Meet The Chef Series: Nikki Thompson Frazier, Founder & CEO of Sweet Encounter Bakery Cafe

Chefs in Michigan talk on their philosophies, methods and the passion behind their culinary talents. Each month Michigan Premier Events features some of Michigan's best chefs about their food, philosophy, inspiration and plans for the future. Our featured chef this month is Nikki Thompson Frazier, CEO / Founder of Sweet Encounter Bakery Cafe.

Nikki Thompson Frazier, is a proud mompreneur and the founder of Sweet Encounter. In 2015, Nikki launched Sweet

Encounter as an online and wholesale bakery specializing in top-notch gluten-free desserts. The inspiration behind starting this sweet venture stemmed from her deep-rooted motivation - her daughter's food allergies.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, Nikki decided to pivot and offer virtual and in-person cooking classes for individuals of all ages.

This move allowed her to connect with a broader audience and share her passion for gluten-free cooking with others.
