10 years after bankruptcy, Detroit is a city on the rebound

April Anderson said her friends and family questioned why on Earth she opened a bakery in Detroit in fall 2013 — just months after the Michigan city declared the largest municipal bankruptcy in history.

But 10 years on, Good Cakes and Bakes is going strong, much like Detroit, she said. 

“My father said, ‘You’re gonna open in Detroit? I was like, ‘Yeah, this is my home.'” Anderson said.

April Anderson is co-owner and pastry chef at Good Cakes and Bakes, which she opened a few months after the City of Detroit declared bankruptcy in 2013. Now, her business is preparing to celebrate a decade in business. <!–
