Welcome to the 9th episode of my legacy project, Urban Lifestyle Report Podcast and I'm your host Carolyn Morris-Walker. I am delighted to have Amanda Hamer, the founder of EdibleBliss11 which is located in the 416 and this extraordinary chef will satisfy your taste buds with her tantalizing culinary fusion dishes and desserts, as my guest on this platform that exemplifies BlackNificence & Black Excellence in our community.

Urban Lifestyle Report is a place and space to showcase the many talents of Black and African people who are often invisible, not acknowledged and not celebrated in popular media for their talents, achievements and accomplishments that contributes positively to the community and the world at large.

Born and raised in downtown Toronto, Amanda has been cooking and baking for over 20+ years. Amanda tributes for culinary skills to her late mother and influences of growing up in a multicultural city.

Amanda is a graduate from George Brown College where she received her degree in culinary arts. Her dishes can be described as a fusion of West Indian, Asian and Canadian flavours and she also uses creativity in creating custom design cakes for all types of occasions.

She has an array of dishes to choose from her Edible Bliss11 menu, plus clients have the option of having their food personalized. Amanda has catered for large organizations such as Shopify, Roger’s and notably for The Honourable Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau.

In 2017, Amanda was recognized by HERstory in BLACK, a grassroots initiative, that brought together 150 Black women to share their personal experience that was produced by “How She Hustles” a diverse women’s social network that was featured by CBC.

Her desserts have also been featured on “Cityline, North America's longest-running daytime show for women in a segment of trending baby showers. Amanda is personable, engaging, wants to make your catered experience a memorable one and she continues to come up with innovative recipes so she can share her LOVE through food.

So, I am delighted when I meet people in my community who are doing amazing and outstanding work in a plethora of areas as educators, creatives, influencers, game changers, entrepreneurs, innovators, artists, founders, investors change makers, who are igniting, building and transforming our community in a variety of ways and in so many arenas.

They are engaging in these activities full-time, part-time, as a side hustle and making their passions and visions come to life. I believe the community needs to hear about YOU!

So, tune-in and enjoy the conversation!
