Norma’s Bakery celebrating a year of sweet success

(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Norma’s Bakery is celebrating one year of offering delicious Central American recipes of baked goodies to Colorado Springs.

Norma’s Bakery opened on North Academy Boulevard near Palmer Park on Feb. 24, 2023–the culmination of a dream by Martin Ortiz. He is originally from Mexico, and had always dreamed of opening a bakery named after his wife, Norma Canales, who is from Honduras.

Ortiz’s son, Eder Lopez, is the manager at Norma’s, and moved back from Las Vegas with his brother to help their parents with the bakery. It is truly a family affair, and Lopez said his father brings authentic, unique Mexican recipes to the forefront. The bakery also offers Guatemalan, Salvadorian, and Mexican sweet bread, as well as flan, cinnamon rolls, and jelly-filled cookies.
