I know it’s tough to find a Sweets Community that UNDERSTANDS your passion and problems and helps you grow in it. But this is why the Berry Patch Academy was created…
#1 community created for treat makers and bakers to network, grow, and learn new techniques every month!

Academy Testimonials



About Ashley Danielle

Owner of the Berry Patch Academy…

Known as the Master of Chocolate, Ashley is the owner of the Berry Patch Brand!

She began her sweets business 7 years ago, after being fired from a well-known Chicago Hospital due to my son having multiple seizures. Yep, those FMLA days were not in her favor. 


In the midst of losing her job, she stumbled across my purpose. Treat Making is her passion! She’s the mompreneur who loves everything sweets-related and is determined to give the Sweets Community the guidance plus empowerment that she couldn’t find when she was building her business.

The Berry Patch Academy continues to grow to new heights and we want you a part of the journey! Here you will have no choice but to grow in business, community, and skill (so get ready for me to push you to excellence)!


You didn’t find the Academy by accident! 
Be prepared for Ashley to educate, entertain, and equip you with tools for success in business with Chicago Love.

Do you mean to tell me you’re not even a littttttle, eensy, weensy bit curious about what it’s like to be a part of The Berry Patch Academy? 
Well, it feels like the first time you got an order for 5 dozen treats and they allowed you to have creative control! 
But let me tell you this… 
The Berry Patch Academy is 100% risk-free, so even if you check it out and decide that a sweets community with monthly live and guest experts, and over 60 tutorials aren’t the place for you — just cancel. 
No commitment is needed! Come take a peek inside this month!
