HISTORY 

Two Sticks Bakery is a women owned business, which began July 2018 when Kassie Jensen and Amanda Armstrong met at the Feast Market and Cellar., where they worked for eight years. Kassie had a certificate from the Art Institute of Indianapolis. She had started her food career at Bloomington Bagel Company baking career and her baking career as a pastry chef at Feast Bakery Cafe. Amanda had experience with at home baking. 

They first acknowledged their passion of baking and making pastries, and so they started the business together. They started selling their own baked goods at the Smithville Farmers Market under the name “Two Sticks”. After the 3rd year of selling pastries together at the Smithvilles Farmers Market they opened their first in-building bakery. 

The roles that they do in the shop is Kassie specializes in working on the sweets, while Amanda takes on the sweet and savory items, and Amanda is more in the store role, while Kassie does wedding cakes and catering events.  The name “Two Sticks” came from the two sticks of butter which is their main ingredient in their pastries!.
