As The Crazy Baker, I love and respect what I bake. My goal is to create delicious foods using the very best ingredients. I look for the freshest, and most local products first, including organically raised ingredients. The rural environment where I live and work continually inspires me, and provides many of the ingredients I use regularly - blueberries, farm eggs, vegetables for quiche, and the honey I use in my granola, to name a few. Your enjoyment of what I create is my primary goal. I am sure that you will be pleased with my products.
Our Story
The Crazy Baker® is Hall Hitzig – or - is Hall Hitzig The Crazy Baker®? The two are impossible to separate! I started my training at a young age in New York City, where my mother treated me to the very best European bakeries. As my palate developed, so did my desire to please the sweet tooth of my family and friends. Our frequent family gatherings always finish with a handmade dessert, greeted with oohs & aahs of delight! This is the experience I want you to have when you taste a treat from The Crazy Baker®. I prepare my pastries with care, using traditional methods and only the best ingredients available. With a committment to quality in every phase of my work, I choose quality European style butter, 100% pure natural vanilla, fresh local eggs, excellent imported chocolates, and high quality flours. These provide my basic palette. Combining these with an array of other select natural and organic ingredients, I make everything by hand. I have baked throughout my life, culminating my professional career with the opening of The Crazy Baker® in August 2002. I graduated as a pastry chef with honors from L’Academie de Cuisine in Gaithersburg, MD, and gained additional training at hotels and restaurants in the US and abroad. I have lived in Renick, WV with my wife, Amy and our three children since 1986. And… Why, you might ask, am I called The Crazy Baker?? Well, if you ask my wife, she will tell you that instead of starting a bakery at the age when many retire, I should just have bought a red sports car!Life is Long, Life is Food. Be honest and eat honestly. -Owner, Hall Hitzig
