History

Established in 1983.

Over 30 years our commitment to natural, artisan quality and our family recipe has remained intact. Formerly a structural engineer, Athena brought the same concern for detail and quality to her Silverland bakery that she once applied to designing bridges. Recognized by Weight Watcher Magazine, The Food Network (Top 10 Best Mail Order Desserts), The Travel Channel, USA Today, Good Housekeeping and others, Athena’s has been praised consistently though our lifetime. According to Athena, «If you want the best, you start with the best ingredients and you never compromise taste.»

Business Owner

Formerly a structural engineer, Athena brought the same concern for detail and quality to her Silverland bakery that she once applied to designing bridges. In the years since she traded her hard hat for a baker’s hat her Silverland desserts have grown into a Chicago and national sensation. Before long Silverland was receiving requests from large retail chains which share Athena’s passion for quality. In 2005, the multi-​faceted Athena was chosen as a model and spokeswoman for Unilever’s Dove Pro-​Age™ campaign. This experience took her to an appearance on Oprah, The Today Show, and a global press tour. which put her Silverland bakery before a Global audience. Athena’s Fund for Women&Girls was established in 2008, providing grants to local Women in need. Athena has always believed in giving back to those less fortunate, thus created a fund with her proceeds from the Dove campaign and continued with an annual grant to a local Women’s Organization.
