A baker local to Bakersfield seems rather fitting, and Byanka is amazing at what she does. Byanka runs “Baked by B“, a cottage bakery here in our great city. Her mom and sister help make the many orders that come her way, and she makes running a business look effortless.

From custom to orders, to seasonal menus, Byanka always has a variety of baked goods for sale. Her treats are sold at various places including coffee shops and markets around town. She let me take some goodies home after our shoot, and I can say with confidence how delicious her baked goods are! It was so much fun getting to spend a morning with her. I saw her talent firsthand, and watching her light up while she told me about her business and dreams was a joy. You wouldn’t believe how her business started–you’ll have to find her and ask her sometime. Making friends through my own business is one of my favorite parts of my job. I’m thankful I got to work with such a wonderful person. Byanka has tenacity, grit, determination, kindness, and a genuine love for what she does. It shows in the way she conducts herself and her business.

Byanka, I hope you love your photos! You have built a fantastic business that you should be insanely proud of. I can’t wait to see where the Lord takes you in the future!
