Tricia Brown has been a baker for about 14 years at MSU Bakers, 171 Service Road. Although Brown had very little background in culinary arts when she began at the bakery, she said she slowly worked her way up from washing dishes and learned the trade along the way.
“I’m the youngest baker in here, I started while I was still at LCC,” Brown said with a chuckle. “I started out washing dishes, and I’ve come a long way.”
Although she never imagined becoming a baker, Brown said she enjoys her job and how it allows her to try different things and interact with the students who also work at the bakery.
“(Baking) is more precise than cooking because once you get it into the oven it’s a wrap,” she said. “There’s no going back to fix it, so you really have to learn different things here.”
