Cahaba Heights Business Spotlight: Birmingham Bake & Cook Company

With more than 40 years of experience in the food service industry, Birmingham Bake & Cook Company owner Susan Green has plenty of hands-on experience with her products.

Green, a graduate of Tufts University and the Culinary Institute of America, has worked in San Francisco, New York City and Boston. Both she and her staff also bring a passion for “all things kitchen” to the shop.  

Birmingham Bake & Cook Company initially opened in September 2008 on Valleydale Road. In August 2014, the store relocated to the Heights Village Shopping Center in Cahaba Heights. 

“As an independent business owner, we feel a kinship with our Cahaba Heights community – one that embraces small business ownership,” Green said. “We were immediately welcomed by both the neighborhood and the city of Vestavia.”

In October, the store is moving within Heights Village to suite #3160, where Green is excited to being flanked by Sexton’s Seafood and New York Butcher Shoppe. 

Customers can find everything from cutlery to cookware, from bakeware to barware and everything in between. 

 “We’re very proud that so much of our product line is unique, particularly our hand held tools and our gadgets,” Green said. “They’re functional, fun and make life easier in the kitchen.” 

The Red Bag Customer Rewards Program, Cookin’ Parties, in-home cooking and product demonstrations, free Saturday cooking demonstrations, book signings and kitchen bridal showers round out a well-balanced culinary program. 

“I love teaching,” Green said. “The classes are a match made in heaven for me.”
