Co-owner of Scott’s Pastry Shoppe since 1982, Jackie Scott is the heart and soul of this Middleton business. All of her hard work and dedication to the baking industry was recognized with an induction in the Wisconsin Bakers Association (WBA) Bakers Hall of Fame on Tuesday, March 11th, during the WBA’s Industry Appreciation Breakfast in Milwaukee, WI. The breakfast was held in conjunction with the Midwest Foodservice Expo.
Scott was honored to be inducted into the Bakers Hall of Fame surrounded by family, friends, and industry colleagues. She was nominated by her daughter, Dawn Westhoff. Westhoff wrote in her nomination, “My mom is an inspiration to me and many around her. I’ve been blessed to work side by side with her for almost 20 years.”
According to Scott’s Pastry Shoppe’s website, “Jackie and Dawn work together to bring quality baked goods and jobs to Middleton. They are joined by family and trusted friends to make this a unique family business.”
The WBA Bakers Hall of Fame honors those individuals for their service to the baking industry. Since the WBA Bakers Hall of Fame was started in 2000, Scott is the third woman to be inducted into the WBA Bakers Hall of Fame. Scott was the first woman to become President of the WBA Board of Directors and served as President from 1994 to 1996. Later, she also became the first woman to serve as President of the Retail Bakers of America in 2003.
