Kathryn Bricken, a 59-year-old entrepreneur from London, transformed her life by quitting her corporate job and founding Doughlicious, a successful snack brand, at age 50. After moving from the US to the UK in 2008, she recognized a lack of American-style cookies and edible cookie dough in the market. This realization, coupled with her need for a flexible job as a mother of three young children, led her to start making decorative cakes and cookies. In 2017, she launched Doughlicious, initially hand-rolling cookie dough in her home kitchen. Bricken faced numerous challenges, including working 20-hour days and suffering a severe thumb injury that required surgery. However, her relentless dedication paid off as Doughlicious expanded rapidly, now producing over one million cookie dough and gelato bites each week, and is available in major retailers like Tesco, Whole Foods, and Target. In 2019, she was diagnosed with stage-one breast cancer but continued to manage her business through treatment, finding strength in her work. Bricken has been cancer-free for five years and credits her focus on Doughlicious for helping her cope during her illness.
