EAST PEORIA When Lisa Friebohle needed stress relief from her work as a nurse practitioner, she went home and baked.
She was in the process of starting a second career as a baker, filling orders from her home for such occasions as birthday parties and weddings. After she had catered two weddings, she found her business growing beyond her expectations.
“After the second wedding, my name started getting out there, and I ended up baking a lot at home,” Friebohle said. “People would message me on Facebook with orders, and even some of my patients knew about it and they would order. Then my husband, Drew, said, ‘Maybe you should open a storefront. I know you’ve always wanted to do that.’”
