Business is Sweet, but our Community is Sweeter

Jill and Robert Watson, the owners of both Area51 bakeries in the Naperville area, had a vision to settle down back home and start their own business. Jill served in the military in 2003 and 2004, where she and Robert met while he was doing contract work. After many years overseas, they moved back home and settled into Illinois where they formed a booming dessert location that offered cupcakes. They didn't stop there. Through hard work and the continued support from amazing customers, they expanded with ice cream, "smash" cakes, and a Dessert Bar!
