CHULA VISTA — During the pandemic, Evelyn Salazar sprinkled some color into her life. She’s an avid baker and a lover of desserts. Looking for a new challenge, she decided to end her 18-year career in the health industry, and took over this baking supply shop in downtown Chula Vista.“I was scared," Salazar said."I'm still scared with everything, all the changes happening, but I just believe in community. If we all support each other, then we grow together.
“They made an announcement that they were going to sell so that’s when I decided I was going to take over,” Salazar said.“The fact that where was I going to get my supplies? I didn’t want to go online, I wanted to shop local.”
