By trade I am a Master Level Healthcare Administrator. I worked my way up to becoming a Chief Operating Officer of a Behavioral Health Clinic. I was very happy with the achievements in my position. However, as I began to grow my family I quickly realized that I wanted to become a Stay at Home Mom. After a heart to heart with my husband, I did just that. I resigned from my COO position and fulfille
d my dream of being at home with my children. This gave the flexibility needed to be the Mom and Wife I wanted to be. Now that I have settled in to my “Stay at Home” status, I want to fulfill my other dream- Baking cakes and granola. All along I have been doing this as a “hobby” and it has taken on quite well with minimal efforts. So now is the time to make this my new career and realize the dream that has lingered since childhood. It is a passion that I would like to turn into a stream of income for my family. The excitement of becoming self-employed, create the flexibility needed to be a stay at home Mom and obtain financial gain for something that I am passionate about is a true reward.

Our signature products include cheesecakes, sweet potato cakes, banana cakes, pound cakes and granola. Many of our items can be customized and are all made to order. If awarded the money my plans are to pay for all of the start up fees for the State of Maryland and the County of Prince Georges. I would also secure the appropriate insurance and additional supplies needed to prepare our baked goods. I would like to add that if awarded the grant, it would be the support needed to develop a successful business.
