About Annabelle Shippee

Employee-owner since 2016

Annabelle is an award-winning writer and content creator on the King Arthur Baking Social Media Team.

She received her degree in baking and pastry arts from the New England Culinary Institute in 2015 and joined the King Arthur family the following year. While in her first position on the Baker’s Hotline and later as a Digital Engagement Specialist, Annabelle was thrilled to continue her baking education at the King Arthur Baking School in Norwich, Vermont. In her current position as Social Media Strategist, Annabelle uses her baking knowledge to be the voice of King Arthur on social media. It’s always her goal to bring joy and inspiration to our online community. 

Through each position she’s held at King Arthur, Annabelle has been a contributor to the blog. Sharing guides, tips, and tricks (always with a dash of humor), Annabelle’s latest blog series taps into the vast knowledge of the King Arthur Baker’s Hotline. Addressing the questions customers regularly ask, Ask the Baker’s Hotline features the trusted answers and knowledge of members of “The Hotline.” 

Having grown up with several chronic health conditions that ultimately led to a career change from bakery work to a desk job, Annabelle is an advocate for those baking with disabilities. 

Though she’d never turn down a bear claw, Annabelle’s favorite things to bake herself are the Christmas cookies she grew up baking each year with her mom. 

She spends her time off playing tabletop and video games, watercolor painting or drawing, and snuggling with her cat.
