My Baking Journey

Are you a baker? Do you run your own cake business? Ever wonder if you're going about it the right way? Or perhaps you're thinking of taking the plunge and looking for an alternative to that career you're getting tired of? If so, this podcast is for you! We sit down with some of the brightest stars in the baking world. Chatting about how they got into baking, why they love it, and why some days it's the last thing they want to do.

As you'll hear, these bakers have worked hard and pushed through some trying times to create the magic they do in the kitchen.

E09 - Amy's Little Cakery - How to play the fine balancing act of having a day job and a baking job. Plus, what it's like to go viral!

February 27, 2023 • OLBAA • Season 2 • Episode 1

Welcome back to season 2! Have you missed us? We are so excited to be back and really happy to have another line-up of amazing bakers for this season.

Today, we’re in the North of England to speak with Amy of Amy’s Little Cakery. You may know her from some of her cartoon cakes she’s recently done, but this story goes back a little further.

Holding down a busy day job while also baking on the weekends is not easy, but welcome to Amy’s life. Regardless of this Amy has been able to put out all kinds of cakes. And not just fondant or buttercream. There are been florals, gravity-defying architectural cakes, wedding cakes, and of course, cartoon cakes to name a few.

Her desire to keep pushing herself and try new things has got her some interesting attention. Just this past week she went viral and ended up being interviewed on a US news channel. What does it feel like to go viral? How does one keep on top of all the busy schedules? What truly keeps this woman going? We’re about to find, so enjoy this episode and it’s good to be back!
