Jazz Bird Bakery
Say hi to Erin!
About Jazz Bird Bakery
I’m Erin Young and I graduated from the French Culinary Institute in 2015 with a certificate in cake design. I have lived in many places including Colorado, New York, and New Orleans, but finally decided to settle near my childhood favorite place, Galveston. I also has a BFA in fine art so I wanted to marry my two passions together.
When did you first get started?
While living in NYC and being in a band, I’d watch many a food network show dreaming of a life where my “day” job was just as fun as playing music at night.
What inspired you to start your business?
After culinary school, I tried to get a few bakery jobs here and there but always felt that I was working so hard for someone else to reap all the reward. Starting your own business is no easy task that’s for sure.
What is your favorite thing to make/produce?
I like making really pretty wedding cakes. I like when clients take a risk.
Where are you from/where did you grow up?
I’m originally from a small town called Monument in Colorado. Went to school at Colorado State. And moved to many new places after that.
Share a fun fact about yourself you'd like your customers to know!
I love theater and sometimes you’ll find me doing a show at ETC in Galveston. I also use to sing a bit of jazz music, and that’s why I’m called Jazz Bird Bakery.
