Today’s guest shares the importance of not JUST offering baked goods through your business, but having an intention and a purpose behind everything you do as a business owner and creative.
Join me as I chat with Emily Wilson of Philadelphia’s Em Wilson pastry. Not only does she make the most drool-worthy pretzels, laminated pastries, and other delicious treats, but she also places a big emphasis on filling a need in her West Philly community by offering local and sustainable products.
Today we’re chatting about:
Emily’s start in the pastry scene and how she worked her way through several Philadelphia bakery institutions
How Emily faced burnout and decided to leave the industry and start running bake sales to make rent
Em Wilson Pastry’s transition from shared church kitchen to a spacious studio in Philly’s Global Dye Works
Emily’s approach to pastry, workflow, and menu development
The importance of transparency as a business owner
How to determine the needs of your community and serve that through the way you do business
