“Today, the options to delight consumers are virtually limitless,” said Goldberg. “Whether it’s National Donut Day or Friday at the office, we know donuts will continue to be enjoyed by consumers for years to come.”

Neato-O's became involved with the WBA when we received a

message encouraging us to enter the Creative Cake Competition at the Midwest Food Service Expo which included WBA membership. It was an amazing experience! Having been a new business at the time, it allowed us to make connections with other bakery owners, vendor partners, and WBA staff. This enabled us to share our stories, listen to others, ask and answer questions, and gain a sense of community! In the years that have followed, we have become more involved and we look forward to all WBA events!
