Cozy Fox Bakery
Professional Impact
Ryan Delorme, owner of Cozy Fox, has turned a lifelong love of baking into a business inspired by The Great British Bake Off. After spending years working in the restaurant industry as both a server and manager, Ryan began experimenting with macarons, a pastry he had always loved but wanted to master himself. What started as a year-long journey to perfect macarons for his wedding favors gradually grew into something much bigger. Friends began requesting his creations for special occasions, and those early opportunities helped turn a personal passion into a growing business. Today, through Cozy Fox, Ryan enjoys sharing his creativity and love of baking with others, bringing unique, handcrafted treats to celebrations and community events throughout the area.
Personal Passions
Outside of Cozy Fox, Ryan enjoys reading fantasy and science fiction, baking simply for the enjoyment of it, building LEGO sets, and studying chess and Japanese. He also plays the cello and participates in theater whenever time allows. With interests that span the arts, strategy, and lifelong learning, Ryan enjoys finding new ways to challenge himself and explore his creativity. Whether he is working on a new baking idea, learning something unfamiliar, or spending time on one of his many hobbies, he appreciates the opportunity to keep growing and trying new things.
Love for Androscoggin
Ryan enjoys experiencing the local community through its events, small businesses, and great food. The Lewiston-Auburn Balloon Festival is a must-see, while the Sunday farmers market in Lewiston and the shops along Lisbon Street offer plenty of opportunities to explore and support local businesses. When it comes to local dining, Ryan recommends Terry & Maxine’s in Turner, especially their corned beef hash. Through Cozy Fox, he also enjoys finding ways to connect with the community and introduce new people to the delicious world of macarons. Participating in events like Taste the Harvest gives him an opportunity to share his creations, meet fellow community members, and be part of the local experiences that make Androscoggin County special.
