Ep 184 - Delivering Saturday dessert delight boxes with Holy Sugar founder Audrey Allard

Audrey Allard grew up in Northern NSW but knew she had to leave her comfort zone and head to the big smoke to sharpen up her culinary skills and make a name for herself.

In 2017 as a third-year apprentice studying her certificate 5 in Patisserie, she made a split decision to pack her car and head to Melbourne. This ranks this as one of the best decisions of her life, with the fact she ended up working in some pretty amazing restaurants such as @ptleoestate to @lunecroissant

Like many others in Melbourne 2020, she had her shifts cut short and was in desperate need to keep her mind busy, so she started baking sweets for her housemates.

She truly lives and breathes desserts, so she thought why not just start her own business? @holysugar__ was created within a week, with boxes heading out to friends from her Instagram page. It didn't take long for the word to spread and a cult following to form.

Holy Sugar is a one-woman show. From recipe testing to prep, socials, packing and deliveries. She was fortunate enough to snag a space from our great friends at Worksmith, a collaborative hospitality working space with a commercial kitchen located at the back- this is where the magic happens on a weekly basis!

In this podcast, we discuss how she built the brand after making the split-second decision to do so, how the business has evolved coming in and out of the Melbourne lockdowns since early 2020, and what she wants to do with the business next, including if she plans to open a brick and mortar store. This podcast will make you want to chase your dreams too!
