What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am a self-taught baker!!! I love learning and I am always up for a new challenge!!! I have a wide range of customers a crossed the state!!! I offer statewide delivery and shipping for out-of-state orders!!!

Tell us about yourself

I started this as an outlet for my mental health...baking calms me and genuinely puts me in a better mood all the time!!! I love making new things and things people haven't seen yet!!! I wake up every day to fill all and any orders knowing I'm leaving something to my children someday!!! Hoping they will never know the struggles I have and give them a little peace of mind after I'm gone.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is starting this business while overcoming many mental health struggles!!! It keeps me going and getting up every day even on the darkest of days!!!

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

The hardest part of being a business owner for me is realizing my limits as a single human and not biting off more than I can chew!!!

  1. Put your all into your business...It is your most important asset!
  2. Don't let a slow spell get you down...Use it to make something new and creative!
