Angela Awunor of Glenn Dale, MD sells high-end custom-decorated cakes with her cottage food business, Angyono Cakes.

Most people start their food business from home and eventually move into a commercial kitchen as they grow, but Angela did the exact opposite.

When she started her business back in 2016, she chose to rent a commercial kitchen because Maryland’s cottage food laws weren’t very good back then.

However, when their laws improved, she decided to move her business into her home in 2019. And her business has gotten increasingly popular each year, and now she has over 84k followers on Instagram!

And yet, this is still just a side business for Angela. She also has a full-time job as a nurse anesthesiologist, and she has 3 kids as well.

How does she make time for it all? And how has she become so successful in two all-consuming careers? That’s what you’re about to learn in this episode.
