Vendor Spotlight!!!

              Frost & Layer Bakery

So excited to celebrate one of our favorite sweet treat creators this month!  Everyone... this is Amanda from Frost & Layer Bakery! 

I have known Amanda for a handful of years now meeting through our 9-5. In fact, we have been known as " The Amanda's" and I think we both get a kick out of that. 

I have asked Amanda to answer some questions for me  and I am very excited to feature her as we end the holiday season on a sweet note. 

As a personal taste tester of her product I can tell you she does not disappoint!!!

1. How long have you been in business?
A: "Officially, 4 years. Though I have been baking for roughly ten! I started paying attention to my mom and grandpa when they would bake together in the kitchen, and I started picking up tricks from them. My first official cake was made for a co-worker about 7 years ago."
 
2. Do you cater to events outside of weddings?
A: "Yes! I cater down to the smallest event. I’ve made everything from little cakes for engagement proposals, to smash cakes for babies, to the big events like bridal showers and weddings."
 
3. What details do you think make the best event?
A: "Food and people! No matter what the event is, nobody is going to remember what color balloons were there, – they’re going to remember the food and they’re going to remember how great the atmosphere was with all of their loved ones that created all of their great memories."
​

4. What have been some of your favorite weddings and why?
​A: "All weddings are fun because each one is different from the last, but this summer I was the maid of honor for my best friend’s wedding in Marquette, MI. I planned it, I decorated it, I was in it, and I catered for it! Because we were so far away from home, I was baking and decorating 200+ cupcakes in a random AirBnB kitchen, so I really had to be on my game. It was a challenge, but totally worth it. Plus, she gave me complete creative freedom, which are always the best events to bake for."
 
5. What do you encourage clients to stay away from when planning their wedding/or when working with you and your craft?
A: "I always encourage trying not to worry to about every little detail – to trust in and leave all the minor pieces to the professionals who really own their craft. Too many options and too many ideas can create a really chaotic environment for the client. People who are passionate about what they do, will never deliver less than their best for their client."

6. What is the ABSOLUTE best part about what you do for your clients?
A: "The best part about baking, no matter how big or small the event is, is being able to create something that makes such a big and positive lasting impression on the client and their big day. It’s something that makes their event go that much smoother, and tastier!" 

Thank you Amanda for allowing us to pick your brain and feature your product this month!
