#Ep 93: Spreading Joy Beyond The Kitchen With Sweet Kate Bakes

WEBVTT
00:00:02.504 --> 00:00:04.649
Hey, sweet friends, my name is Chef Sean Bird.
00:00:04.649 --> 00:00:08.925
I started my baking business with a bottle of DeSorono and one Bundt cake pan.
00:00:08.925 --> 00:00:13.964
Fast forward to today, from news to magazines, speaking on national stages and more.
00:00:13.964 --> 00:00:17.114
I can truly say that baking has changed my life.
00:00:17.114 --> 00:00:21.932
So now, as a bakery business coach, I get to help others have the same success.
00:00:21.932 --> 00:00:28.455
I've helped hundreds of my students across the world in my global membership program create six-figure businesses, mainly from home.
00:00:28.957 --> 00:00:36.805
The Baking for Business podcast is an extension of that, from actionable tips to valuable tools and resources that can impact you as a business owner.
00:00:36.805 --> 00:00:38.429
I truly believe y'all.
00:00:38.429 --> 00:00:42.826
We would never have been given a gift if we couldn't profit and prosper from it.
00:00:42.826 --> 00:00:44.070
So come on, darling.
00:00:44.070 --> 00:00:45.031
What are you waiting for?
00:00:45.031 --> 00:00:52.503
Hey, what's going on?
00:00:52.503 --> 00:00:53.204
Baking friends?
00:00:53.204 --> 00:00:55.511
And welcome to the Baking for Business podcast.
00:00:55.511 --> 00:00:59.750
Today, you are going to just feel so joyful.
00:00:59.750 --> 00:01:11.765
You have no choice but to feel joyful, because whenever Caitlin Brewer slides down your feed, you always know that positive vibes are ensured to follow.
00:01:11.765 --> 00:01:15.218
And so today on the Baking for Business podcast, we actually have Caitlin Brewer from Sweet Cake Bakery here.
00:01:15.218 --> 00:01:18.105
So, Caitlin, welcome to the Baking for Business podcast.
00:01:18.665 --> 00:01:19.728
Thank you so much.
00:01:19.728 --> 00:01:21.373
I'm overjoyed to be here.
00:01:21.373 --> 00:01:23.784
Thank you so much for having me.
00:01:23.784 --> 00:01:26.850
I'm a fan of the show, so it's a little surreal to be on here.
00:01:26.850 --> 00:01:27.352
Thank you.
00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:28.740
Absolutely.
00:01:28.740 --> 00:01:35.915
You're more than welcome, beautiful, and so, for those who may not know about you, tell me how did you start your journey, or how did you get started with baking?
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:53.873
definitely baked goods, and so growing up I would always go on donut runs with my dad or to a fun bakery to grab some sweet, to show some love to my mom from him to her, which is always very special.
00:01:53.873 --> 00:02:07.123
And then, of course, the spark of the love of baking with family whether it's cookies or cakes was always there for sure, because that was a big way people showed love in our community.
00:02:07.123 --> 00:02:37.311
And so when I started watching these shows of Cake Boss and Cupcake Wars, I was like, oh my gosh, there's more to baking than I even knew, and I wanted to get in the kitchen and try it out and have incredibly supportive parents that let me get into the kitchen and really just experiment, make a lot of mess and a lot of joy through that process of just trying, which was so much fun, with a lot of failures, I got to say, but a lot of sweet success too.
00:02:38.820 --> 00:02:39.985
Amen, I love that.
00:02:39.985 --> 00:02:42.754
It's always a blessing when we have supportive parents.
00:02:42.754 --> 00:02:48.289
Did you have a grandma or anyone else in the family who had the baking bug, or you just got bit by it?
00:02:48.972 --> 00:02:49.633
Absolutely.
00:02:49.633 --> 00:02:56.993
I have grandparents that love it, specifically my grandma and my aunt Shannon.
00:02:56.993 --> 00:03:08.395
She had a cookie business on the side and it was the best days ever because she never had children of her own, but she would always have her nieces and nephews over for sleepovers and I always wanted to bake with her.
00:03:08.395 --> 00:03:14.528
So that was definitely a kindling of this baking fire that started.
00:03:15.430 --> 00:03:16.192
I love that.
00:03:16.192 --> 00:03:21.290
And for those who are unfamiliar, what state are you in and how do you operate?
00:03:21.290 --> 00:03:22.795
Are you a cottage baker?
00:03:22.795 --> 00:03:25.462
Do you use commercial space or do you just keep it cottage, or how do you operate?
00:03:25.462 --> 00:03:25.667
Are you a cottage baker?
00:03:25.667 --> 00:03:27.425
Do you use commercial space, or do you just keep it cottage, or how do you operate?
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:43.389
So I am located in Utah and I work under cottage food, so I have half my business of doing orders and then I have the other half of sharing the joy online, which is so fun that I get to have feet in both and party through each.
00:03:44.413 --> 00:03:45.033
Absolutely.
00:03:45.033 --> 00:03:46.920
I love both.
00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:48.263
I'm a huge fan of that.
00:03:48.263 --> 00:03:55.324
When it comes to building a business and getting started, because so many bakers they have this joy like you.
00:03:55.324 --> 00:04:02.229
Maybe they enjoy it, but there's always this fear of should I go for it, should I start the business?
00:04:02.229 --> 00:04:11.162
What made you decide to say you know what I'm actually going to turn this into a business and actually start offering your sweets and your cakes to your local community.
00:04:11.902 --> 00:04:12.805
I love that yes.
00:04:12.805 --> 00:04:18.937
So how I got started was I was 14 when I started.
00:04:18.937 --> 00:04:33.649
I was 13 when I started sharing the things I was making in the kitchen with my community and then in my church, one of the young women's leaders was like hey, will you make cupcakes for my kid's birthday coming up?
00:04:33.649 --> 00:04:35.708
And I was like heck, yes, let's do it.
00:04:35.708 --> 00:04:40.766
Both my parents are entrepreneurs and from a young age I caught that bug of you know what?
00:04:40.766 --> 00:04:43.324
We're going to make magic happen, let's do it.
00:04:44.122 --> 00:04:57.651
And so it was through that process of just saying yes to the things that came way and incredibly supportive people that saw that talent in me and nourished it through support, that really grew that passion.
00:04:57.651 --> 00:05:21.434
And I'm so grateful for that opportunity that, even as I think, in my adolescence, as a child, to have that excitement for saying yes, because as an adult it can be really scary because we've seen the consequences of maybe things not going so well and so I try to hold on to that young spirit of you know what?
00:05:21.434 --> 00:05:31.088
This is really just a joyful thing and we're going to have highs and lows because we truly care about it and that is a superpower, in my opinion.
00:05:32.091 --> 00:05:37.689
It really is and, like another superpower, you so gracefully show up and talk about that.
00:05:37.689 --> 00:05:46.663
Like, although you always have this positive attitude, you're not afraid to say, hey, I'm going to give this a try and I don't know how it's going to go.
00:05:46.663 --> 00:05:54.586
Or hey, here's a recent fail, and so I love that, because too often people struggle with being vulnerable on social media.
00:05:54.586 --> 00:05:58.521
Where do you get all this confidence from that you exude.
00:05:59.603 --> 00:06:15.653
Oh, you are so kind and I'm personally a very spiritual person and so my confidence or my joy, I like to say, comes from knowing my identity as a child of God, and so that is the most important thing.
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:25.829
And there's going to be other influences in this world, but it's that pure identity of who we are, meaning that we've been given a purpose to do here.
00:06:25.829 --> 00:06:33.839
We've been given certain talents and gifts and interests that are supposed to not only support us but also others.
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:47.552
I love that you say in your message of the podcast that we've been given gifts for not only profitability but prosperity, and that's where that central why comes from for me.
00:06:47.552 --> 00:06:55.048
So when those imposter syndromes or feelings of doubt come in, I'm able to go back to you know what.
00:06:55.048 --> 00:07:19.680
There's someone out there like me because I'm self-taught and I learned so much from other bakers being willing to share that needs, this, and sometimes it's me going back to my own content and be like, oh yeah, I learned this already, but it's super helpful, and so I just try to talk to the one and I'm amazed at how the one has multiplied and that is truly a blessing, I see.
00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:21.802
Oh, my gosh girl.
00:07:21.802 --> 00:07:23.322
Most beautiful answer.
00:07:23.322 --> 00:07:23.762
I love it.
00:07:23.762 --> 00:07:29.446
And you're right, that's the best way for us to serve the many is to just by showing up and serving one.
00:07:29.446 --> 00:07:31.127
So I love that.
00:07:31.127 --> 00:07:36.149
Your faith plays an amazing part in your beautiful personality.
00:07:36.149 --> 00:07:48.117
You always have the most cutesy looking dresses, and so that transition to the wedding cake business.
00:07:48.117 --> 00:07:50.358
How is that?
00:07:50.358 --> 00:07:59.696
So what are some tips that you have for growing that portion of the wedding cake business for those who, like a lot of bakers, are looking to jump over and get started in the wedding industry?
00:08:00.678 --> 00:08:13.264
Yes, weddings are such an exciting thing because they're high risk, high reward, which means they're high risk and high reward, and so something that has really helped with that is one.
00:08:13.264 --> 00:08:31.708
Yes, we want to make the money, but also I want to create a special moment for you guys.
00:08:31.708 --> 00:08:33.991
So that starts from meeting the couple.
00:08:33.991 --> 00:08:44.236
I got my name out with word of mouth, along with social media, going to these wedding expos and sharing the, the magic that is you.
00:08:44.470 --> 00:08:46.134
I think people, there's a reason.
00:08:46.134 --> 00:09:10.360
People follow you not just on social media, but want to be around you, because you have the energy and the joy that people want to hold on to, and so being able to share that with others is very impactful and it will carry you through your business if you're able to share your heart and who you are, which can be really scary, because whenever we put ourselves out there, there can be a rejection.
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:11.575
But you know what?
00:09:11.575 --> 00:09:23.832
We're not for everybody, and that's okay, but you are for somebody, and when you're going into stretching into the wedding cake business, I want you to create that why?
00:09:23.832 --> 00:09:26.500
Because that's going to be what propels you forward.
00:09:27.770 --> 00:09:28.975
That's a beautiful answer.
00:09:28.975 --> 00:09:30.759
You're so right.
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:31.643
I love that.
00:09:31.643 --> 00:09:49.205
And so, speaking of sharing sharing you and the things that make you, as you've grown your business, which has done amazing you in turn turned around and you began to share things from your business, aka digital products, as we know.
00:09:49.205 --> 00:10:00.645
But there is always a jump to that because so many people like yourself, you get asked questions what's this, what's your flavor, what's this?
00:10:00.645 --> 00:10:05.309
And I find so many bakers struggle with I don't want to give my recipe.
00:10:05.309 --> 00:10:15.976
There's this mindset of if I give this person this thing, they're going to do better than me, they're going to go further than me, they're going to take my recipe and walk away and turn into a millionaire.
00:10:15.976 --> 00:10:26.914
And so, when it came time to not just sharing the tips in your business, but opening up and sharing your recipes and your business with people, how did you manage to do that?
00:10:26.914 --> 00:10:34.273
Was there ever that hump there, that thought, or what was the mindset shift that allows you to say you know what honey have my recipe?
00:10:35.716 --> 00:10:55.894
Definitely it's a big step to transition and what really helped me was it was quite organic, where I was sharing just like the excitement of like yo, I made this like to my friends and family on social media to being more of a business owner of hey, look what I can make for you with those transitions.
00:10:55.894 --> 00:11:04.038
And then, where it turned into those digital products, were people asking you know what I'm struggling with my buttercream, like, can you please help me?
00:11:04.038 --> 00:11:12.759
And at first I really had that mindset of but like if I share it with you, who knows if I'll ever get an order again, which is terrifying.
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:31.792
But what I found is there is a need and when you're part of the baking community, there is more support than you could ever imagine when you open your heart to it and you also share in it, because there is need for sweet treats everywhere.
00:11:31.792 --> 00:11:36.179
There is donuts in every gas station across the country.
00:11:36.179 --> 00:11:45.197
If that is so attainable, people will find you and it's being open to that that matters the most.
00:11:45.618 --> 00:11:58.921
And so seeing that and seeing the outpouring of love and also the need for help helped me take the things I was holding on to with such fervor.
00:11:58.921 --> 00:12:00.410
And you know what I found?
00:12:00.410 --> 00:12:18.375
That when you just like leaders, you lead better with an open hand than you do with a tight fist, because you're able to share, and that really helped me transition and because it wasn't about I'm amazing, check out this recipe, I'm the most incredible.
00:12:18.375 --> 00:12:20.078
It was hey, I see you.
00:12:20.078 --> 00:12:21.461
I see that you're struggling with this.
00:12:21.461 --> 00:12:31.711
This is what I've learned and that made all the difference learned and that made all the difference.
00:12:31.731 --> 00:12:32.735
So true, I love the way you addressed that mindset.
00:12:32.735 --> 00:12:41.042
And so, speaking of products, what are some of the ones that you have, or maybe, let's say, your your top three sellers that you have that you offer to others as well?
00:12:41.950 --> 00:12:42.410
Absolutely.
00:12:42.410 --> 00:12:50.519
So yes, I have the successes, but I also want to say I do have the flops, where I've put out a product and it has flopped and it's terrible.
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.376
But you know, we learned something different.
00:12:52.376 --> 00:12:56.461
The need I saw wasn't quite there in the product and that's okay.
00:12:56.461 --> 00:13:08.245
So those things are going to happen and they're great data points to be able to one grieve that expectation but also be like, okay, this wasn't quite right.
00:13:08.245 --> 00:13:09.066
Was it the price?
00:13:09.066 --> 00:13:10.272
Was it the content?
00:13:10.272 --> 00:13:12.456
Was it how I presented it to people.
00:13:12.456 --> 00:13:13.539
That's very important.
00:13:14.041 --> 00:13:21.811
So I started out with my buttercream masterclass because I saw so many questions around buttercream and I was like I get it.
00:13:21.811 --> 00:13:29.793
I see all these different types of buttercream, but I also know from experimenting with them they are for different purposes.
00:13:29.793 --> 00:13:39.900
In my experience of humidity and super dry and the crazy temperatures, we can be battling with a delicious cake.
00:13:39.900 --> 00:13:43.399
Also, the preferences of sweetness can be adjusted.
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:51.832
So I really wanted to, in a digital format, sit down and share that and that was a great seller at first.
00:13:51.832 --> 00:13:58.884
And then I found classes online very helpful where it was a live class.
00:13:58.884 --> 00:14:14.503
That was very beneficial for my bottom line, where I could hop on literally Instagram video call with someone across the country or across the world and be able to share information on a one-on-one basis.
00:14:14.503 --> 00:14:16.495
So those two were great.
00:14:16.909 --> 00:14:42.163
And then the most recent success I've had is with a recipe which I call magic with cream, because again I saw people wanting this structural buttercream but not loving how heavy it can be and their customers wanting something different, and it was truly a order I got of, like, hey, we would love these cupcakes and can you do it with whipped cream?
00:14:42.770 --> 00:14:54.434
And I was crazy enough to say, yes, I'll figure out a way to make this happen where it needed to sit out in the heat over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and I was like, ok, this is the time.
00:14:54.434 --> 00:14:59.344
I needed that little kick of a deadline to figure something out.
00:14:59.344 --> 00:15:12.447
And through this experimenting I found a whipped cream recipe that not only was delicious and customizable in flavor, but it really held up in stacked cakes, in cupcakes, outside in the heat.
00:15:12.447 --> 00:15:44.895
It was amazing and from that recipe I've been able we just hit $40,000 over a year and a half of selling it, and that has been a huge blessing in our business, so much so that I've been able to hire my husband, which is like the craziest thing ever, but it's is such a blessing, and when you open your hand to helping others, they definitely come back far more than you can ever imagine, and I'm so grateful for that.
00:15:45.977 --> 00:15:47.942
Yes, amen, girl.
00:15:47.942 --> 00:15:51.817
And so 40,000 from one product, or just one product?
00:15:51.817 --> 00:15:56.370
Yeah, man, that's why I'm always telling people that is so awesome.
00:15:56.370 --> 00:16:10.011
And here's the crazy thing you said it was buttercream, and I know there are hundreds of buttercream recipes out there, but $40,000 from one buttercream recipe, man, that is mind blowing, girl.
00:16:10.011 --> 00:16:11.177
I love that result.
00:16:11.177 --> 00:16:11.732
That, right there.
00:16:11.732 --> 00:16:15.614
I know it's going to bless somebody, because so many people are afraid to even sell the cake.
00:16:15.614 --> 00:16:37.072
And here it is You're selling the buttercream which could go with a cake a trifle, a cupcake, a filling or anything.
00:16:36.910 --> 00:16:38.392
Girl, you go, girl, that is so awesome and y'all yes, of course, the link to that buttercream recipe will be in the show notes.
00:16:38.392 --> 00:16:39.850
And so what are some of your favorite platforms to sell your products on?
00:16:39.850 --> 00:16:48.552
Okay, I love this question because when I wanted to start diving into this, I was like, okay, I don't have the capital to pay for, like, this $10,000 platform for the whole year.
00:16:48.552 --> 00:16:49.956
What can I do?
00:16:49.956 --> 00:16:52.562
So I did a bunch of research and I started on Podia.
00:16:52.562 --> 00:17:04.719
Podia is a website creator, but you can also host your online products through there, and I've had a relationship with them now, and I'm a fan of Podia, for sure.
00:17:04.719 --> 00:17:10.876
They are great to build your classes on as well as create the community from.
00:17:10.876 --> 00:17:15.635
They help you with emailing, so I'm a fan of that platform, for sure.
00:17:16.398 --> 00:17:34.023
But, of course, the internet is ever evolving and a platform that has really helped with just one just being able to make the transition or transaction easier for someone coming to your social media platform, is StanStore.
00:17:34.023 --> 00:17:42.650
So it's just yeah, yeah, store.
00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:59.085
So it's just yeah, yeah, which, if you're a creator, you know it's fabulous because it is a way that you can have other links to things, but it makes it so easy for the customer side of things, but also the business owner side of things, to be able to have that easy transaction, and trusted one.
00:17:59.190 --> 00:18:02.674
So highly recommend that, oh my gosh.
00:18:02.674 --> 00:18:07.461
Yeah, so my accountability buddy, irenia, she loves Podia.
00:18:07.461 --> 00:18:09.696
I'm a huge fan of Stan.
00:18:09.696 --> 00:18:14.737
In fact, stan was just down here this weekend and so I had the opportunity to record with them.
00:18:14.737 --> 00:18:17.358
So I love Stan's store.
00:18:17.358 --> 00:18:31.116
They are amazeballs and so also, aside from just the products, you also have some amazing opportunities, like you were recently on Crime Scene Kitchen, so tell us about that.
00:18:31.210 --> 00:18:38.461
How awesome was that it was wild and extraordinary and truly a blessed experience.
00:18:38.461 --> 00:18:44.195
I have had opportunities to go on other shows.
00:18:44.195 --> 00:18:50.515
Well, to apply to go on other shows and just have never made it through the casting process or it just didn't feel right.
00:18:50.515 --> 00:19:01.336
And so for this one, when they came and gave us or asked us to apply to Crime Scene Kitchen, I was like, oh my gosh, I love Yolanda, I'd love to go on this show, it's so fun.
00:19:01.336 --> 00:19:03.662
And they were like, who do you want to go with?
00:19:03.662 --> 00:19:15.599
And I'm like, well, I have these baker friends but like I would prefer my husband, but he's not a baker, but he is the biggest cheerleader and willing to learn and that was such a big blessing.
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:22.538
Like we had big nights where we were like, okay, this is what a measuring cup is and this is for liquid and all the fun things.
00:19:22.538 --> 00:19:28.480
But so that was months of casting and then to be able to go and film.
00:19:28.670 --> 00:20:01.920
So 2024, early in the year, we went to Toronto, Canada, to film everything which was extraordinary to like be able to be on set and truly the people we met behind the camera were the most incredible and kept us going through the very long days and I am just so thrilled to be able to watch it because we had to be so tight-lipped about it for so many months, it feels like, and so the first two episodes that we're in are out how the show works.
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:03.645
There are two different teams.
00:20:03.645 --> 00:20:15.780
We're on the family side of teams and then there's friends teams and they get eliminated throughout the weeks and then, if we make it, we get to merge and battle it out with the friends to see who can win.
00:20:15.780 --> 00:20:19.356
And it is so much fun because there's a mystery dessert.
00:20:19.356 --> 00:20:25.721
Something was baked in the kitchen and we have to come in and decipher what was made.
00:20:25.721 --> 00:20:29.138
And it is so much fun.
00:20:29.138 --> 00:20:36.977
It's also available on Hulu and airs every Thursday night on your local Fox channel, so highly recommend that.
00:20:38.191 --> 00:20:38.914
Absolutely.
00:20:38.914 --> 00:20:46.244
We'll all be tuning in and cheering you on and I'm so happy that you were able to have that amazing experience.
00:20:46.244 --> 00:20:52.018
I can imagine going to Canada and meeting Yolanda.
00:20:52.018 --> 00:20:53.642
She's been on a podcast also.
00:20:53.701 --> 00:21:14.155
It was so awesome was so awesome, it was so much fun and truly the joys of coming from saying yes, having that little moment of courage and you know what we're going to figure it out along the way and yeah, just huge blessings come from that.
00:21:14.316 --> 00:21:22.914
I highly recommend just like 10 seconds of courage come from that I highly recommend just like 10 seconds of courage, absolutely.
00:21:22.914 --> 00:21:30.270
And so what are some of the things that you recommend to a baker who is looking to get started with putting themselves out there?
00:21:31.673 --> 00:21:41.525
I love this question because it is often the adversary that tells us that we shouldn't use this light we have.
00:21:41.525 --> 00:21:46.718
We shouldn't use this spark of interest we have to share with others.
00:21:46.718 --> 00:21:52.692
That, to me, is a very divine gift and push of encouragement.
00:21:52.692 --> 00:22:09.751
And it's that adversary that tries to tell you that you're not worthy of even trying it, because they know the incredible power you have to uplift and love others and the joy that you can bring and help you can bring with others.
00:22:09.751 --> 00:22:44.961
And so taking a step back and looking at it in that way can really helps me and I hope, can help others, because remembering who you are and taking the step to just turn on the phone, like you would with your best friend talking on FaceTime, and trying it you know there's no issue in trying, and maybe you're like you know I didn't love how I said this or that, but looking at it from, I'm so proud of this girl for trying Like that is incredible, just like we would cheer on our best friend.
00:22:44.961 --> 00:22:47.050
You are your own bestie.
00:22:47.511 --> 00:22:50.999
Megan Trainor, who I love, has a song I want to be my bestie.
00:22:50.999 --> 00:22:54.652
Yes, oh, my gosh, that makes me so happy.
00:22:54.652 --> 00:23:06.538
So when I need a little confidence boost, I'll put some of that music on, and it reminds me life isn't so serious, cake is a joy and I'm gonna do my best.
00:23:06.538 --> 00:23:07.721
And you know what?
00:23:07.721 --> 00:23:09.698
At least at the end of the day, I learned something.
00:23:10.829 --> 00:23:12.375
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:23:12.375 --> 00:23:15.218
I love that From the bottom of my heart.
00:23:15.218 --> 00:23:17.970
You shared so many gems and nuggets.
00:23:17.970 --> 00:23:22.296
Caitlin, I wanna thank you so much for coming on the podcast today and sharing with us.
00:23:22.296 --> 00:23:24.319
It has been such a pleasure.
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:28.855
But before I let you go, we have to play a game of lightning round.
00:23:28.855 --> 00:23:29.538
Are you ready?
00:23:30.199 --> 00:23:31.721
Yes, thank you so much.
00:23:31.721 --> 00:23:34.713
It's been a joy and has truly filled my cup.
00:23:34.713 --> 00:23:35.817
So thank you so much.
00:23:36.417 --> 00:23:37.619
Absolutely beautiful.
00:23:37.619 --> 00:23:39.044
What is your favorite color?
00:23:39.044 --> 00:23:41.976
Pink, love it.
00:23:41.976 --> 00:23:44.122
What is a dessert you cannot live without?
00:23:45.690 --> 00:23:45.990
Cake.
00:23:45.990 --> 00:23:49.000
I know like I work with it every day but like I still just love cake.
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:49.520
It's so good.
00:23:49.520 --> 00:23:53.316
But I'm also not a snob about any dessert.
00:23:53.316 --> 00:23:56.039
Like, if it's sweet, I will take it, give it all.
00:23:57.803 --> 00:23:59.345
Who is your celebrity crush?
00:24:00.631 --> 00:24:04.221
My teenage heart loves Theo James from Divergent.
00:24:04.221 --> 00:24:06.837
That special place in my heart Okay.
00:24:08.671 --> 00:24:10.417
What is your favorite kitchen utensil?
00:24:11.430 --> 00:24:14.199
Oh, spatulas, offset, rubber, all of it.
00:24:14.239 --> 00:24:18.357
Give it to me, I love it, and what is your favorite book?
00:24:20.352 --> 00:24:21.513
Oh, this is so hard.
00:24:21.513 --> 00:24:25.181
I'm actually going to say children's book.
00:24:25.181 --> 00:24:32.805
It's called Splat and it's about a girl and her father just getting in the kitchen and having fun.
00:24:32.805 --> 00:24:39.373
That was one of the earliest memories I have of being like, oh my gosh, like you can get in the kitchen and have fun.
00:24:39.373 --> 00:24:43.167
Of course, I learned that at home, but like seeing that was very impactful.
00:24:43.167 --> 00:24:51.951
And Yolanda actually has a really cool version of that, a children's book where she tries to make a or Yo.
00:24:51.951 --> 00:24:55.862
The character in the book tries to make a cake, and so I'm a big fan of those.
00:24:57.269 --> 00:25:00.138
Absolutely Love all the answers.
00:25:00.138 --> 00:25:04.500
Caitlin, thank you so much for taking time out of your day to come and hang with us.
00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:08.840
We'll have all your information in the show notes and, once again, it was truly a pleasure.
00:25:09.750 --> 00:25:11.512
Oh, thank you so much, amanda.
00:25:11.512 --> 00:25:14.517
I'm so happy to be able to be here with you today.
00:25:14.517 --> 00:25:17.442
So thank you so much Wow you guys.
00:25:17.582 --> 00:25:20.691
How amazing was hearing Caitlin's testimony.
00:25:20.691 --> 00:25:29.545
Caitlin has such a spark and ball of just joy and she is sure to inspire anyone.
00:25:29.545 --> 00:25:36.652
I pray, if you're not following her, that you do so so that she can continue to feel more of that joy.
00:25:36.652 --> 00:25:52.500
And also for those who are building your business, I hope that her tips of just how she networks through community, how she shows up and shares her gifts, really inspire you as you go about building your cottage bakery and home baking business.
00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:59.160
And for those of you guys who are interested in selling digital products, I mean, how awesome was her testimony.
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:07.739
You know, the way she shares and delivers her message is so full of confidence, just so full of pure joy.
00:26:08.049 --> 00:26:23.500
I even had her come and teach my students inside of the digital product community because she is just amazing at sharing your gifts and sharing your knowledge and serving others through the content that you put out.
00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:26.136
So, once again, a special thanks to Kate.
