On the very first episode of SHOP CHOP, I talk with Jess the baker, aka the Awkward Pastry Chef. Jess is one of the hardest working creators and artists in Ventura, California, and her cakes, pies, and baked goods are truly next level. In this conversation, she talks about her path to becoming a baker, her indie business ethos, and the challenges of running a small business in the often daunting political economy of Southern California.
Check out the Awkward Pastry Chef Instagram and get some of those goodies!
