On Wisconsin: An end to pumpkin fry cake doughnuts and Weber's Bakery : Wsj: The hard wood floor at Weber’s Bakery has seen its share of flour, sugar and excess colored sprinkles.
This is also where David Weber rode his tricycle as a toddler, made pretzel cookies as a 12-year-old, stood each summer while he rolled out thousands of buns for the Lodi Fair and, five years ago, had thoughts of suicide after a divorce.
But Weber, 56, has found God, has a new wife and a Christian faith that helped him through the past week, during which scores of customers came to buy one last loaf of bread, sacks of pumpkin fry cake doughnuts, bags of homemade noodles and boxes of monster cookies.
