6 words to describe your work:
flavorful, fun, whimsical, unique, bright, adventurous
A typical day in your life:
I usually wake up and drink coffee… a lot of coffee, drop my kiddo to school, then it’s off to the restaurant supply store for whatever supplies we might need. Most days I’m at the bakery at least 4-5 hours either decorating cakes or scooping cookie dough or helping with customers; and one or two days a week I'll work from home on the boring stuff that helps keep the business moving! THIS morning I rolled 8 king cakes in about an hour!! I love that every day looks a teeny tiny bit different!
Your favorite color:
I LOVE pink. Our logo is pink, my tumbler at my desk is pink, my key ring is pink, my purse is pink! Anything rose gold or soft pink is my jam!
What values do you bring to your work:
The value I come back to at the end of EVERY day, or at least try to, is that we are all made in the image of God. Every. Last. Human. And if we have even an ounce of God represented in ourselves that means EVERYONE is worth dignity and respect. When working in a customer service fueled industry, that can be a game changer to remember!!
Dream gig:
I would love to have a cooking show. Something where each episode we make dessert first, then open the fridge and figure out what’s for dinner and prepare it together! No weird ingredients or fussy directions… just COOKING!
How living in Louisiana affects your work:
People love their food in Louisiana, and specifically their aunt, grandma, mom, neighbor’s food… so it’s a fun challenge to make familiar things in a new way that doesn’t rival your favorite family recipe but rather allows for a fun/different alternative when mom isn’t around to make your favorite pie/biscuit/cookie!
The best part of what you do:
I love making sad days better with a cookie, GREAT days even THAT much better with a cookie, and making the every day just a little bit better… cause of a cookie!
The most challenging part of what you do:
Consistency and meeting expectations!
