So I did a thing and came out of retirement to make my favorite niece Tanisha Q. Monteiro-Mercer and her soon to be hubby Allen Hutchinson’s bridal shower cake! 🎂🥰

It felt really good to get back behind my kitchen aid mixer and stove, but it felt even better to put all of my love into creating something beautiful for her and her bae’s special day! 🎉🎊

I can’t wait to see you two on your wedding day!! Love you both!! 😘❤️🥳

Great Evening Everyone!

Sooooooo…I close my bakery and my wedding cake that I recently made in September was chosen for a cake contest! 😮 My life is never boring y’all! lol!!

I’m so honored that someone nominated my cake for this contest! Please click on the link below and go to page 2 to vote for my cake! You can vote again every hour if you want to! ☺️ This is pretty exciting! Thank you everyone!! ❤️

Cake decorating is one of the sugar arts that uses icing or frosting and other edible decorative elements to make plain cakes more visually interesting.

Life is a Journey!!! I have a plaque in my bedroom to remind me every single day!

Today I dropped off this beautiful wedding cake for 2 young people starting their new journey together, and it’s fitting that as they start their journey, I end one of mine.

I’m closing one door and completely opening another door that has been open, but has been shared with the one I’m closing. It’s a sad day, but I know in my heart that I’m doing the right thing for me and my team to complete the journey that we are on now.

Once again, I stepped out on my belief that I can accomplish anything that I put my mind to, and made a cake with fresh flowers! In 6 years, I didn’t have an order for one. So, closing Sweet As Molasses Bakery with a cake I’ve never made before is perfect timing! ☺️

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Wright!!! Blessings for a lifetime of love, happiness and prosperity!!! 🎉🎊🍾❤️

Great Afternoon Everyone!

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted on my page, but a lot has been going on in my life…a lot of GREAT things have been going on in my life! ☺️

Two years ago I started a second part-time business, and that business has been steadily growing and is doing extremely well. It is a business that I’m very passionate about and whenever you’re passionate about something, there is nothing that will stop you from being successful.

This Sunday, September 5, 2021, I will be closing my online bakery. It’s a very surreal feeling, because I put my heart and soul into this bakery and I’ve made a lot of men, women and children smile throughout these 6 yrs.

I’m still passionate about baking, but God has set me on a path that allows me to be able to help hundreds and hundreds of people bring extra income into their homes by owning their own travel business, just like I do. I have helped over 120 families so far! They can book travel for other people, save on their own travels with their family, and they are able to invest in themselves to create a lifestyle that I never thought I would be able to have for myself and my own family, all while working from home on a part-time basis.

If you’re interested in owning your own travel business and becoming your own boss making those travel commissions and becoming a part of an $8 trillion industry, please inbox me for more information! I would love to help you get started. 

I want to thank all of you for your support of my bakery over the last 6 years! If it weren’t for your confidence in me to create the type of cakes, cookies and cupcakes that you wanted for your special occasions, my bakery would not have been as successful as it is today. For those that I never got the chance to bake for, thank you for following my page and for all of your kind comments on my pics! I appreciate you too!

Please stay connected to me by joining my travel group on FB: Tahari International Travel Group and if your looking to book travel now or in the future, please inbox me! I would love to earn your business!

Wishing you all a safe and healthy life! Thanks again! ❤️

Good Afternoon Everyone!!

Due to some personal goals that I need to complete, I will be taking a baking hiatus for about 3 months. I will reopen the first week of June. If you have a future order (one for after June 6th), that you would like me to add to my calendar, please inbox me. Thank you all for supporting my business! Continue to stay safe and blessed! ❤️🙏🏾
