Treats that appear as very good as they taste
As quite a few fantastic companies are, Georgia’s Sweet Shoppe was born out of a want to make a living from a beloved hobby. For Georgia Madison Smartt, that really like was baking and decorating.
Madison, as she’s far more normally identified locally, stated, “I’ve generally baked with my mom. I grew up in the kitchen with her and in higher college I began playing about far more with decorating. I continued on by means of college and my mom and my boyfriend actually pushed me to attempt to sell Mother’s Day cakes 3 years ago. From there, it just went crazy. For pretty much two years it really is been my complete-time organization.”
When asked what sort of response her organization has garnered, Madison stated, “I cannot quit. It actually is just non-quit. Holidays are enormous. Most of the time about the holidays, I am up all evening functioning on orders. But birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and other issues keeps me going year-round,” Madison stated.
That sounds like sufficient to hold any person busy and, for the most element, Madison is handling the workload on her personal. “It is fairly a great deal just me. I have assistance from my family members and my boyfriend but I am the most important baker, decorator, social media, advertising and marketing, all of that,” she stated.
When Georgia’s Sweet Shoppe provides all types of baked goods, a handful of things are most regularly requested. “On a weekly basis, I push out a lot of decorated sugar cookies and cakes. Other than that, I do cupcakes, drop cookies, brownies, blondies and I am beginning to do chocolate covered pretzels and Oreos,” Madison stated.
In addition to baking scrumptious goodies, Madison requires unique pride in her experience at decorating her treats. I was in particular delighted that she brought a specially customized St. Patrick’s Day cookie to our interview. I can attest it was as tasty as it was fairly. “I attempt to do something any person throws at me when it comes to decorating and I figure it out as I go,” Madison stated.
