Bio:
This is perhaps my favourite story to tell! I began my university career pursuing Pharmacy. Growing up in a tiny town in Southern Saskatchewan, I didn’t even realize that doing culinary arts for a living was a possibility.

After taking a basic beginner cake class at a local craft store, and posting photos of my work on social media, I began taking order after order from my dorm room. This hobby quickly morphed from a stress relief, to a supplemental income to pay for university classes, and eventually, inspired me to change my path to obtain a degree in Business Management.

With those basic beginner cake classes being discontinued, I made it my goal to teach workshops and pass on what I love, to others. Because in all honesty, that one cake class changed my life path into a ‘sweeter’ direction!

The story behind the name.

Sweet Wheat Bakeshop is a home-based, licensed and insured bakery in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The ‘Sweet’ part of the business name, is actually a family name - my Great Grandma Sweet decorated wedding cakes back in the 1960’s! I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I hear that all of my grandmothers were incredible bakers, so I have them to credit. The ‘Wheat’ portion of Sweet Wheat, is a nod to my family roots in agriculture and this amazing province I’m privileged to call ‘home’.

Hi Annissa, Your workshop today was such a hit! I’ve had quite a few emails tonight telling me how much fun they had, how much they learned and what a professional workshop you ran! I think they were all pretty excited to go home and share their efforts with families! Thanks again!
