Treats that appear as superior as they taste

As several terrific organizations are, Georgia’s Sweet Shoppe was born out of a want to make a living from a beloved hobby. For Georgia Madison Smartt, that adore was baking and decorating. 

Madison, as she’s far more frequently recognized locally, mentioned, “I’ve usually 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 seriously pushed me to attempt to sell Mother’s Day cakes 3 years ago. From there, it just went crazy. For nearly two years it is been my complete-time enterprise.”

When asked what type of response her enterprise has garnered, Madison mentioned, “I cannot cease. It seriously is just non-cease.  Holidays are large. Most of the time about the holidays, I am up all evening operating on orders. But birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and other issues keeps me going year-round,” Madison mentioned. 

That sounds like sufficient to retain any individual busy and, for the most component, Madison is handling the workload on her personal. “It really is quite substantially just me. I have help from my family members and my boyfriend but I am the most important baker, decorator, social media, advertising, all of that,” she mentioned.

Even though Georgia’s Sweet Shoppe gives all sorts of baked goods, a handful of things are most often 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 specific pride in her experience at decorating her treats. I was specifically 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 quite. “I attempt to do something any individual throws at me when it comes to decorating and I figure it out as I go,” Madison mentioned.
