Amber Hunt
My name is Amber Hunt, and I am the owner and founder of Biites Bakery, a micro-bakery based in Indiana. Baking has always been my creative outlet and a way for me to bring comfort, joy, and connection to the people around me. After years of perfecting my recipes and sharing my treats with family, coworkers, and my community, I decided to turn my passion into a purpose-driven business.
Biites Bakery was created with a mission: to serve high-quality, handcrafted cookies made with care—and to use my business as a way to give back. Every order supports my “Cookies for a Cause” initiative, to open my very own bakery.
As a mother, a hardworking healthcare professional, and a self-made entrepreneur, I bring dedication, integrity, and heart to everything I do. I specialize in small-batch, gourmet cookies made with premium ingredients, and I take pride in offering consistent quality, fresh flavors, and a memorable customer experience.
Through Biites, I hope to inspire others, build community connections, and continue growing a brand rooted in kindness, creativity, and purpose.
