Keri's Kreations "Sweeten your Day"



Well the word is out. I'm starting my own business. I love cooking and baking, so i decided why not make some money doing it.
It all started about 4 months ago. I was asked to do the food for a baby shower. My mom did all the fruit and cheese stuff i did the sweets. I decided to make these mini cupcakes. I went all out. they were gourmet. There were six to eight different flavors. I got so many compliments. They were a huge hit. WEll a couple months passed, and i did them for a birthday party. Again huge success. Then Gina asked me to do them for Shalyse's baby shower. They could only be pink and brown. So i got all of Shlayse's favorite candy and made some more gourmet mini cupcakes. Again everyone loved them. So by this time I'm thinking, i need to start making money. I then get a call a couple of days ago, asking if I can do a wedding function. I'm so excited. I've been brain storming on what to call my business. First it was Keri's Kakes, but I'm not doing cakes. So then i thought about Keri's Kupcake Kreations. But that won't work. KKK, not a good idea. So Keri's Kreations it is. Wish me luck on this new adventure, hopefully it takes me somewhere great.

Such a good idea! May as well make some extra $$$ while you're cooking! My little sis is getting married in August, maybe you can do her desserts too! =)

Keri, that sounds like a lot of fun, you are a "go getter"; a mom of two, wife, and now a business woman! Congrats! Be sure to keep us all posted as your business grows.
