This happened at Paddy Cake Bakery in Bloomfield.
The video was sent to Channel 11, and a crew immediately approached the business owner to see if it was legitimate and get his reaction.
The owner, Patrick Connolly, is shocked and told us he didn’t know about the video.
So we showed it to him.
TRENDING NOW:
Connolly said the employee is new.
He said his team bakes around the clock, and he can’t always be at the bakery to know what is going on.
“She’s only been here a few days, and I didn’t know what was going on,” Connolly said.
Now that he knows about it, he’s taking quick action.
“She’s gone. She will be gone,” Connolly said. “You just don’t do that in a bakery.”
Paddy Cake Bakery has been around for 37 years. We looked into the bakery’s most recent health inspection reports.
Two COVID-19 assessments had no violations. There were a few hygiene issues from a 2019 health inspection report.
