Bakery owner closes up shop

The Pink Box Bakeshop's pink door and window displays have attracted customers since 2009, but now under the trademark pink block letters hangs a sign announcing the business's imminent closure.
The bakeshop, 727 Massachusetts St., opened when owner Michele Kaminski took a break from her career in brand marketing to make her hobby into a full-time occupation. After about two years in business, Kaminski has decided to return to marketing and plans to sell her business.
Kaminski's sign states that offers to buy the business will still be considered, and she is currently working with other potential buyers.
"I'm talking to some people and they are working on whether or not they can make it happen," Kaminski said.
In addition to the building space, buyers wishing to continue the Pink Shop Bakeshop business model would be able to purchase Kaminski's recipes. She said she would sell the recipes for the entire menu unless the new business owner wants to take over the existing business.
The bakeshop will remain open until March 17, and will close immediately after the St. Patrick's Day parade.
Kaminski could offer no specific information about potential buyers, and remains open to offers from other prospective owners.
