Rising Up: Belinda and Carol

Today's story comes from Belinda and Carol Bigold, from Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Lots of families bond over baking, but very few take that fondness to the next level. If you ask Belinda and Carol, they'd say it was a no-brainer. Carol's fearless nature and impeccable baking talents paired splendidly with her daughter's business acumen and tenacity, resulting in the now-iconic High Tea Bakery.

By using simple, locally-sourced ingredients in classic recipes handed down through generations and by providing warm, personal customer service, High Tea Bakery has become a premiere business in Winnipeg. The mother/daughter duo has served for countless weddings, birthdays, and celebrations in the Winnipeg area and beyond, serving a wide-reaching clientele (including the late Queen Elizabeth II).

This is a story about trusting your own talents, as well as the talents of those around you.
