    Julie McAllister: Niching Down, Trusting Your Gut, and Building a Business Without a Playbook

    When she started her business, Julie McAllister was busy making sugar cookies for events around town — but what really lit her up were hyper-realistic, sculptural cakes. When she made the risky decision to niche down and fully own her creative lane, everything changed. That clarity led to Netflix’s Is It Cake?, the Food Network, and clients like Reese Witherspoon.
