Celebrating 30 Years of Marietta Made Moments

For 30 years, one thing has remained true:

Life is better when you take time to celebrate.

Since opening our doors in Marietta, Gabriel's has been part of thousands of moments that matter—weddings, birthdays, graduations, holidays, and everyday meals shared around the table. What started as a passion for baking has grown into something much bigger: a place where memories are made.

And this April, we're celebrating 30 years of it.

A Legacy Built by Johnny Gabriel

At the heart of Gabriel's is Johnny Gabriel, whose passion for quality, hospitality, and community laid the foundation for everything we are today.

Johnny didn't just start a bakery—he built a place where people could gather, celebrate, and feel at home. His commitment to doing things the right way—focusing on quality ingredients, attention to detail, and genuine care for customers—quickly made Gabriel's a staple in the Marietta community.

Over the years, that same standard has carried forward in every cake, every meal, and every experience we create.

A Legacy Built in Marietta

Gabriel's has always been rooted right here in Marietta.

We've had the privilege of serving generations of families—creating wedding cakes for couples who now bring their children in for birthday cakes, preparing meals for local businesses, and being part of holidays year after year.

These aren't just orders to us.

They're moments.

And every cake, every dish, every detail is our way of helping make those moments just a little more special.

Reintroducing Ourselves

As we celebrate this milestone, we're stepping into a new chapter with a renewed focus and a clear identity:

Gabriel's Southern Bakery & Kitchen

This reflects who we truly are—bringing together handcrafted desserts, southern comfort food, and catering that serves both everyday meals and life's biggest events.

We're getting back to our roots:

• Made-from-scratch cakes, cookies, and desserts
• Southern-inspired meals that feel like home
• A commitment to quality, consistency, and community

A Year of Celebration

Our 30th anniversary isn't just a single event—it's a full year of moments, flavors, and celebrations.

We're bringing back seasonal favorites, highlighting new features each month, and creating more opportunities to celebrate with you.

From Easter gatherings to wedding season, graduations, holidays, and everything in between—this year is about showing up in all the moments that matter most. 

You'll see:

• Featured flavors throughout the year
• Special holiday offerings and pre-orders
• Expanded catering options for events big and small
• New ways to order and enjoy Gabriel's

More Than a Bakery

Over the years, Gabriel's has become more than just a place to grab dessert.

We've grown into:

• A trusted wedding cake destination
• A go-to for corporate catering
• A neighborhood spot for lunch and southern comfort food
• A partner to local schools, churches, and businesses

And as we look ahead, we're continuing to invest in that role—expanding our offerings, improving our systems, and finding new ways to serve the Marietta community.

Looking Ahead

Thirty years is something we're proud of—but we're even more excited about what's next.

We're focused on:

• Growing our catering and wholesale programs
• Expanding our menu with seasonal and local favorites
• Creating a better in-store experience
• Becoming even more connected to the Marietta community

Because the goal isn't just to celebrate the past.

It's to keep creating moments for the next 30 years.

To every customer, every family, every couple, every business—
