Brooklyn couple bakes up success in Sunset Park
Christine Burns and Mario Frascarella are hoping to find the recipe to success as they launch their company, New Amsterdam Bakery, from a Sunset Park industrial kitchen.
The pair works in finance on Wall Street during the week. On Saturdays, they bake up “simple and rustic” cakes and cookies out of Hana Kitchens and on Sundays, they sell their delicious treats alternately out of the LIC Flea and the market at Pier Six at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Burns said that the idea was sparked last year, after getting encouraging feedback from co-workers who had sampled their confections.
