Full-Time Job

Each week, after baking for 30 hours,
she delivers between 250-300 boxes to
nine stores. Polly's Pastries are sold at
Hiller's Markets in Commerce, West
Bloomfield and Plymouth; Market
Square in West Bloomfield and
Birmingham; Tringale's Fruit Market
in Farmington Hills; Market Plaza,
Mapleview Party Store and Detroit
Bagel Factory in West Bloomfield.
The pastries sell for between $4.99
and $5.95 for a 10-12 ounce package.
A self-described people person,
Levey-Carpenter goes to at least two
stores each week to hand out samples
to customers and promote her prod-
uct. That strategy, along with word of
mouth, has been so successful that she
can hardly keep up with the demand.
This is no longer a little adventure.
This dream has happened. I'm doing
this with love because I want people
to have a really good baked product. I
always knew I was a good baker, but I
never knew that I had the strength to
do this," she says.
Carpenter would like to build a fac-
tory and possibly expand to other
baked goods if she can find the finan-
cial backing.
"My dream is to be known by my
baking because I just love it."
For now, Polly's Pastries remains a
one-woman operation. But, Levey-
Carpenter hopes her soft, gourmet,
cookie-like pastry will replace the
image of Bubbie's traditional recipe. Eli
