981. Today She Is Living Her Life-Long Passion for Baking

“When my oldest was heading off to college, I thought, well now maybe my time is here to do that business or that creative thing that I’ve always wanted to do but never allowed myself to do. So that is when we started looking into the food business for Grey Ghost Bakery.”

Katherine Frankstone never got that Easy-Bake Oven she wanted when she was 6. Instead, her father taught her to bake in the real thing—and she got a life-long passion instead. After working as a banker, becoming a mother to three sons, cofounding EdVenture Children’s Museum in Columbia, South Carolina, and going back to law school at 40, she decided to turn her passion into a business, and Grey Ghost Bakery was born. Grey Ghost Bakery produces made-from-scratch cookies in ten delicious flavors using Southern family recipes and are found in over 300 stores in 32 states.
