Caterer signs with Bakers Local 114
Bakers Local 114 signed Almost
Heaven Catering of Portland to a first-
time union contract.
Misty Wright is the owner of the
business. She has been a member of
the union since 1991. Wright started
the catering company in 1985 on a
part-time basis. Her full-time job was
as a union baker and cake decorator.
The company has now grown big
enough that Wright is leaving her
cake-baking gig to focus full attention
on catering.
One of the first things she did was
sign an agreement with Local 114.
Wright will employ union bakers and
will shop at union stores for union-
made goods, she said.
Local 114 Secretary-Treasurer
Terry Lansing urges union locals and
their members to consider Almost
Heaven Catering for any events they
have planned.
K
Wright says she can easily manage
a wedding reception of more than
700, giving it the same attention she
would a romantic dinner for two.
“Almost Heaven Catering is com-
mitted to providing nutritionally-
sound meals tailored to fit our cus-
tomers’ specific dietary needs,
inclusive of their cultural heritage,”
she said.
Wright holds degrees in both bak-
ing and cooking. In addition to run-
ning a business, she also mentors
young adults in the artistry of cooking
and baking, and hosts in-home cook-
ing classes for those interested in
hands-on cooking or baking training.
Almost Heaven Catering can be
reached at 503-789-6297 or online at
