TUCSON, Ariz. —"I just started selling my things on Facebook or Instagram, and I never thought it would have brought me to a full-time career."He's the mind, hands and spirit behind Cal's Bakehop, a small but thriving bakery in Tucson, that's become a local favorite for doughnut and pastry lovers, including vegans.Orellana started baking in Montana in 2016 when he was offered a chance to attend culinary school there.
Near the beginning of the pandemic, in 2020, Orellana moved back to Tucson and, at the urging of a friend, established his business."Since I was away from Tucson for a while, I didn't know any of the markets," he said. "Locale, they reached out to me" Orellana said."That was the first place... from there other places reached out."He and his mother start the baking early to meet the growing list of orders from local businesses and restaurants.The process ensures fresh pastries for the following day. The hard work has paid off, with his products being in high demand across the city.
This hands-on approach has helped him maintain a close connection with his customers and the businesses he supplies.
