Ep. 2: Grit & Determination | Maricsa Trejo of La Casita Bakeshop

The first official WM guest episode is HERE! On this episode I get to chat with fellow Halloween Baking Championship contestant and business owner Maricsa Trejo. Maricsa and her partner Alex started their bakery, La Casita Bakeshop, in the back of a brewpub and have since grown into a 6,000 square foot production space and two coffee shops (and that's just the start!). Join us as we discuss business growing pains, making it as a female in a male-dominated industry, boundaries, and much more.BONUS: stick around until the end to hear a fun guest segment called BakeLibs, where Maricsa and I work together to write a silly biography about her baking life.

Ep. 1: Finding Your Baking Business Niche

It's the FIRST official episode of the pod, woo!
Do you ever feel like it's impossible to find clients who want to hire you for YOUR specific style, not just a carbon copy of a cake/dessert from Pinterest? Today, I'm discussing how to find the creative voice inside you, and how to translate that to your sweet or creative business. We're going to find the joy in saying NO and setting boundaries when it comes to what you offer, and learn how to tell your clients exactly what you do and don't offer in a way that doesn't seem scary or rude. BONUS SECTION: My sister Tess joins me for Smart Cookie, a segment where I invite my non-baker friends on the show and quiz them about baking for YOUR entertainment.
