Andy and Marcia Hilton started The Ole Whistlin Still Bakery in the fall of 2014 as a little division of the award winning Hilton's Gourmet Bakery. While cleaning out old family boxes we came across old pictures and family notes about Marcia's dad, Buddy Drew and his brother Uncle Duffy. Over the next week Marcia regaled me with stories of her growing up in the coal mining hills of Southern West Virgina. Stories of Buddy Drew working the mines, visiting the company store, "to give them back their money" he would say, hunting squirrels, having to find her own "switch" when she got in trouble. Buddy and Duffy also brewed Moonshine, White Lighting, in the holler behind Duffy's home. After they worked 1000 feet below the West Virginia surface in the coal mines during the third shift, Buddy and Duffy would venture back into the holler and tend to their Still.
Steeped in the ole Appalachia tradition of Moonshining, a craft Buddy Drew and Duffy perfected, our little bakery developed a very special selection of gourmet Moonshine Cakes and Pecan Pie. The Ole Whistlin Still Bakery, is a division of the Nationally Award Winning Hilton's Gourmet Bakery located in the hill country of central Polk County in central Florida nestled in the city of Davenport, Florida. Andy Hilton is our gourmet Pastry Chef and "mad scientist" creating award winning: cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, Moonshine cakes, Rum cakes and other confectionery delights. Andy has competed and won awards on the Food Network's "Food Network Challenge, National Pie Championships", Cupcake Wars, American Pie Festival and the Florida State Fair.
