How It All Began...

I am often asked how I got into cupcakes. Well, Oh So Sweet Cupcakery came to be somewhat unexpectedly. In May of 2009 I volunteered to help my Aunt with the baking for my cousin's dessert wedding reception. Cupcakes were on the menu and this inspired many conversations about today's current cupcake craze. I was encouraged by several family members to pursue the cupcake business. I've always enjoyed a good cupcake but going into the business wasn't something that I had given much thought. It got me thinking and for some reason I just couldn't seem to let it go. All I could think about were cupcakes...flavours, names, packaging, logos. I lay awake many nights from the excitement of it all, the wheels simply refused to stop spinning. The compliments the cupcakes received the day of the wedding encouraged me to go ahead with starting up my own company and in July, Oh So Sweet Cupcakery was born. I have been having so much fun! I have loved coming up with my flavours and naming my cupcakes. I really enjoy baking and creating and this has been an exciting beginning of what I hope will be a long and successful adventure!

I operate out of my home, this allows me stay home with my three cupcake lovin' kids. Tayah (6), Jamison (4) and Logan (1) are my official taste testers, and I'd have to say they love their job! They, along with my husband Jason, have been very supportive. Always quick to offer encouragement, suggestions or a willingness to sample, my family has been very helpful in coming up with flavours. My basic menu of 15 flavours is now finalized. It will change some from time to time, depending on the season and on feedback from customers, so feel free to offer up some suggestions.

Thanks so much for checking out Oh So Sweet's Blog, I hope you'll continue to visit often!

Wishing you a sweet day,
