Cookie Connection: Lucille’s Baked Goods delivers homemade delicacies to North Scottsdale
Lucille Abbene started Lucille’s Baked Goods from her Scottsdale home in 2022, and the business continues to thrive. Growing up in East Hampton, Long Island, Lucille Abbene spent years surrounded by the smell of fresh-baked doughnuts, pastries and fruit pies at her parents’ luncheonette.
A love for the culinary world extended into adulthood, when she began baking desserts of all kinds for her husband in her 30s.
She spent decades honing her craft, simultaneously balancing her career as a surgeon and moving several states before landing in Scottsdale, but she never thought she would turn that love for baking into a business. It was a kindness for her family and friends, and she loved spending hours weighing flour, perfectly combining the right amount of each ingredient and tinkering with different recipes.
