Angie Bauer – Angie Bauer Design
I am a mom, wife of 17 years and a creative through and through.
I have 4 kiddos ranging from 23-9, I often laugh and say we knew we were in trouble when we had to stop and buy diapers before going and ordering our oldest class ring. But, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Our two “littles” as we call them we were both welcomed into our family through adoption. One is internationally adopted from the Philippines and the other was a private domestic adoption.
Our adoption story is what pushed me from being scared to running two successful Brick and Mortars in the town I grew up in.
If someone would have told this to me almost 6.5 years ago I would have laughed but God had greater plans then I had ever at the time dreamed of.
I grew up loving art and design and I even received a full ride to college on an Art scholarship. I turn it down (that’s a whole other story) and like most started adulthood thinking I knew everything. I later went back to school and received a degree in Elementary Education and taught Kindergarten and First grade.
Design for me was and still is like breathing. My passion for design started early and I enjoyed using it in my home and for friends. I quickly fell in love with painting furniture too and between both these loves and business was created. Which took me from selling to friends to a booth, to owning two Brick and Mortars.
Today, I am so excited where my entrepreneurial spirit has taken me. I have sold my two Brick and Mortars recently and am changing my path to focus on my Design work and Business Coaching!
Thank you for coming along this crazy, wonderful, full of surprises life and business!

Your Host – April Kolanchick, Sweet & Saucy Life
I’m April Kolanchick. I’m a wife, mom of 4, a sugar cookie artist, and business coach from the Kansas City, Missouri area. My client base is a diverse group of talented sugar artists looking to grow in their cookie decorating skills and build their creative businesses. I made my very first decorated sugar cookie after Miss Scarlett was born in 2014. I was hooked and slowly dabbled at making cookies for friends and family until 2017 whe I decided to officially start my business. One year in, and we received news that Miss Scarlett’s “quirks” and speech delay was actually Autism. This was the single most pivotal moment for our family and my business. In seven months I went from generating 90% of my revenue through physical cookie sales to 100% online through my membership groups and digital courses. Now instead of making cookies for customers I teach other people how to decorate cookies and build profitable businesses.
