Sheila G. Mains, a natural born baker, was laid off from her CFO position at an industrial advertising agency. Finding herself at a crossroads, she took stock of her strengths. Her training was in finance. Her passion, though, was baking. She baked dozens of brownies in her oven at home and delivered them to local stores and cafes.
Sheila’s Signature Brownies have been featured at Disney’s theme parks, bakeries and catered events. Her Cookie Dough Brownie was the best-selling dessert three years straight at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (formerly Disney MGM Studios). Like many brownie aficionados, Sheila was particularly fond of the crispy edges. Brownie BrittleTM went from 200,000 bags on store shelves in 2011 to 40 million bags on store shelves today.
