The first item she baked successfully was a recipe her friend gave her. As she began, it turned out to be good, and she ate them with some fruits and syrup.

That was the beginning, and she started making various baked goods. Only some things she made were good, though when she made chocolate mousse for the first time, it was inedible, and the second batch she made was good.

The first job that she had in the food industry was at Ben & Jerry's, which is in Burlington, Vermont, where she used to make ice cream cakes. 
The job taught her how to hold a pastry bag as well as create decorations.

She started Zoe's Cookies, a cookie company in college, as an assignment in the business plan. She had to write the program, took it to the bank, got a loan, and start her own cookie company.
