TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A beloved Tucson baker is turning a pandemic passion project into a full-fledged storefront this weekend with the grand opening of Cal’s Bakeshop .

The new bakery, located inside the former Rocco’s Pizza building at 2707 E. Broadway Blvd., opens its doors Saturday, October 11 at 9 a.m. The shop marks the next step for owner Cal Orellana, who first built a loyal following selling his inventive pastries online during the COVID-19 pandemic through his social media accounts.

“I’m not trying to be different,” Orellana said. “But I try not to follow a lot of trends and stuff like that. I just try to find cool stuff that I like.”
