Can you believe it's been 10 years? It seems like just yesterday I was balancing two little ones on my hips, dipping pretzels and Oreos in chocolate in my home kitchen. Back then, nap times were my most productive work hours, and the soundtrack of my days was a delightful mix of giggles and the clinking of spoons against bowls.
Those early days were filled with a crazy kind of magic. I was driven by a passion for creating sweet treats and a determination to build something special. Local church fairs and preschool events became my first marketplaces, and the smiles on people's faces as they tasted my creations fueled my fire.
Then came the turning point. A dear friend approached me with a unique request: personalized chocolate Oreos with her monogram for her wedding favors. Her overwhelming joy upon seeing them solidified what I already knew deep down – I had something truly special.
That single spark ignited a firestorm. I opened an Etsy shop, and my heart skipped a beat with every order that came in. My very first order? Chocolate Oreos adorned with whimsical Candyland images – a delightful reminder of the playful spirit I bring to my creations.
As the business grew, I outgrew my kitchen counter. Renting space in a bakery by the hour was a stepping stone, but the dream of a dedicated space never left me. For two years, I saved diligently, and for nine long months, I scoured every corner until I found the perfect spot. The five months of construction were a whirlwind, but the moment I stepped into my very own commercial kitchen, I knew every second of sweat and sacrifice had been worth it.
Looking back on this incredible journey, my heart overflows with gratitude. From those early, chaotic days to our beautiful, dedicated space, we've grown so much, and along the way, we've had the privilege of serving countless wonderful customers. Thank you for being a part of our story!
Here's to the next 10 years of baking, decorating, and creating sweet memories, one delicious treat at a time. We can't wait to see what the future holds, and we're so grateful to have you along for the ride!
