Minneapolis baker's "The Bachelorette" cake turns fans into followers

Minneapolis home baker Altreisha Foster's Instagrammable cakes got a big boost from "The Bachelorette" during the show's recent swing through the Twin Cities.

Driving the news: Sugarspoon Desserts, a Black-owned business near the hometown of this season's star Michelle Young, recently caught the attention of the dating show's producers.

• They recruited Foster to create a cake to celebrate the show's 200th episode last week, and a number of local artists pitched in.

What they did: Foster and fellow Jamaican artist Tashane Bailey designed a seven-tiered cake with a cut-out featuring a single illuminated rose to commemorate the milestone.

• Minneapolis florist Adam Gladue covered the cake with 200 additional red roses.

What she's saying: "My profile definitely expanded in terms of who is reaching out, and I got a whole new set of followers really interested in my work," Foster told Axios.

What's next: Foster's hopes to transition into wedding cakes. No word yet on if she'll bake Young's someday.
