To celebrate the occasion, the bakery's owners, Hartmut Jahn and Claudia Kemmet-Cooper, will offer customers pieces of a very large birthday torte on Sunday. In addition, there will be a photo exhibit showing the renovation work that went into the birth of Guglhupf.

The bakery, which is located at 2706 Chapel Hill Blvd., near Foster's Market, also will have some specials to mark the store's anniversary.

The bakery's first year has been a success, Jahn said, and the wholesale side of the business is starting to pick up as well. Guglhupf is the bread supplier for 23, which is Michael Jordan's restaurant in Chapel Hill.

While Jahn and Kemmet-Cooper have put in a lot of hours at the store, customers have made it worthwhile, Jahn said. "If we didn't have the clientele we do, it wouldn't be as fun," he said. "You meet some interesting people here."
