The Enchanted Oven

The Enchanted Oven is dedicated to the idea that meals should bring everyone three small happinesses per day. Not every meal can be a feast, but every meal should bring a little joy into your life. We specialize in Japanese-style baked goods. Cakes, pastries, cookies, sweet buns (such as red bean buns, custard buns, and our popular cookie buns), savory buns (such as steamed pork buns, ham and cheese croissants, curry buns), and more.

Opened in February 2019.

Maki F.
Business Owner
Maki was born and raised in Japan, and then eventually married and moved to the United States. After her daughter, Elissa, was born, they frequently visited Japan where Elissa fell in love with Japanese custard buns. When they returned from their visit, Maki realized that her daughter wouldn’t be able to find those same buns in the United States, so she began a decades-long study of baking, not just with the slightly different ingredients available in the United States, but also at Denver’s high altitude.

The final result is The Enchanted Oven. Begun as a labor of love, making tasty treats for her daughter, Maki’s experiments have culminated in the unique recipes and techniques that produce light, elegant, and enchanting desserts and savory treats.
