After resigning from her teaching job of four years and a stint as an intern at a local designer cake bakery, Jeannie Hall decided to make baking cupcakes her own business, launching Bossy Baker last month, no longer just baking for friends and her husband’s office.
Now, she’s ready to branch out. Beginning Wednesday, September 23rd, she’ll have a twice-weekly (Wednesdays and Saturdays) pop-up shop at Due South Coffee at the Taylors Mill.
Hall says she’s constantly developing flavors and honing recipes like Coffee Chaos, with icing is made from a fresh pour-over made from local beans, or the Preppy Pumpkin, a pumpkin spiced cupcake with pumpkin icing. She will be bringing at least two flavors to her pop-up shop and will change out some flavors depending on the season.
Hall bakes her cupcakes with a buttercream base recipe and says that she likes to keep it simple. Her goal is to eventually source all ingredients fresh and local.
Like her company name, Hall has a take-charge attitude and is already searching for other pop-up shop opportunities. She also takes orders and delivers, all while working from her home kitchen around her 4-month-old daughter’s schedule.
