3A – Entrepreneurship Story
A time in my life that I had been exposed to entrepreneurship was unexpected and came about while I was a stay at home mom. I wanted to make my daughter’s birthdays memorable for her, so I began making and decorating cakes. Every year I made her a themed cake and would send my husband to work with my practice cakes. When my husband would have a party, I would make a themed cake and they became a staple for the parties. I began receiving cake requests from his co-workers and it was then that I began charging for cakes. The entire experience was new and exciting, but also very stressful because I was still a new baker and would get overwhelmed with delivering (without any mishaps in hot Las Vegas summers) and deciding how much to charge. I eventually stopped making cakes because although I was making money, I did not actually enjoy baking cakes on a large scale, only decorating them.
Honestly, I enrolled in ENT 3003 to satisfy my degree requirements. However, I never go through a class without wanting to learn something new! This semester, I hope to learn to think more creatively and see how things become opportunities. I would also like to learn more about different successful entrepreneurs and their processes to get to where they are today.
I needed to take this class as well to satisfy degree requirements. I found your story very interesting and something cool! I wish I could bake or have good enough artistic ability to decorate a cake. I did a little basic decorating for the Publix bakery but never on your amazing level. I think you’ll be rocking whatever you end up doing! So inspired by your story and look forward to the class!
ReplyDeleteI also took this class to fulfill my degree requirements but I am very interested in learning about entrepreneurship. My sister loves baking and finding new designs for cakes and cookies, but on a smaller scale like you do. The cake photos that you have added are incredible! I completely understand why you may of taken a break from cake making, because it seems like it would get stressful while being a mom and taking classes, but your cakes look amazing and I look forward to learning more about you during this summer session!
