Learn about our cottage food business and what makes us special.
Mythic Chip Bakery was founded by Elizabeth Colts, a classically trained Pastry Chef who brings nearly a decade of professional kitchen experience to her craft. Her culinary philosophy bridges the strict science of classical pastry with a sharp, executive understanding of the kitchen ecosystem. Elizabeth holds separate degrees in both Culinary Arts and Baking & Pastry, later earning her Bachelor in Management & Supervision to ensure that every operational rule behind her home kitchen mirrors the absolute elite logistics of the fine dining world.
Before mastering the intricate subtleties of sugar and chocolate, Chef Elizabeth forged her technical foundation on the high-intensity savory side of the industry. Her culinary career began working the relentless pace of the line in a casino kitchen, a trial by fire that quickly led her to premier fine dining establishments and fast-paced steakhouses where flavor balance and station discipline are everything. From there, she transitioned into the grand scale of luxury hotel banquets, orchestrating complex, multi-course presentations. It was during a transformative baking and pastry class within her original culinary degree program that her true passion came alive. Captivated by the precise, scientific alchemy of pastry, she returned to school to specialize, subsequently stepping into the meticulous world of high-end confections as a boutique chocolatier, and ultimately reaching her peak industry tenure executing delicate, complex sweets as the Pastry Sous Chef for an upscale, traditional French pastry boutique.
Every legendary tale features a shift in the journey, and Elizabeth’s path took a deeply intentional turn following a major shoulder surgery. This physical turning point became the perfect catalyst to transition away from the brutal, grinding hours of industrial kitchens and channel her elite expertise into a lifestyle that matches her devotion as a Marine Veteran wife and a mother. Opening a small-batch cottage kitchen right here in Land O’ Lakes, Florida, allowed her to preserve her rigorous commercial standards while anchoring her craft at home. Today, every creation is shaped not just with a master's level of technical precision, but with the genuine love of a mother creating a shared, legendary experience for her community.
