A mother and daughter bonded in love, faith, and health called upon to nourish each other and their community.
Angela struggled with her relationship with food for many years, until she became a mother. With the birth of her daughter, Kelsey, she was inspired to set an example by eating only real foods that nourish the body.
As a former college athlete, she understood the importance of fitness and healthy food. Hitting the gym with renewed strength and energy, she was encouraged to go into bodybuilding. The pinnacle of her success was winning the Miss Tennessee Bodybuilding competition in 2008, and then being a nationally ranked USA Track & Field sprinter in 2012 and 2013. During this time her highly curated meal plan included the carrot muffin and oat bar recipes she had developed with Kelsey.
Angela and Kelsey continued to experiment with nutritious ingredients to create a portfolio of delicious recipes. In 2015, with the unwavering support of their husband and father, Conrad, they broke the mother-daughter supported speed record for hiking the Appalachian Trail in 106 days.
While hiking the trail, Angela and Kelsey brainstormed the potential for a storefront to share their passion with everyone. Angela’s cakes had already earned their reputation among her friends and family for quite some time, and Kelsey had continuously challenged her to elevate her knowledge and skills as a baker. It was time to evolve. When they came off the trail, they had the business plan that brought Healthy Body Bakery to life.
