Pleased to meet you!
My name is Meg, and I am the co-owner of Spilt Milk Pastry in Oak Park, IL.
My sister Molly and I started our bakery in 2014, baking overnight in a shared kitchen space in Chicago, and selling our pastries at local farmers markets and baking for weddings, & events.
We now have a successful retail shop, and absolutely LOVE what we do every day!
I started Bakery Business Academy in 2019 to help other food entrepreneurs do what we did – build a successful food business … even if you don’t have a business background!
I’ve worked with over 3,000 food business owners (mainly bakeries, cafes, coffee shops, and quick-service restaurants) all over the US and Canada since then, to help them build their businesses.
Are you ready to take the plunge?
Here’s how I can help you:
What We Do…
Online E-Courses
We offer self-paced, online e-courses that teach you how to build a strong financial foundation for your business, grow your sales, and effectively market your food business (without spending 80 hours a week at work!)
Free Community Group
My team and I run a free Facebook community group for food entrepreneurs.
This is a great place to network with other bakery owners, ask questions, and get support on your business journey.
Consulting Services
I work one-on-one with established businesses to help streamline their operations, revamp their menu, and work on special projects related to food business finance, kitchen operations, growing a team, and more.
