Before she became the CEO and founder of Dr. Shica’s Bakery, she built a distinguished career as a college professor.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, she was laid off from her corporate job in education services and she knew that was her cue. Dr. Shica leaned into her long time passion for baking and turned her hobby into a full-time job.

From the time Dr. Shica got her first Easy-Bake Oven, she knew that she loved to bake. Growing up in South Carolina, she baked with her grandma and learned that the best desserts come from using the best ingredients. When Dr. Shica founded her bakery, she committed to using only high-quality ingredients to create her gourmet desserts. Due to the growing demand for plant-based treats as well as traditional desserts, she knew she needed to expand her baked goods to include mouth-watering delicious options for everyone to enjoy.

Gathering praise from renowned chefs, producers, and on-air personalities, Dr. Shica and her baked goods have been featured several times on QVC Network, KTLA, ABC, Good Morning America and other media outlets. Dr. Shica’s baked goods are available for nationwide shipping at drshicasbakery.com, Walmart.com, and in-store at T.J. Maxx, Homegoods and Marshalls throughout the US and Canada and other independent retailers.
