Good Day,
I hope the new year is treating you well. As many of you know we closed the Menagerie Lounge right before the holidays. We truly appreciate the support that was given during that difficult time. So many of you know that I'm a Pastry Chef and asked why not open a bakery...
I am asking for your support once again. I am embarking on a new business called April's Famous Bakes. It will be opened early summer in Pontiac. Offering Loaves of my Famous Cakes, Cookies and Bars, Banana Pudding and the best Cobbler! Along with over-the-top Milk Shakes and Ice Cream.
I'm excited!😊 The entrepreneur in me is not dead and most importantly the amount of support to feel confident doing this has been amazing! Please like my page and share with your friends as well

The Menagerie Lounge will not be open for the rest of November.
We need to regroup mentally and physically in hopes of going into the new year with more finances, new energy and a strategy on how to increase foot traffic to support our business.
In the mean while we will keep you updated in our progress.
Thank you to our loyal customers and those who had plans to supoort.
In service,
James and April Forbes

Local bakers face off in a crowd's choice competition of favorite desserts.

A big THANK YOU for all who joined us for our Harvest Benefit. Your presence and words of encouragement means so much to us. Although we still have a ways to go from reaching our financial goal by the 12th. We continue to push forward because that's in our nature. We love being entrepreneurs and understand the rigorous ups and downs it sometimes brings, but also being an entrepreneur means that you never stop trying you never throw in the towel unless someone makes you throw it in, you leave no stone unturned.
We feel we still yet have more fight and drive in us! What we ask is that you PLEASE CONTINUE to show up come dine with us, brunch with us have a night cap.
Make a conscious effort to support small businesses not just ours but Pontiac businesses in general.
A businesses blood line is support from the people. Having thriving small businesses help grow the local economy more jobs, more opportunities.
We don't know what the future ahead holds but we are in it to win it and to be of service. We have faith that our journey has not lead us this far without reason.
Onward and Forward we go!,
James &April Forbes
