Hello Everyone! Sweet Stuff has been closed now for almost 4 years. I opened Sweet Stuff as my own, January 2nd of 2020. COVID hit and put me through one of the hardest experiences of my life, trying to keep my bakery open during a world wide pandemic. Ultimately I couldn’t afford to keep it open. During COVID I took out 2 EIDL COVID loans offered to small business to keep me open. But that wasn’t enough for the costs of a brick and mortar. I tried to find a home that I could move the business into, but as a renter it wasn’t something that was allowed. I closed the Bakery doors and went into almost $35k in debt. Including the owner carry loan I took out to purchase the assets of the business. That debt is catching up with me, and I am currently paying out over $1k a month of my monthly income, to go towards becoming debt free. which is making it incredibly hard for me, as a single mother of 4 trying to survive in this economy. I am currently in an online baking competition. With a grand prize of $20k for 1st place. There is a month left in the competition the Winner is announced in the first week of January. My friends and family have been doing an amazing job voting for me every day. Everyone is allowed 1 fee vote a day, there is also an option to donate votes for a charity. I am only asking for FREE VOTES! I need free votes daily from everyone who knows who I am and love my sweets!! And I figure who better than all of my amazing sweet stuff followers and customers who enjoyed my sweets so much in the short time I was open. I will be sharing daily, to remind everyone to enter their free votes. Please help me get ahead in this competition. And take home the grand prize to help relieve some of my debt, due to my failed bakery adventure. No one could have told me I was opening a bakery right before the whole world shut down. And now I’m paying for it in a really hard way. Thank you all so much for your support! And I would be ever so grateful for your vote!
