Erin Bolger “The Happy Baker” interview (with video)

(Cross posted as an examiner.com article.)

In the season 5 episode 6 of Dragons’ Den the happy, humours, and driven Erin Bolger pitched her book “The Happy Baker – A Dater’s Guide To Emotional Baking” and made a $50,000 deal on TV with Calgary-based Dragon/investor Arlene Dickinson.

The following are some highlights of what Erin and I talked about in the video interview,

– What lead Erin to write and self-publish the book? I asked if she has got any help in writing the funny bits in the book? For example, did she have a comedian friend to help her write?

– An update on Erin’s deal. On TV Erin & Arlene agreed to: $5,000 cash, $20,000 in travel miles, and $25,000 in PR services, in exchange for 30% of the proceeds from the book sales.

– How did Erin come up with the 300,000 copies sales target? Thats one out of every 100 Canadians! How far along has Erin reached the target so far?

– We also talked about some of the recipes in the book. Here are links to the recipes for “My Mom’s Cupcake” and “ME + YOU – YOU = ICE CREAM COOKIE SUNDAE“. Both look very yummy.

– We also talked about Erin’s Paris cookbook festival experiences. And her experience in visiting the world famous Pierre Herme shop in Paris.

The Happy Baker: A Dater’s Guide To Emotional Baking (Season 5 episode 6)

Erin Bolger’s, author of “The Happy Baker: A Dater’s Guide To Emotional Baking“, pitched on CBC Dragons’ Den last night and it was a ton of fun to watch her pitch. Now, the no cash deal is a sure win for Arelene, what I am much less sure is how does Erin think now. I am trying to interview Erin to find out if the deal is closed and how are things with her book.

At press time, the book’s success or failure is riding a lot on Erin’s shoulder. But I like Erin and hope she does well. Stay tune and I will post an interview if I get a chance to chat with her.

Here is the lovely Erin showing you how to bake!
