Description

In this episode, Rose and Crystal talk with Amanda Faber author of cult beloved Cake Portfolio, about taking the road less traveled — publishing a cookbook completely on her own. From skipping agents and traditional houses to handling editing, printing, and promotion herself, Amanda shares what she learned (and what she’d never do again). It’s a conversation about creative control, community, and what happens when you decide to bet on your own voice instead of waiting for permission.
