👋 HELLO, IT’S ME! 👩🍳✨
With so many new faces around here lately, I thought it was the perfect time to step out from behind the mixer and introduce myself!
I’m Kaela, the face, the hands, and the messy-apron-wearer behind Opal & Wheat. I started this home bakery journey because I wanted to bring a little bit of scratch-made comfort and joy to our amazing local community here in Kansas!
To get to know me a little better, here are 3 fun facts about me that have absolutely nothing to do with baking:
1️⃣ I’m a nursing student! 🩺 When I am not kneading dough, I am buried in ATI modules, nursing theories, and clinical labs. Balancing school and a business is a wild ride, but I love it!
2️⃣ I have an 11-month-old pup named Scooby Doo. 🐕 He is a goofy Labrador Retriever Pointer mix who takes his job as house protector very seriously.
3️⃣ I am a mom of three! 🧒👶 Life at home is beautifully chaotic, and baking is my creative sweet escape.
When I'm not covered in flour and sugar, you can usually find me hanging out with my family or catching up on much-needed sleep.
Thank you ALL so much for supporting my small business dream—whether you’ve stopped by my booth at the Valley Center Farmer's Market, shared my posts, or are coming to see us at Halstead Brick Street Arts & Crafts Festival! It truly means the world to me.
