In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns sits down with Kaylin Fowler, the co-owner of Kaylin’s Bakeshoppe, a local gourmet cookie business that started as a happy accident. Kaylin shares her “reboot” story—from being a full-time teacher to launching a successful home-based bakery while nine months pregnant with her first child.
What began as a simple request for a baby shower cake has blossomed into a thriving business known for its massive, half-pound gourmet cookies. Kaylin discusses the “science” behind their perfection, revealing that she and her husband (a fellow teacher and co-owner) tested over 40 different versions of their signature chocolate chip cookie to get the base just right.
Whether you’re a fan of local entrepreneurs or just have a major sweet tooth, this episode is a delicious look at one of Lakeland’s rising culinary stars. 74
