Edgar’s Bakery was founded in 1998 in Birmingham, Alabama by Terry and Dottie Smith. Terry has said, “If you are asking if I had some great vision of this huge bakery…I would have to say no. All that I knew was that God was calling me to move into my own business and I obeyed. I didn’t have big plans but, obviously, God did.” Terry, with the encouragement and support of his wife, Dottie, followed his heart and was met by a series of blessings confirming his decision to open his own bakery. Together they established what is now repeatedly noted as Birmingham’s premier bakery in publications such as Birmingham News, Birmingham Weekly, and Parent’s Connect.
