The Bakery
Dogwood & Magnolia Bakery is located in the quaint business district of Historic Mooresville, AL. Just like our old fashioned surroundings, we want our Bakery to feel like a step back in time when the days moved a little slower and a homemade baked good felt like the finest treat.
We offer a daily selection of small-batch, made-from-scratch cakes and baked goods as well as coffee and a unique variety of sodas so you can sit and stay for a while. You can also find specialty items and gifts from local vendors or work with Alexis to design a custom cake for your special occasion.
Meet Alexis
Growing up in the kitchen with her grandmothers, Dorothy and Claire, Alexis earned her baking pedigree making “Nanny’s” pound cake and “Mummy’s” divinity. The smells, tastes, and experiences showed her how baking can both delight and connect people.
Her first official cake was for her nephew’s fourth birthday, and since then she’s created dozens upon dozens of creative, custom cakes for both loved ones and customers. She’s also perfected her recipes for the most delicious cinnamon rolls, muffins, cookies and more.
Alexis, her husband, and three children are Mooresville residents, and in April 2021 they saw a longtime dream come to life with the opening of Dogwood & Magnolia Bakery in the heart of their beloved historic town. Pieces of Alexis’ story and family history are found throughout the bakery from her grandmother’s handwritten recipes, the first dollar her grandfather earned at his general store, and the old candy jar Alexis remembers from childhood. Just as these stories, tastes, and legacies have helped build the story of Dogwood & Magnolia, Alexis hopes to play a part in adding to your story too.
