Ep #65 - Tiphanie Cannon
Best Served Baked is a Q&A show where we celebrate the Unsung Hospitality Heroes. Join Chef Jensen Cummings as he talks to industry leaders about the people that have been there through the trials and triumphs of their lives and careers. On this episode of Best Served Live, our host Jensen Cummings sits down with Tiphanie Cannon who started as a third grade teacher before becoming a a stay at home mom. Being a stay at home mom of three kids made her bored out of her mind and she turned to baking. Eventually she decided to open a business and started baking out of the oven in her house before growing the business into a successful store front.
Top Five Takeaways
1. Tiph was a third grade teacher and stay at home mom who turned bakery owner. She’s owned the Oh So Sweet store front for six years and has worked herself up to being on Food Network.
2. Tiph went from spreading out cookbooks out at Mexican food restaurants with her mom to being on a Food Network challenge. “Then I was contacted by a Food Network agent. But I thought it was a joke. I had to keep it a secret for nine months.” (12:53)
3. “I don’t really think about myself as a good marketer. I would tell people its important to be consistent. I think people are checking their phones first thing in the morning, at lunch, and then before you go to bed. So I try to post three times a day. You just never know when you are going to grab that customer.” (17:47)
4. “I do have a self deprecating humor and I do try to put that across. I do think that people like to see behind the curtain. It makes you more relatable. I think its important to do your own social media for your own business because otherwise people can tell. Its not authentic.” (19:31)
5. “With the floods I saw businesses that were 100% wiped out. Instead of wanting to annihilate each other, its about helping each other. When Roam Restaurant was wiped out, I helped their employees by giving them a job at the bakery.” (22:55)
