Hankey remarked that she still does have the classic stools left behind by the previous diner, and may somehow incorporate them in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Featured at \u201cWhat\u2019s In Store\u201d is local honey and maple syrup, farm fresh eggs and Amish canned goods and preserves. Homemade gifts are available, too, such as hand-crafted soaps and goat milk soap, soy and bees wax candles, jewelry, and hand-sewn merchandise, along with granite cheese boards. In addition, natural yarns and fiber from the Hankey\u2019s own farm animals, to include alpaca, sheep and angora, are sold in the shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hankey explained that when she originally saw the Main Street property up for sale, she knew it was the right fit to bring her farm business downtown. Pleased with the traffic and feedback from customers so far, Hankey remarked that the baking side of her business has grown even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A graduate of Nazareth College near Rochester, Hankey holds a painting and illustration degree. As a youth growing up in Montour Falls, N.Y., Hankey participated in 4H, and it was that experience, she said, that helped inspire her early imagination and inventiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A self-taught cake artist, Hankey first designed cakes for weddings at the nearby Pumpelly House when she lived in the village. Most recently she baked goods for the little leaguers in town, and keeps an active schedule designing cakes for birthdays, weddings and anniversaries, as well as for special events held by local organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hankey explained that she enjoys every cake she masters, and specializes in single-tiered, shaped, sculpted and 3-D cakes, along with stacked wedding or party cakes, designer cookies and unique cupcakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She commented, \u201cI keep up with trend changes, such as weddings where the choice is often cupcake bouquets in lieu of traditional flowers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hankey\u2019s goal, she said, is to, \u201cMake it special\u201d for every occasion, and takes time to chat with customers about each custom detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Santa and Frosty in a hot tub, to a teapot pouring flowers into cups, to a camera and grand piano, and then a cake-replica of the Titanic, to OFA championship team cakes, she has whipped up countless cakes-of-art. She also makes her own homemade fondant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
