Our Story

In 1993, our family, led by Tom and Jeri Knobloch, embarked on a culinary journey by opening a pastry shop as a franchisee of Country Maid™, crafting frozen loaves of sweet delights that customers could bake fresh and savor warm from their ovens at home.

With rolling pins and pizza cutters in hand, we meticulously shaped each Butter Braid® loaf. By 1999, we expanded into fundraising, delivering our products directly to customers and assisting them in achieving their financial goals.​

In 2008, we transitioned to an independent business, continuing our tradition of providing the beloved braided pastries using the original recipe under a new name—Kansas Maid Frozen Pastries, while upholding our unwavering commitment to exceptional quality.​

Over the years, we’ve broadened our delectable offerings to include cinnamon rolls, sticky caramel buns, and seven distinct flavors of braids.​

Tom and Jeri retired a few years ago, entrusting the family legacy to their son, Jacob Knobloch, and his wife, Krystal. While Tom and Jeri remain ever ready to lend a hand, Jacob and Krystal have embraced the helm with the same dedication and values, ensuring that the family’s commitment to quality and service continues to flourish.​

As a family-owned and operated company, we remain devoted to helping others help themselves achieve their goals.
