What It's About
An update from our favorite cake baker in Toronto and beyond.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1587
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Recent adventures in this segment have included neurogum (performance energy in the form of gum), a 7-figure handkerchief business that pivots to face masks during COVID, and eco-friendly candles that were featured on Good Morning America. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll visit Toronto, Canada and hear from my favorite cake baker, Karen Nguyen. We first featured her in Ep. 944, and I had the experience of enjoying an amazing custom cake decorated for my book when I was last in Toronto. What’s happened since? Let’s hear directly from them. I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up. Listen to today's episode to hear Karen's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
