       IN RECOGNITION OF THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF CRAVINGS BAKERY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 12, 2013

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Cravings 
Bakery of Allenhurst, New Jersey on its 25th Anniversary. Cravings 
Bakery continues to provide quality products and outstanding customer 
service to the local community.
  Wanting to share her passion for cookies with others, Jan Walker 
opened Cravings Bakery in the fall of 1988. She met her husband, Stu 
Kramer, while working at the bakery through his aunt, a customer. Less 
than a year later they were married, and they've been working in the 
bakery together ever since.
  The bakery offers a variety of homemade baked goods, including 
cookies, muffins, scones, danish, brownies, cakes and pies. It also 
offers coffee, cappuccino and lattes, which are enjoyed by a group of 
regular customers known as the ``Coffee Clatch.''
  Its exceptional desserts and service make Cravings Bakery a premier 
establishment for the Allenhurst and surrounding communities to enjoy. 
For 10 years in a row, Cravings Bakery was voted ``Best Desserts'' in 
Monmouth and Ocean Counties by the readers of the Asbury Park Press.
  Mr. Speaker, once again, please join me in congratulating Cravings 
Bakery on its 25th Anniversary. Jan and Stu's hard work and commitment 
to quality are truly deserving of this body's recognition.
