For we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
About Melissa
I started my pound cake business in October of 2000 on a leap of faith. I was stuck in a job that I hated and was a single mother of one son who was four years old at the time. The job I hated paid the bills and gave us some room to play but the stress of the job as well as the time it took away from my son was unbearable. My son's grandmother, Nancy, had been operating her pound cake business for a few years and was ready to move on to something new and different. I had been praying for God to guide me to the right career path. Nancy called me one evening in September of 2000 and asked if I wanted to take over the business. I was thrilled and scared all at the same time. I was a single mom who needed to pay the bills and meet the needs of my son. How could I quit a good job with benefits and start a business that had no guarantees? I prayed and decided to take a leap of faith.
Historically, December has been my busiest time and the income from December cake sales carried us through most of the year. The rest of the income was made by weekly sales to delis, coffee houses, caterers, and businesses who used my cakes as their employee birthday gifts or client appreciation gifts throughout the year.
I've enjoyed delivering my cakes the most. I love seeing the excitement in a person's eyes knowing that they're about to get one of my cakes. I love that they look forward to that cake every year on their birthday. One year a client of mine decided to do something different for their Christmas gifts and the recipients actually fussed about not getting Melissa's Pound Cakes! These things bring joy to my heart because I love making people happy by feeding them.
I know you'll enjoy sending and receiving my cakes. Ordering is easy. You can call me at 704-918-8214 or use the Contact Us Form. I hope to hear from you soon.
