The 2016 trend has been popular lately. But I am bringing it back to circa 2014, where it all began!
1) 2014 is when I bought my 1st Kitchenaid mixer! It is still kicking to this day, and use it on the daily! Talk about well worth investment.
2) I learned what veganism was at Veg Fest, and became vegan in 2015.
3) Level V Bakery used to be called Veggie Berry! And I started experimenting by veganizing recipes and did my 1st market for funsies.
4) Fun fact: I was on a health train, and became a personal trainer for 1 year. Working 60 hour weeks became too brutal for me and I ended up leaving that profession.
5) I had more time for baking, so then I continued to experiment and trying out more complex recipes.
6) My friend asked me to bake her birthday cake for her. Then she shared it on the Vancouver Vegan FB group, then people started asking me about cakes!
7) Advertisement was word of mouth, and I started taking orders for cakes and doing this after my 9-5 job and on weekends. I even did wedding cakes and hosted events.
8) I decided to leave my cushy 9-5 job and make Level V Bakery my full time job. Tommy was always helping me out. And I opened our brick and mortar store in 2020.
