E13 - Jenna Rae Cakes - Best friends, best cheerleaders, best in what they do. How twin sisters overcame it all to build a highly successful bakery brand!
Hey everyone, this week we are really excited to head to Winnipeg in Canada to speak with two very well-known twin sisters Jenna and Ashley of Jenna Rae Cakes.
This is quite a story because what you see today of there amazing company has so much behind to get it to where It is. Jenna is the baker and Ashley is the designer. The beauty about this pairing meant that Ashley always had Jenna's back when it came to an outside mind to help style, present, and market Jenna’a creations.
But it wasn’t easy. Jenna spent years working in a commercial kitchen through the night to bake as she couldn’t bake at home. Then going off to do her day job in between.
Ashley was working in graphic design and had her own career but could see how she could help her sister in marketing these beautiful creations. But it wasn’t always planned this way. It never is right?
But look at them now. Food Network cake judges, numerous TV and magazine features, 3 shops, a best-selling recipe book.....it’s amazing! I can’t wait for you to hear their story…. So let’s jump right in with Jenna Rae Cakes.
