"The Prolific Oven, a family-run bakery known for wedding cakes, pastries, and coffee, will close after nearly four decades. The business cited a shortage of skilled employees and rising costs as reasons for its closure. The bakery's high standards and quality contributed to an unsustainable business model in Silicon Valley. The company's other locations in Sunnyvale and Santa Clara will also close by September." - Tierney Plumb
