After years in corporate America, Christine Freeman chose to pursue a passion she’s had since childhood, baking. In 2023, she took a leap of faith and built an in-home bakery in the heart of Saline County, where she is proud to be a member served by First Electric Cooperative. What began as creating desserts for friends and family has grown into Sweet Delights Bakery, rooted in purpose, craftsmanship and community.

With a French background deeply connected to food culture and hospitality, along with formal education in hospitality and business management, Freeman brought together the perfect blend of creativity and expertise. She specializes in custom cakes, cupcakes, wedding cakes and desserts designed to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. Each order is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the client, their story, and the occasion being celebrated.

Beyond beautiful desserts, Freeman’s bakery has quickly become known for its heart and attention to detail. She believes baking is more than taste, it’s about connection, celebration and creating memories that last long after the final bite. By using quality ingredients and taking the time to understand each client’s vision, she ensures every dessert tells a story.

Looking ahead, Freeman hopes to expand into a bakery café that brings together her custom desserts, warm hospitality and community. As a First Electric member, she values being part of a locally owned cooperative that supports small businesses and strengthens the communities it serves. As her business continues to grow, Freeman remains committed to staying rooted in Saline County and giving back to the community that supported her leap of faith, turning a lifelong passion into sweet, meaningful success.
