Our Story

It all began the way so many good things do, with a love for baking and the belief that a few things done exceptionally well can be more memorable than an endless menu.

Meet Ann

Ann Schaefer-Reid, founder & owner of The Frosted Sheep, has spent years refining her recipes the old-fashioned way: by baking, sharing, listening, and baking again. Countless batches were tested in her home kitchen, brought into her office, and shared at her husband Andy’s car events, where friends and colleagues offered honest feedback that helped shape each final recipe.

Her philosophy is simple. Flavor should be present in every bite. A lemon cupcake should truly taste like lemon. A chocolate cookie should be deeply, unmistakably chocolate. Every component matters, from the base to the frosting to the finishing detail.

Over the years, Ann has visited bakeries across the country, studying and tasting what makes a dessert truly memorable. That curiosity and commitment to flavor have shaped The Frosted Sheep.

Award-Winning Baker

Ann's love of baking outgrew her own kitchen. She earned first place at the Bristol Community College baking competition for both her chocolate cupcakes and cactus garden cupcake design.

In 2023, she competed in the Silos Baking Competition, hosted at the Silos at Magnolia in Waco, Texas, founded by Chip and Joanna Gaines. Yes, that Magnolia. Ann was selected after submitting an entry video she created with her husband, Andy, sharing both her recipe and the story behind it.

For the competition, she presented her “Sunday Breakfast Cookie,” a blueberry cookie topped with maple glaze and candied bacon, inspired by Andy’s love of Sunday mornings. The experience challenged her creativity, strengthened her confidence, and reinforced her belief that desserts should be full of flavor, bold, and thoughtful.

A Bake Shop Built Around Flavor

At The Frosted Sheep, the goal is simple. Make treats that feel familiar, then make them unforgettable. Every recipe is developed with flavor in mind, using premium ingredients and thoughtful combinations that create a dessert experience worth coming back for.

Rather than offering dozens of options, Ann is intentionally building a focused menu. You can expect classic favorites, seasonal flavors, and rotating specials throughout the year.

Why The Frosted Sheep?

The sheep is more than a logo. It is a personal detail that reflects Ann’s love of collecting sheep and the early days of baking at home. It is a small symbol of what this bake shop is all about: warmth, personality, and a little bit of whimsy, paired with a commitment to quality.

We Can’t Wait to Welcome You

We’re working behind the scenes to bring The Frosted Sheep to life and look forward to opening our doors in Spring 2026. Thank you for being here at the beginning.
