Colin Hammond grew up as the youngest child of nine kids. Throughout his childhood, he would bake with his mom and older sisters. His love for baking grew exponentially, and by age twelve he had won over thirty ribbons and trophies from baking competitions across Maryland–specifically including the county and state fair. Once he reached high school, he began taking orders and running his own baking business. He ranged from one to six big orders each week, and he specializes in cakes and cupcakes. He most frequently caters for weddings and birthdays. The farthest place he has catered to is northern Virginia, which is roughly three and a half hours from where he lives. He is currently taking business classes at a community college to help him better run and expand his business. The quality of his cakes makes his high prices worth it, as he balances the cost of materials and time with making a profit. With his constant demand of baked goods, his business is thriving… so much so, that he is currently considering hiring an assistant baker. As of now, Colin is still growing his business, but he plans on someday opening up his own bake shop, and eventually turning it into a small chain.

This is so cool that Collin used his passion of baking and turned it into a business. I can definitely see him opening up a bakery or even multiple in different locations. There aren’t too many people who can bake and create a business out of it and it’s also nice for communities to have a local bakery and most are willing to support.
