Love and Sweets Bakery, LLC
Last Year’s GVBC Winner

Crystal Tuner, Owner of “Love and Sweets Bakery LLC” in Stanley VA. “Recently opening a bakery in the small town of Stanley, VA with my daughters, Breanna and Kelsey, along with Sophia, who is like a daughter to me. I have been married to my wonderful husband Shandy for 11 years. We have a three year old grandson, who is definitely a joy and blessing.”

I was asked to participate in the Adagio bake off in 2024, and am so thankful that I did. What a great path since then. The Adagio House is an amazing service to the community. From camps and activities to counseling services; the Adagio House is a place where everyone is a support system for individuals with needs and their families. Helping out this organization holds a special place in my heart.
