Today’s Mommy blogger entrepreneur is Serene Shikukeza of A Nurse’s Diary:
Yes, Serene is a registered nurse and she’s not only good on taking care of your health, but she’s also known for making your aching tummy, happy through her sweet kitchen business, Leigh’s Treats.
- Name of Business: Leigh’s Treats
- Contact Details: Inquires on Leigh’s Treats Facebook Page
- Products: Mostly pastries, her best sellers are Red velvet crinkles with cream cheese filling
and mini smores
Serene confessed that she loves pastries and spends a lot on it every week. With her sugar worries, specially for her kids (she really is a nurse!), she started baking to control the amount of sugar on the pastries. It was when “somehow” her hubby’s tummy was satisfied (I am guessing her husband’s tummy is very very picky!) that she was encouraged to turn it into a business. Hence, Leigh’s Treats was bron, which according to her is a portion of both of my her kids’ name. Since the inspiration to start baking came from giving the best for her kids, it is only apt that her business was named after them.
Serene is also a partner at Sophistique Collection (www.facebook.com/SophistiqueCollection) . A joint venture with her sister whom also shares the love for fashion with her (aside from love of pastries).
One of her initial worries when starting the sweet business is not being successful but since she love what she’s doing, she knew she made the right decision of selling sweet treats.
You have to try Serene’s mini smores! Cute addition to your dessert table 🙂 The Red velvet crinkles with cream cheese filling is a perfect Christmas giveaway too!
