The bakery also caters and creates custom cakes for special events such as graduations and weddings.Cool shared that while her educational background is engineering, she took a turn and found a love for culinary arts. Cool, who attended Auburn University before moving to Washington D.C. to work in restaurants, missed the south and found her way to Troy.“I fell in love with Troy, and I was a manager at Baumhower’s for a year, and I just kicked into baking,” Cool said. “I kind of did this weird snowball effect where the town really enjoyed what I did, so I wanted to give it back to them.”Cool also shared some insight into the process of opening her business.“The IDEA Bank has been so helpful,” Cool said. “It took some time, but I was told it was going to take time, so it wasn’t a frustrating experience, it was just building something so strong on a foundation is going to take time.” Cool discussed what she is looking forward to most.“I am always up for a challenge, I like creativity, and we have a lot of creative people here,” Cool said. “I just get so much pure joy in following what God wants for me, so I think I’m just following what he puts in front of me every day.”Lastly, Cool gave some kind words to those that showed support and attended the ribbon cutting.“[I feel] a mix of emotions, my hands won’t stop shaking, I’m overwhelmed, and I feel so honored,” Cool said. “I had no idea I was going to have a turnout, and it truly means a lot to me.“It wasn’t just me who created this, anybody who’s ever ordered from me or liked or shared a post, even if they’ve just said something in passing, they are the reason I’m here, so thank you.”Shiloh’s Ark is open from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the week and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the weekend. They are closed on Tuesdays.To learn more about Shiloh’s Ark, visit their website at shilohsarkcafe.com/.</div></body>
