Jen's Sweet Treats in Cudahy was packed with people who wanted to help. In addition to the baked goods, a brat and burger fry was also held.

Besides people walking into the bakery on Friday, there were orders from across the Department of Corrections system.

"We did have a whole bunch of orders that from different DOC offices around southeastern Wisconsin. We are doing a road trip next week delivering to Waupun, Fox Lake, Columbia, up that way," said Jennifer Clark, owner of Jen's Sweet Treats.
