In high school, when most of us were craving a sweet treat such as a home-baked cupcake or a slice of chocolate cake, we had to hope that our mother or grandmother was in a baking mood. And if that didn’t work out in our favor, we had to hope there was a bakery within walking, biking or driving distance so we could satisfy that sweet tooth. In this week’s Reliabank Business Beat, KELOLAND Living Ashley Thompson sat down with an enterprising woman who turned that sweet tooth into a pretty sweet business that’s the icing on the cake to her dream of one day owning a bakery of her own.
