Grace's French Bakery

How to Make Grace’s Bakery

First of all can I just say, WHEW!  This was a project and a half!  But, with patience and help from my awesome hubby, the Bakery replica is now complete.  This post is only to show you how to make the bakery.  And by Bakery, I mean the shell of it.  This is just the complete structure.  I have been working on this since the day I got Grace’s real French Bakery, January 1st.  I have made this design that I am sharing with you, but I have not finished the details yet.  So, I am now working on the painting and the fine tuning of the artwork on and in the bakery.  I will do a completely separate post of what comes with the Bakery on the inside, such as pastries, wall art, and furniture.  In the meantime, you can get busy making the structure too!

I am really excited about this project.  The original French Bakery from American Girl is priced at $500.  That is a lot of money!  I understand that not everyone can spend that.  But I also understand how much everyone loves this new piece of American Girl furniture regardless of the price.  My intentions with this project are to make sure that those who cannot purchase it, can at least make it for a fraction of the cost.  Please keep in mind that this is still a big project, so it’s not cheap even to make.  So far, the project has cost me  $65 for lumber, $5 for trim moulding, $72 for hinges (the best kind), $15 for plexiglass, $2 for knobs and the wood glue, nails etc. I had on hand.  That’s about $160 so far depending on what you have on hand.  I will be able to do the inside of the bakery for under $100.  That will be the total, about half the cost of the real thing!  For such a big piece, that’s amazing!

Please let me know what you think.  Leave a comment with any questions that you have.  You can also message me directly through the American Girl Ideas Facebook page.  Also, please post the pictures of your bakery on the Facebook page!  I love to see other ideas.

***Grace’s Bakery Instructions PDF

 Step 1:

You have already cut the bottom (floor) of the bakery.  It should look like a rectangle.  The first step is to create the curve.  I made mine into a point because it was easier for me and looked even.

Step 2:

Cut the notches for the hinges out.  Take your time, this will ensure your doors open and close properly.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 3:

Cut the bakery side window out.  You can leave this step out, but you will be missing an order window!

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 4:

Cut the notches out for the hinges shown below.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 5:

Cut the square window for the bakery.  Again, you can skip this step, but your bakery will not have sunshine!

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 6:

Cut the notches out for the hinges on the small door.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 7:

Cut the notches out for the hinges on the small right side door.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 8:

Measure and draw the bay windows on your large doors.  This will help you cut a perfect window.  Follow the measurements given below.

Step 9:

Start the construction by adding the left and right side of the bakery.  Use wood glue and nail into place.  The sides go all the way to the back of the floor.  *Normally in my projects I use the Kreg Jig and screw into place.  I did not do that for this project because I didn’t want any screws or pocket holes to show inside the bottom of the bakery. *

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 10:

Put glue on the sides of the back and slide into place.  You will then nail from the outside through the side walls into the back.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 11:

Screw your hinges into the notches on the side walls and then attach the small doors.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 12:

Screw your hinges into the notches of the small doors and then the large doors with windows.  They should now easily open and close.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 13:

Attach the front panel by using wood glue and nailing into place.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 14:

From the inside of the bakery, attach the door stop.  When you nail into place, be sure to use the 3/4″ or smaller nails.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 15:

Take the top right skirt and drill three pocket holes. Then attach the skirt with pocket hole screws.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 16:

Repeat step 15 for the left side skirt.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 17:

Before attaching the front main skirt, cut your arch on top.  You can also cut a small window if you want.  The measurements for both are in the diagram below.

Then drill 4 pocket holes, on the inside, for attaching the main skirt to the front panel.  Also, nail from the front of the main skirt into each side skirt.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 18:

Attach the shelf support by using wood glue and nailing into place.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 19:

You should have already cut out the shelf.  At this point it is still a rectangle.  Cut it to show the curve and then glue and nail it into place through the window.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Step 20:

Add the trim around the bakery.  Measure around your bakery and cut your trim accordingly.  No one’s trim will be exactly the same, that’s why I did not include measurements.

How to make Grace's French Bakery

Now your bakery “shell” is complete!  Be sure to spackle the nail holes, let the project dry untouched overnight, and sand down the entire piece really good.  I will be doing a Part 2 to this project.  Part 2 will cover the door knobs, plexiglass windows, bakery furniture, art and decor.  Stay tuned for that.  Until then, this should keep you busy!!

      Hi Rudy, thank you soo much for taking the time to make these plans, me and my husband are working on this every weekend you are right it is a big project but my daughter got Grace for Christmas 2015 there were no bakerys left. Actually barely anything left for that matter, anyways i have been trying to look for part 2 and cant find it to see the door knobs and other details. Was that ever posted? Thanks to your hard work my little girl will be getting bakery this xmas 2016. Thank you , Thank you, Thank you

          Part 2 was never posted. Instead, I posted several reader completed versions to help you out. Those show what type of paint they used, handles, knobs, and several other finishes. Drawer pulls work great for a lot of doll projects we’ve done. Also, if you want smaller, Hobby Lobby has beautiful tiny handles in their unfinished wood section. We used those for the Wellie Wisher Playhouse.

      My husband and I built this for our niece, on request (and financing) of her parents, my sister and her husband. My niece had been very disappointed the “real” bakery was no longer available. Your designs were perfect and saved us so much time! We surprised her with it last weekend, and she was so thrilled… brought tears to everyone’s eyes. I will send pictures to [email protected], would love for you to post them to your site.

      Thank you so much for posting your designs. The finished product is remarkably close to the original!

      Managed to put together the whole thing including the furniture with “scrap” wood I had left over from other projects. My Granddaughter really flipped when she saw the finished product. I made a sink as part of the stove unit by using the plastic container that small parts come in, then put a couple of coats of white enamel paint on it. Made a double oven with wire shelves – drilled holes same size as wire through both sides of oven, inserted the stainless steel wires, and covered the holes with wood filler before painting. Would send pictures if I could figur out how.

          I never posted a part 2. The plexi glass is screwed into place form the back, the knobs are from Home Depot and attached just like regular knobs. I need to look for the paint colors. I did post the names of those somewhere. So excited for your build!

      We finished our bakery and delvered it to our granddaughter for her 9th birthday on Sunday May 24th. Very grateful to you for the plans which you shared and also the great printables. We did have to do our own decorating and come up with our own stove/sink combo piece snce we had a deadline and could not wait for yours to be posted. I tried to post pictures to your brag area, but my attempts have all been rejected. Anyway, thanks for your help, not sure we ever would have finished otherwise. Everyone who has seen it has been blown away, especially by how much it looks like the real deal!

If you have time, I’d love for you to try to submit again. The pics just need to be smaller. I’m so glad everyone loves it but especially your granddaughter!

      One idea that I had before we found your website was to go to Habitat Restore and buy a used kitchen cabinet of the approximate dimensions of the shell. Our local Habitat usually has odd cabinets really cheap (20 to 35 dollars). This would require some reworking, but could be a good cheap starting place for those whose skills and budget are limited. Lay the cabinet on its side, remove any shelf, cut some windows in the ends and cut out most of the other side (the new top.) Make new doors, or just cut the old one in half down the middle and rehinge at each side. Not a perfect copy, but with some paint and accessories could be a cheaper alternative.

      Oh great Rudy because I haven’t got a clue of what I’m doing and if you can write up something for me I would so appreciate it. BTW I’m referring back to the apartment on top of the restaurant idea again if you don’t remember. I’ve been out of the loop for awhile. The winter up here has been brutal for viruses and the like!!

      Rudy, my little cousin loves baking and really would love this set. Sadly, there is no one I know who has the woodworking skill. I understand you might be doing a giveaway but chances of winning are low. This is just a suggestion that you DO NOT have to take. I was hoping you could at least make the shell for the bakery and I could figure out the rest. Of course, I would give you the money for all of your hard work. I totally understand if you can not accept this, and hope that I don’t seem greedy. If this can not work out, I will be happy to enter the giveaway. Thank you so much for all of your kind work.

    1. Kelly
      February 16, 2015 at 5:00 am –

      I love that you put all this detail into your instructions, but I’m wondering, I would like to turn this into a “Townhouse/Bakery” for my daughter. As if Grace opened her own Bakery in Boston. She would have her apartment on the top floor and the bakery on the bottom, so I would just double the measurements as if I were building two without separating the “Height” piece and maybe add a little more for depth, say about 6 or so inches. I know I would have to work out the the notches for the 2nd story floor shelf and I’m probably going to kick myself for trying to undergo this project. But I think it will be pretty straight forward if I just use basic doors and windows for the top floor separating them from the bottom floor and just use paint instead of wood to create a faux roof for the restaurant…Am I crazy and should scrap this Idea all together? Your thoughts for an over ambitious mom?

      February 13, 2015 at 7:50 pm –

      Now that AG has added a $35 shipping surcharge to Grace’s bakery, this DIY project is even a better idea! Thanks again for your hard work on these plans.

      Oh thank you so much for posting this! I am thinking in making it, but I would be doing it with foam core board and maybe will change it a little, so I can dismount it to put it away flat.

      This is incredible! That’s a huge savings, we could never afford the bakery set otherwise!

      You are very clever and you have done a really great job on this. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the rest of us. I love that you use good tools and do such a good job. No need of spending that much money and then doing a shoddy job! You’re the bomb!

      Thank you so much! I am so excited by this! I was just talking to my father in law the other day about doing this but you have done the all the measuring for us!!!! I just don’t think I can spend $500 on this. I’m maxing at about $300+ for an item. Can’t wait to see the other posts on this!

      I think if people want to buy for a million that it was rude first of for the one lady to start with no one should it’s not worth….bhall…..I think it is really nice for you to buy and then go through all the work to figure out a pattern and then share it with everyone for nothing. I want to make one or purchase one but I’m going to give it my all to try to win too! Thanks again.

      Is it possible to put hinges on the back corners so that the sides of the bakery can open up as well?
