Today we’d like to introduce you to Rachel Ahn
Hi Rachel, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was born and raised in Korea, and I moved to the United States after marrying my husband.
I’m a mom of three, I faced a challenge while breastfeeding my second daughter, who had a dairy allergy. As someone who loves desserts like bread, cookies, and pastries, it was difficult not being able to enjoy my favorite treats.
This led me to start baking at home using high-quality, allergy-friendly ingredients.
What began as a personal solution quickly grew into a passion. With encouragement from friends and family, Ahn’s Bakery was born.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, it hasn’t always been a smooth road. As a mother of three, time is always in short supply. While I love baking and feel excited when orders come in, juggling everything can be overwhelming. There are times when I feel rushed to finish orders because there’s so much to manage.
Unfortunately, this has sometimes led to moments where I find myself losing patience with my children, which is never what I want. Balancing my passion for baking with the demands of motherhood has been one of the biggest challenges, but it’s also taught me the importance of time management and self-compassion.
