#3: In this episode, I am in the "hot seat". My husband, Jordan Carpenter, interviews me and we share a bit more on how it how it all got started and why I created my blog in the first place. Contrary to what many think, I didn't have the confidence to pursue my blog full-time and leave my desk job. On December 3, 2015, I was fired unexpectedly from my job at a CPG brand as their Earned Media Manager. This led me to pursue my own brand full-time and embark on this crazy journey running my food blog and Instagram full-time. I chat about my brand partnerships and how those came about, answer a handful of your questions about the behind-the-scenes over here and I open up about the in's and out's of running my business solo.

We get to hear more of the backstory behind her famous bite-sized cupcakes, getting fired from her job, creating her dessert empire, working with family members, transitioning into motherhood, living in Hoboken and so much more. Melissa has one of the most zen and laid back perspectives on life and it was truly refreshing sitting down to chat with her.
