   CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF A SERENDIPITY CAKERY AND ICE CREAM SHOPPE

                        Thursday, April 28, 2022

  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize A Serendipity 
Cakery and Ice Cream Shoppe in Riverview, Michigan, on the occasion of 
their 10th anniversary. Their decade spent as a staple of our community 
is worthy of commendation.
  A Serendipity Cakery was born in the kitchen of Tammie and Alan 
Bachran in 2012, where Tammie spent her days baking sweet treats for 
eager friends and family. As demand for her specialty baked goods grew, 
they opened a storefront in Wyandotte, Michigan in 2015. A household 
name throughout the Downriver area, A Serendipity Cakery moved to their 
current, larger space in Riverview, Michigan in 2019. This new space 
allowed Tammie and Alan to expand their business, offering more treats 
than ever before and opening a space for guests to host birthday 
parties and other memorable celebrations.
  Among the desserts that A Serendipity Cakery offers are custom cakes, 
cake drops, cupcakes, and a variety of chocolate-dipped items. Their 
special cake drops are known to sell out quickly and customers can 
choose from over fifty flavors. Despite being a busy bakery with cakes 
coming in and out each day, A Serendipity Cakery still has time to give 
back. They have adopted families through their ``Adopt a Family Fund'' 
and frequently donate their baked goods to local auctions and 
fundraisers, including for those battling cancer and for The Lincoln 
Center in Wyandotte, Michigan, that serves students with autism 
spectrum disorder and cognitive and emotional impairments in local 
schools. Their work goes beyond just baking and providing delicious 
treats for our downriver families, including my own--Tammie and her 
team help uplift their neighbors and spread awareness for various 
causes close to their hearts. For that we are a stronger community.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in celebrating 
the 10th anniversary of A Serendipity Cakery and Ice Cream Shoppe in 
Riverview, Michigan. Please join me in congratulating them on a 
fantastic decade of business and in wishing them the best of luck in 
the years to come.
