TBT: Luxury Buttercream Cakes Make Life Batter
Today, in our latest feature, we'll visit Toronto, Canada and hear from Karen Nguyen. We first featured her in Episode 944, and I had the experience of enjoying an amazing custom cake decorated for my book when I was last in Toronto.
Karen's side hustle is Sweet Afternoon—a home-based bakeshop that specializes in baked goods and custom cakes. She had always been baking growing up, but one day she was at home and felt this pressure to do something creative. She went down a YouTube rabbit hole of cake tutorials, thought "let's give this a shot," bought cake and whatever decorations she could find at the grocery store, and made her first cake. She had so much fun and wanted to keep practicing. Because it was a lot of cake just for herself and her family, she started bringing it into her workplace. And that eventually turned into a business.
