Now you can read the Icon and eat it too!

Sherry Welch of Northern on Main, holds a tray of Ada's most popular bakery item - newly named the "Ada Icon cinnamon bun."

Naming of the bun commemorates the second anniversary of the Ada Icon's existence. It launched on the Ides of March in 2012.

"We thought it would be a neat idea to identify something uniquely Ada after the Icon," said Fred Steiner, of the online website. "Northern on Main agreed and we are happy to have our name on this popular hometown bakery item."
