Kathleen King, Tate’s Bake Shop
Kathleen King began baking when she was eleven years old, selling small batches of her crisp, buttery chocolate chip cookies at North Sea Farm. In 1980, Kathleen opened her first bake shop where she developed a full line of traditional baked goods. Today Kathleen sells over 1 million cookies a week in gourmet retail stores across the country and through her thriving ecommerce site, www.tatesbakeshop.com. Kathleen has published four cookbooks, most recently, Baking For Friends.
