MEET NIKKI

Hi, I’m Nikki Thompson Frazier, author of A Life Worth Tasting, host of the YouTube show Sweet Life with Nikki, and a public speaker. I founded Sweet Encounter to create exceptionally delicious gluten-free, peanut- and tree-nut-free desserts that everyone can enjoy. What began in my kitchen for my daughters has grown into Cupcakes in a Jar shipped nationwide and experiences that bring people together. In our allergy-conscious, inclusive kitchen, we hire people of all abilities and lead with purpose: people first, excellence always, and community at the center. If you’re building a life worth tasting, I’m here to cheer you on: one jar, one story, one sweet encounter at a time.
