LSUÂ alumna Alexis Ryder followed her passion for baking to New York City after graduating with a communications degree and is not looking back.
Ryder found a passion for baking in her junior year of college when she got a job at the local bakery Counterspace. Even though she had no experience, she worked her way to lead baker and learned along the way.
She brought Louisiana culture to New York by baking and selling king cakes out of her apartment to raise money after Hurricane Laura hit her hometown. She raised $800 to help with relief for friends and family who lost their homes.
