About Me:

I am a former web designer who is passionate about food, enough so to start my own bakery. I believe that with pastry, I can express my true artistic vision, or, as I like to say "why I was put on the planet."

About My Company:

My husband and I started the bakery about 5 years ago, focusing on providing breakfast pastries and cakes to wholesale clients. It was a great way to get started as we had low overhead and minimal risk. We just recently realized our dream of opening a retail shop and much is at stake. After almost finishing our first year, we have much to learn.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
