Katy was born and raised in West Lafayette. Katy grew up cooking and baking with her mom and grandma. She has always had an affinity for sweets and began baking on her own as soon as she was old enough to hold the hand mixer with out sending batter flying all over the kitchen. It has always been a dream of Katy's to own her own bakery and when the opportunity presented it self last year she jumped at the chance to make her dream a reality. She named the bakery in the memory of her grandmother who was a constant source of inspiration and true testament to what we can achieve if we just believe in our selves.
Molly Greenwood: My career in baking began in my mothers kitchen I was alwasy trying to help as soon as I was able to reach the counter. I decided to make a career out of baking when I first visited the Hyde Park, New York area and saw The Culinary Institute of America. My parents always pushed for me to attend college and when I saw that school my first reaction was "you can really go to school for cooking?" Before leaving the lafayette area I worked as a baker at Vienna Espresso Bar and Bakery under Lisa Parker. In 2005 I headed east to begin my culinary journey at The Culinary Institute of America. I graduated with an Associates Degree in Occupational Studies: Baking and Pastry in 2007. I moved back to the Lafayette area to attend Purdue University where I am still currently studying Hospitality and Tourism Management. When I first returned to the Lafayette area I learned a lot more about the culinary side of the industry from Chef Brannon Soileau and Chef Christi Soileau, former owners of Maize. I have worked in a range of places such as Nashville, TN where I externed at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, San Diego where I learned about wedding cakes at The Renaissance Bakery, and now back in Lafayette, IN where I am refining my cake skills at the Yellow Bowl Bakery with Katy.
