Today’s guest is Susan Sarich, founder and CEO of SusieCakes, the nostalgic bakery known for its made-from-scratch Americana desserts. Since opening the first SusieCakes’ location in 2006, Susan has expanded the brand across the U.S. with over 30 locations in California, Texas, and Tennessee.
Susan joins host Jessie Sheehan to share the heartfelt story of how her two grandmothers inspired her baking career and her business. Then, the duo dives into SusieCakes’ signature Vanilla Celebration Cake recipe, a four-layer confetti-filled vanilla cake topped with the bakery’s signature retro-blue buttercream, which was inspired by Susan’s grandmother’s vintage Pyrex mixing bowl.
