It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Baking season. You’re in for a sweet treat today, because I spoke with one of the internet’s favourite bakers, Sarah Fennel of Broma Bakery (you might know her as the recipe developer who put the viral single-serve cookies on the map.)

Most of us have a thing that we love and are good at, that’s currently just a hobby or dream. If you’re listening to this and you WISH that thing you’re passionate about could be your career, this episode is for you. Sarah and I dive deep on overcoming impostor syndrome, how to know when it’s time to take the leap and go all in, figuring out how to monetize what you’re good at, and how she pivoted multiple times throughout her career.

And if you’re here for the sweet treats… we got you. Whether baking is your whole personality, or you’re a newbie who’s a little overwhelmed by a stand mixer, Sarah makes baking fun and accessible. We cover everything from the biggest mistakes people make with baking, to hot insider tips that will make your desserts that much better.

If you’re starting to get into the holiday spirit, make sure you listen till the end for Sarah’s go-to recipe recommendations for holiday entertaining.

Sarah Fennel is a recipe developer, photographer, and the creator of Broma Bakery, a wildly popular baking site with millions of followers across instagram and TikTok.
