles, and our bakery mascots.
The project is currently in development as we create artwork that reflects the bakery’s history while remaining warm, fun, and engaging for children and families.
In developmentMore stories to come
The story keeps growing.
Whether through music, educational materials, community events, or future projects we haven’t imagined yet, we’ll continue finding new ways to celebrate a bakery that has served Southeast Kansas since 1904.
Because Every Loaf Still Tells a Story.
