Bar Napkin Business

Angela Garbacz believes in dessert at every meal. Which is fitting, considering she owns Goldenrod Pastries - one of Nebraska's favorite pastry shops. But her journey to owning a bakery started as a food blog, transformed into a side hustle, and eventually into a brick and mortar bakery.  In this interview, we dive into the challenges Angela faced in building her business, including a frustrating first meeting with a banker when trying to get a bank loan; challenges in communicating with a construction crew when her only way to describe the build out was "it has to be cute"; and the social media philosophy that took her from a few fans to over 12,000 followers on Instagram.  Learn more at www.GoldenrodPastries.com or follow her on Facebook or Instagram at @Goldenrodpastries.
