Worcester baker Zaida Melendez is planning to open a permanent location on Park Avenue in the coming months.

Melendez was approved by the city’s License Commission on Thursday morning to open her bakery, Belen, at 385 Park Ave. Melendez said she plans to serve a combination of traditional Salvadoran pastries and typical American desserts.

Melendez has been selling her baked goods, which include pastries like budin, marquesote and tres leches, as well as elaborately decorated cakes, for delivery and at farmers markets and other events since this summer.

She told MassLive that she isn’t sure yet when she will be opening the bakery, but is planning to begin a remodel of the space soon.
