As a grandma who loves baking, Lana Pettit’s kids and grandkids often encouraged her to start her own bakery. Not wanting to be tied down to a brick and mortar, Pettit decided to take the leap and open Big Sky Buttercakes food truck in 2023.
Proudly touting the catchphrase “This ain’t diet food,” the menu features comfort foods like bacon bourbon caramel cheesecake, cream puffs, and of course, butter cakes.
“I'm always looking at expanding the menu and if things aren't a big seller, they come off the menu,” Pettit said. “I don't want to add too much though because I want it to be unique. This is stuff I feed my family so I'm not afraid to feed it to anyone else.”
