Bake time: 4 years and still baking... Number of servings: 200,000 and counting...
Ingredients:
- Start with 3 Women entrepreneurs who combined their 43 years of baking and business experience
- Blend with God's direction (always there if you listen)
- Add God's blessing (always there if you are patient)
- Sift together 3 husbands (very supportive) and gently fold in 6 teenagers (usually supportive)
- Sprinkle on a generous amount of God's grace (always there)… and start baking!
Begin in April 2002…
The first woman (Trish) a self-taught baker/creator started baking for her children and a few fortunate friends. Word got around (you know how that goes!). Soon she had even more friends! Trish and her cakes were a constant request for girlfriend’s birthday celebrations at local restaurants. The restaurant owners wanted more than just a taste. She agreed to create desserts that worked with their menus. Soon Trish was baking day and night. When the batter got too thick, Trish decided to add the second woman (Jayne). Jayne had just left an executive position to spend more time with her family. Trish knew that Jayne loved to bake but she loved the business of baking even more. The word spread that there were people who still “crack their own eggs” and make baked-from-scratch desserts. The demand was overwhelming!
With too many orders and not enough ovens a third ingredient was required to finish the recipe successfully. While working outside the home, Jayne met woman number three (Stacey). Now Stacey, a successful professional chef, who wanted to expand her personal chef business, was looking for a partner. Little did Trish and Jayne know that Stacey’s passion was pastry! A meeting was planned and it soon became apparent that each woman had something unique to bring to the mix and the recipe was complete.
Two years later…
Blending in the continued support of many happy restaurants, corporations and retail customers, a network of friends and advisors we opened the first retail bakery for 3 WOMEN AND AN OVEN (did we mention we now have multiple ovens?).
Now comes the exciting part (drum roll, please...)
