Our shop is a magical result of new beginnings and major life changes. In 2011, I experienced two major life changes. I experienced a job loss after working for years in the financial district on Wall Street. I was also pregnant with my second child and in a really bad marriage. One day, I left the marriage, packed up my house and kids, relocated and started completely over, pregnant with a toddler in tow. Yes, that bad, y'all.

You never know your own strength until you are forced to be strong. While my ex husband checked out financially, I had to quickly think of ways to make money and also have work/life balance as a new mom of two. With a newborn and one year old in tow, I did not know what work would like like with my new normal. I wanted to do something that I loved and was passionate about. Baking had always been a love of mine. It had also been an escape. I would take classes at a local craft store to escape the craziness happening within the marriage. I've been baking and experimenting with recipes since I was 9 years old. My inspiration came from my Great Grandma Lucille, who was the finest Southern baker around, Paula Deen, Cake Boss, Pattie Labelle, Carol Price of Carol’s Daughter, and Oprah. All had persevered in the midst of adversity, were resilient and strong. I knew that with my new normal, I needed to persevere and be strong because my babies needed me. I knew that my recipes were untouchable and everyone raved about them. So, I stepped out on faith and made a batch of brownies.
I received my first sale and Lil Miss Cupcake Lady was born. Since then, It's grown to more than just cupcakes. If you can envision it, I will create it and even ship it nationwide.

I share my story to say, whatever you are experiencing, it is only temporary. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Keep going. Whatever idea God has birthed inside of you, nurture it, treat it like your baby, feed it each day and watch it grow. Write down the vision and watch it manifest ❤️ Habakkuk 2:2 Jeremiah 29:11
