Kayla Melnick, Owner of GINGERSNAPS BAKERY

Raised by a mother who made special birthday cakes for every family member and a father who loved Food Network, it only made sense that Kayla Melnick would become a baker herself, driven by a love for bringing people together. Armed with business and pastry arts degrees, she opened GINGERSNAPS BAKERY, where she loves working with clients to make dessert dreams come true. “Being your own boss is not easy, but it can be extremely rewarding if you’re following your passion.”
