At 4 a.m., when most people are still sleeping, Leslie St-Amant and her husband George are up baking<\/div>\n
Leslie and George own and operate Nachelle’s Cakes, a local family business that has been selling baked goods since Oct. 4, 2010.  The couple are residents of Transcona and have a fully licensed shop on their property at 1218 Kildare Ave East.<\/div>\n
Nachelle’s Cakes offer a variety of baked goods including cupcakes, cookies, cannoli and cream and fruit horns. They also have assorted squares and dainties, chocolate covered Oreos and strawberries.  <\/div>\n
Everything is baked fresh to order.<\/div>\n
Excited to share news of their new partnership, Leslie explained that Nachelle’s Cakes supplies all of the baked goods for Annie’s Attic. Located at 1560 Main St, the newly opened Annie’s Attic is a thrift store and cat café. All of the pastries are fresh from the oven and delivered to the store daily.<\/div>\n
Annie’s Attic is a non-profit organization and a branch of D’Arcy’s Animal Rescue Centre that functions as a cat adoption centre. Funds raised from sales at the thrift store go directly to D’Arcy’s ARC and help with the care of rescued cats and dogs.    <\/div>\n
Since the store’s opening on Jan. 21, Annie’s Attic has adopted out a number of lovable cats in need of a new home.<\/div>\n
Annie’s Attic is such a “cool idea” said Leslie. When they were approached to partner with D’Arcy’s ARC, Leslie and George jumped at the idea.  <\/div>\n
“It is a labour of love, and the fact that we can help the animals is all the more reason for us to be involved,” she said.<\/div>\n
 Nachelle’s Cakes also sponsors the cat café, with a portion of its sales going to support the animals’ care. Leslie and George also sell helium balloons at their store and all the proceeds go to D’Arcy’s ARC.<\/div>\n
Orders from Nachelle’s Cakes are available for pick up at Annie’s Attic. The store is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Mon. to Sat.<\/div>\n
If more convenient, local residents can pick up their baked goods in Transcona.  <\/div>\n
Staff from Annie’s Attic welcomes visitors to stop by to enjoy a tasty treat from Nachelle’s Cakes, check out the second-hand treasures and spend time with the adorable cats. <\/div>\n
