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.

E10 - Finch Bakery - The story of Finch told for the first time! They were told it just wouldn't work. So how did they make Finch the brand they are today?
This week we’re talking to one of our most requested bakers to interview for this podcast - Finch Bakery - Rachel and Lauren, twin sisters who started this journey just over 10 years ago have built a well-known UK bakery bakery in the North West of England. Throughout this journey, it's amazing to see how they have stayed humble, true to themselves, and so transparent during the whole process.
If you want to know what it takes, and I mean what it TRULY takes in those first years of running a business, you must give this one a listen. It’s just not something you can learn in a business degree. You need to hear it from Rachel and Lauren. The hours, the hard work, and the desire to stay in it loving what you do even if you’re spending 18 hours a day on it. This… is genuine entrepreneurship.
This is a bit longer than most of our usual episodes, but we’re talking to two people not one so there’s a bit more to say! Stay with us as the untold story of Finch Bakery is about to be heard for the first time. Enjoy…
