Hi, everyone. You are listening to Radio Cherry Bomb, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond.

Coming to you from Las Vegas.

Today's guest is Kimmy McIntosh, the talented baker behind milkfish in Las Vegas.

Last year, Kimmy was named a semifinalist for a James Beard Award for Outstanding

Pastry Chef or Baker. No one was more surprised than Kimmy herself. She could not imagine that

her humble pop-up bakery would be considered for such a prestigious award. But no one who's tried

Kimmy's baked goods was surprised. She's dazzled folks with her

signature cashew cocoa jam sticky buns, pandan Traslete's cake, and karaoke skewers, which are sweet

rice flour and coconut fritters with cocoa jam toffee sauce, caramelized coconut curds, and

X-Rhodes Philippine sea salt. She brought some of the fritters to the

studio and they were delicious. Kimmy joins me in just a minute to talk about the tight-knit

baker community in Las Vegas, how her husband and business partner Josh has encouraged

and supported her over the years, how bakers against racism impacted her life and career,

and what she loves about the city she now

calls home. Kimmy is an amazing example of someone whose life continues to unfold in beautiful ways.

You will be very inspired by her story. Stay tuned for Kimmy McIntosh.

Team Cherrybaum and I will be in Vegas for a special international Women's Day weekend.

We're hosting three separate events. A kickoff party on Friday, March 7th at Velvetine Rabbit,

then a networking breakfast with talks and panels on Saturday, March 8th at the Wynn.

Then we have a wonderful dinner at the brand new Jalina in the Venetian later that night.
