Readers of theday.com reacted with words of praise — and plenty of exclamation points — when Adam Young, owner and head pastry chef of Sift Bake Shop in Mystic, was named the Food Network’s “Best Baker in America” a week ago after competing on the bake-off show of the same name.

“Congratulations I’m very happy for you. Your bakery is wonderful!” — SNOWSTORM

“A quest for excellence. Many good things come to those who work hard and strive. Awards are great, but a thriving business making money and hiring many workers is even better. Congrats Adam. You deserved your success.” — Chris Ford1 “Now you can raise the prices! Lol” — RASCALS

“Wow, congratulations!! I watched the first show, Spring Baking Championship, and was very impressed with Adam Young during that competition. I’ll have to look to see if there are re-runs of the new one.” — Daily Reader

“Congratulations and well deserved. I have yet to buy anything which is not absolutely delicious.” — retired2010

“I very rarely, ever went into any kind of bake shop until Sift came along. Now I am addicted to the great coffee, the bread (to have with dinner) and every once in a while a scone or other treat just for fun. Oh, and congrats Adam!!!” — ssns4ever “Awesome! Congrats Adam!” — Richard Douglas “Congratulations Adam!!! So well deserved.” — RMA

“He should name his new establishment ‘Second Sift’ and only be open at night. Best of luck!” — Bergeron
