Creating Quality Confections with Heidi

Bite Me The Show About Edibles

I had the pleasure to chat with Heidi, Senior Business Development Manager at LorAnn Oils, a maker of flavouring, essential oils and specialty ingredients for bakers and candy makers. Heidi's expertise, both personal and professional, on baking and making candy, is evident. If you enjoy infusing candy, gummies or baked goods, you'll want to listen to this episode!
