Steph Uittenbogaard of Loveland, CO sells macarons with her cottage food business, Fifi’s Patisseries.

Steph never thought she’d run her own baking business, especially one focused on macarons. After her first attempt at making macarons, she never thought she would make them again!

But even when she eventually got the hang of making macarons, she never thought to sell them. As an introvert, the idea of selling her baked goods to strangers was quite intimidating. But with her husband’s encouragement, she took the plunge and started her business.

As you’ll see, Steph’s business trajectory has been quite different than most, and in this episode, she shares both the triumphs and challenges that she’s faced along the way.
