I had been making cheesecakes for our friends and family for years, just for fun. In Fall of 2022 I got the idea to sell cheesecakes to friends to help pay our increasing animal care costs. There was a LOT of interest, but when we found out it was against cottage food safety regulations to sell cheesecake out of your home, I thought that was the end of it.

Except that it wasn't! Not only did I still have friends wanting cheesecakes, I also had strangers messaging and requesting cheesecakes. A LOT. It seemed that there was a definite need in Barton County Kansas for good cheesecake! I started looking for a commercial kitchen. I was able to start our baking operation in the fabulous Historic Wolf Hotel Kitchen in February of 2023,

In October of 2025, I was so grateful to win 1st place in the Great Bend Economic Development Center's IGNITE Competition, winning $50,000 towards growing the business.

In January of 2026 Freaking Delicious Cheesecake officially relocated to the commercial kitchen inside Fuller Industries in Great Bend. The new location offers a huge increase in space and opportunities for our small business! I now am building my team and growing the reach of Freaking Delicious Cheesecake.

Thanks for being with us on this ride!
