brittanéclair: the beginning

Having a mom as a pastry chef pretty much meant that I was born with butter, sugar and flour coursing through my veins - if I wasn’t making mud pies in the backyard, you could find me working with mom at the BofA stadium or wearing out my prized Easy-Bake Oven (“melted plastic” was among my specialties). Nobody was surprised when I enrolled in the Baking & Pastry program at CPCC following high school graduation.

As my luck would have it, the program was booked a full school year out, so I worked toward an associate’s degree instead and began my search for a part-time job. “Cake prep” at a Myers Park bakery seemed like the perfect path for me….if only I’d iced a cake before! Despite butchering my practice run (turns out watching ‘Ace of Cakes’ doesn’t count as real experience), the team saw the potential in me and hired me on full time.

Over the next year I learned from the bottom up as I worked my way from cake prep to cake decorator. But as it turns out, food service keeps you away from your family more than I liked… or maybe it was your classic quarter-life crisis that sent me back to school to get my associates in marketing! Regardless, I quickly discovered I enjoyed marketing so much that a professor convinced me to continue my education and earn a bachelor’s degree.

Fast forward a couple more years and I’m a UNCC graduate starting a new job as a marketing assistant! At last, the opportunity I’d been waiting for! The career of a lifetime!
