“Hi! I am Anna Paulsen owner of Lily & Sparrow Bakery, a licensed home bakery. Baking has always been a part of my life. When I was little, I would help my mom bake chocolate chip cookies and was in the kitchen quite a lot. Not much has changed, as I still spend a lot of my free time in the kitchen baking chocolate chip cookies (using the same recipe) or trying new things. In the spring of 2021, I graduated from Saint Paul College with an advanced pastry and baking certificate. I loved baking new things and expanding my skills during this one-year program. After graduation, a friend asked me to make cake pops for her grad party. I accepted the challenge, and my business was born!”
