Today we’d like to introduce you to Julie Curry.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
When I was pregnant with my first child, I became concerned with the quality of my food and started cooking most of my meals at home. I discovered my love of cooking and the way that food brings people together; I wanted to help others share a moment with the special people in their lives. I’m lucky to be operating in a time that social media has really taken off. Seeing our customers share their excitement with family & friends through pictures is really rewarding.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Definitely, navigating a restaurant through COVID has posed its challenges. We had to quickly adapt our menu to be takeout friendly, create an easy online ordering platform, and facilitate a contactless pickup location in the restaurant. I feel like we adapted well, and with the amazing support of our community, were able to not only survive but thrive during this time.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Bake’n Babes makes a variety of cookies, sleazy brownies, & soft-serve treats! We like to make everything very photogenic and fun so it’s a memorable experience. I think one thing that sets us apart from other bakeries is our love for social media. We love connecting with our guests and seeing those over the top treats being enjoyed. Having Lizzo come in for a Freak Shake was definitely one of our favorite moments!
Any big plans?
We’re a relatively new business, but the community has welcomed us with open arms. As a Tampa native, I hope that Bake’n Babes can become a Tampa staple and be a part of special moments for years to come. We are one month into our new home inside Armature Works, and we love every minute of it!
