How a SEED Grant Will Help This Beloved Bakery Keep Rising

For Ellyn Hopper, food has always been more than fuel—it’s connection. Raised by a chef father and a host-extraordinaire mother, she brings that same energy to Fat Rabbit, her warm and welcoming bakery in Church Hill.

Ellyn’s approach is equal parts precision and play: quality ingredients, meticulous methods, and creative flavor combinations. From custom cakes to pup-approved dog treats, Fat Rabbit is a place where everyone can find something to savor.

Thanks to a SEED grant, Ellyn is adding an espresso machine—unlocking a whole new menu of handcrafted beverages—and installing outdoor heaters so guests can linger longer and soak up the cozy, community-focused vibe.

Fat Rabbit isn’t just a bakery. It’s a place where neighbors gather, and creativity rises.
