Today’s votes are doubled and it’s the last day to vote me into the next round!!

Please help me see my dream of an accessible teaching kitchen through to fruition! I’ll be working with the small business development center to boost my business plan in the fall, and hopefully begin seeking investors in the next two to four years. Until then, please vote to get me closer to this awesome opportunity! Thanks so much!!

I made it into the next round! To recap, I have the opportunity to win $25,000 to put towards my dream: a small bakery.

I’d like to open a bakery in Atlanta geared towards providing opportunities to differently abled people, while teaching applicable life skills. A kind, warm place that eschews the traditional intensity of a kitchen and welcomes anyone who wants to learn. I will accomplish this by working closely with local schools and specialized programs to curate a method anyone can learn, with practice. I envision a place where the community can gather to spread good, share unique food, and create new ways of doing things, together. Bless Your Tart has been a dream of mine for many years and I want to make it a reality in time.

Thank you all for your support so far; I really don’t expect to win but the more exposure, the better! Thanks for sharing, voting, and supporting! I look forward to making lovely cakes and pies for all of you one day! 💕 🥧 🧁

I’m taking limited holiday orders this year; primarily cakes and cupcakes! I’ll be in Macon for dropoffs on Tuesday the 13th, Saturday the 17th, and Christmas Eve, plus one date closer to new years for NYE orders. Atlanta, pickup in Reynoldstown!
