Eric MacLise Episode 20

Jenna Rae and Ashley Nicole are twin sisters and co-owners of Jenna Rae Cakes (JRC). Jenna and Ashley join Eric to discuss how JRC has been managing amid the pandemic, and if more at-home banana bread and sourdough is affecting business. Eric asks Ashley how JRC rode the early waves of Instagram to grow their brand outside of Winnipeg, and Jenna explains why she quit her dentistry track to get serious with cake design. Then, Jenna and Ashley share the joys of getting their cookbook published; Jenna Rae Cakes and Sweet Treats: Over 100 Recipes for the Modern Baker is available everywhere on October 6th.
