HOW IT ALL BEGAN

​

Deer & Dough started as a home based micro-bakery in September 2020 by self-taught, lifelong baking enthusiast, Melinda Friedman.  Originally from Brooklyn, she spent the past 30 years in Vancouver before making the leap with her husband to beautiful Victoria. 

​

Meeting neighbour Chris Moran in 2021 was fortuitous. A true Westcoast foodie, he spent the past two decades gaining experience in restaurants in Vancouver and Victoria and brought

the entrepreneurial know-how necessary to turn Deer & Dough Bakery into a sweet little brick and mortar destination.
