On Friday, September 14, Cothran’s Bakery celebrated National Bakery Day with some exciting news. The bakery was named the Sweetest Bakery in Alabama in a national contest hosted by Dawn Food Products, Inc.
The contest to find the best bakeries in the nation started May 1, and once a day with each device people could vote for their favorite bakeries online. Votes were also accepted at the store. Voting ended at the end of July and votes were tallied throughout August. The contest announced three national winners and the top bakeries in each state. The announcement last Friday came as a surprise to Cothran’s Bakery owner Chris Cothran.
“It was somewhat unexpected,” said Cothran. “We were in the top five, but we were competing against a grocery store chain that we really did not think we would beat out. We were thrilled with this, and we were more than thrilled to have the honor of bringing it back to Gadsden.”
