Treats that appear as fantastic as they taste

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

Madison, as she’s additional frequently recognized locally, stated, “I’ve usually baked with my mom. I grew up in the kitchen with her and in higher college I began playing about additional with decorating. I continued on via 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 virtually two years it really is been my complete-time organization.”

When asked what sort of response her organization has garnered, Madison stated, “I can not cease. It seriously is just non-cease.  Holidays are big. Most of the time about the holidays, I am up all evening functioning on orders. But birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and other items keeps me going year-round,” Madison stated. 

That sounds like adequate to hold anybody busy and, for the most portion, Madison is handling the workload on her personal. “It is quite significantly just me. I have help from my loved ones and my boyfriend but I am the major baker, decorator, social media, advertising, all of that,” she stated.

When Georgia’s Sweet Shoppe presents all types of baked goods, a handful of products 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.
