“It was always an honor (and a ton of fun!) to help out behind the scenes at BDB, but yesterday was extraordinary. So much loveee❤️”

“You are one of our small businesses that I really enjoy. I always feel healthy after one of your salads or sandwiches. And then there are the desserts...what a treat.
I’ll continue to look for your items and Scholl’s and around town. Be well.”

“Thank you for your wonderful creations! The Pecan Pie will live forever in my memory! We will miss you. ”

“You will be so missed! I think I was one of your first customers when you opened that little bakery on Center Street. But then again, when I knew you were cooking for the Liberty band bake sales, I always tried to be first in line for those goodies, too!
I’ll certainly be looking for your baked goods at Scholl’s and other events, but it won’t be the same! My Confetti Salads are gone for good, now, too! 😔 But, my misery aside, I wish you both nothing but the best as you continue your journey. ”

“Wishing you both all the best. The 4th floor of City Hall is surely going to miss you, especially the Smokey Mountain!”

“We are definitely going to miss you and Dina!! BDB was our favorite spot to get amazing, fresh food and goodies. Well, sometimes in this life you have to do what is best for yourselves and what makes you happy. I think it’s great you are doing just that!”

“Sooooo sad to read your email Gail, you surely will be missed by lots of fans of your delicious creations....and you know I will surely miss your coconut lentil soup and the garlic cookies, I’ve never had anything like them, they are special”

“Wow, we’re so sorry to see you and Dina closing up shop! And, we’re so delighted to see you and Dina taking good care of your precious selves! We wish you much love and laughter, vibrant health, and an ever-blossoming and embracing community!”

“What an awesome adventure it’s been. I’m so happy to be able to turn another page in your amazing book of life!!!”

“You know you will be missed and your kindness will be long remembered. If the world had more people like you it would be a better place.”

“All the best to both of you!!!! ❤️ I will miss your smiling faces through the window! We promise that we will continue to get our ‘goodness’ fix from you through Scholl’s. Covid has changed everyone in so many ways. Best wishes with this next chapter.”

“Miss my morning conversations with Dina and you Gail. Best wishes for both of you and still hope to see you around town. Cheers to you both!❤️”

“Say it isn’t so! My wife and I will miss you and your food so much. Good luck on your park-rangering, sounds like an exciting change.”

“We’re going to miss having you in the neighborhood. We have so many good family memories with Back Door Bakeshop. You’ve been a staple in our home since John was born in 2014. Thank you for everything!! Wishing you the very best!!”

“Thank you! Thank you!
I first was acquainted with your super baked goods at The Heavenly Hedgehog ice cream shop. BDBS has been my go to place for soups & granola & tuna salad & so many other delicious foods. My diet is going to be greatly diminished! I am so grateful that you stayed open during the Covid pandemic times providing not only food comfort but a friendly masked smile. Hey, if you make a batch of that addictive granola before closing I’ll take 4 bags! In deepest gratitude for taking care of our community & wishing you the best for the future!”

“Thank you for all the delicious food that nourished in many ways, and best wishes for your next chapter!”

“Some people just impact others by just being...that is you two. sending you as much love as you impart on others. best wishes for your next leg of your journey.”
