Today we’d like to introduce you to Jennifer Escamilla.
Hi Jennifer, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved to bake. Didn’t hit me till after I was married and had kids that I could turn into a business. I’m completely self-taught and have trials and tribulations. It all started w my daughter’s birthday 5 years ago. I made her cake and just kept on making all my kid’s cakes from there on out. I started taking orders and charging just for supplies. I just wanted to get the practice in. Here I am 5 years later, booked about every week. I’ve built friendships with just about all my clients. Six kids.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It definitely hasn’t been smooth. Being self-taught made it so much harder. I didn’t have someone to teach me. It was all figured out myself. Which I did sometimes with tears and sweat lol. Cakes can be very tricky. Learning to get a moist cake, smooth buttercream, or even leveled cakes. 5 years later, and I’m still learning new things all the time.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Sprinkalicous is a cake & treat business. We specialize in cakes, buttercream or fondat. We also make treats such as cake pops, pretzels, etc. I think what’s set me apart from other cake artists is that I offer treats. A lot of people like to order and order from one business. Just makes things easier. I know most bakers don’t offer treats.
