In today's episode of The Beauty Standard, Nicole chats with Alex, of Bon Bon Bon. Alexandra Clark’s culinary education began at a young age and was encouraged by her grandfather, who was known to eat two king-sized candy bars for lunch. Her wonder and enthusiasm as a youngster carried over into her formal education when she attended Michigan State University, studying Hospitality Business & Food Processing Technology. After receiving her chocolate certificate from The French Pastry School of Chicago, she left the country on a full-ride scholarship to New Zealand’s prestigious Massey University. After traveling and studying around the world, Alex moved home to open Bon Bon Bon in 2013. Challenging the industry’s status quo, Alex and her team, known as The Babes Babes Babes, garnered national acclaim, including a nod by Forbes Magazine as one of ‘30 under 30” and one of the best chocolate companies by Washington Post, Vanity Fair, and Bloomberg. Alex loves agriculture, design, hiking, and visiting Lake Michigan with her rescue dog, Lou. listen now!
