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
