The holidays are best enjoyed with union-made cookies, cakes and desserts! BCTGM Local 24 (San Francisco) represents union bakers at numerous specialty bakeries renowned for scratch made breads, cookies, cakes and pastries.

San Francisco’s Boudin Bakeries has produced sourdough bread since 1849. Since apprenticing with former Boudin owner “Papa Steve” Giraudo at 17, Master Baker and BCTGM Local 24 member 4x6_Fernando_1972
Fernando Padilla has lovingly preserved Boudin’s breadmaking traditions. On his role in continuing the Boudin legacy, Fernando says: “Like Papa Steve, I’m just another baker.” The modest and talented Fernando leads a team of 20 bakers at the 10th Avenue bakery and 18 bakers at Boudin’s flagship location at the San Francisco Wharf.

Peter’s Bakery is the oldest family-owned bakery in the Silicon Valley. The bakery was founded in 1936 by Tony Peters and is still operated by the Peters family. BCTGM bakers make San Jose’s local specialty: Burnt Almond Cake.

Dick’s Bakery in San Jose is also a family bakery best known for its Burnt Almond Cakes. In fact, locals say there is a big cake rivalry between Dick’s Bakery and Peter’s Bakery (Dick, the original bakery owner, bought the bakery from his cousin, Tony Peters, in 1947 after returning home from World War II.) Local 24 members also create cupcakes, specialty cakes, cookies, pies, Danish and sweet breads.
