Today we’d like to introduce you to Katrina Cary.
Hi Katrina, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I am part of an organization that is call For goodness Cakes. This organization allows bakers to bake cake for the less fortunate kids in the community, and I signed up for this organization to give back. I always had a passion for baking and this organization has helped me tap into my potential and grow my business and that’s why I started baking.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Honestly, it has not been a smooth road. I really thought that my business would take off immediately when I start making the infamous burn away cakes, but it didn’t so it kinda made me discouraged because I really thought I was gonna get the clientele, however I’m still trying and still baking for kids in need.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I created my business Dinnonkakes based on my very unique last name. Once my grandmother passed is always been a mission for me to have something that represents our legacy and that’s what made me create dinnon kakes. My business specialize in cakes and treats and sugar cookie. I can also do other cookies, but I am really focusing on sugar cookies because I am also part of organization called icing smile that does cookies and cakes for kids with cancer. A little fact for me, my daughter was born with a rare heart condition that she was able to get a heart transplant and after she got transplant that she got cancer twice, and so my daughter was able to beat that cancer and ever since then I have dedicated myself to give back to kids in need and if I can do it by baking a cake or cookies I’m gonna continue to do it and also try to build my business as much as possible so that’s one of my proudest moment to know that I am doing this for not for myself but for others and yes, I would love to have more clientele to one. They have a storefront but right now I am continue to build my LLC. The best way I know how.
What were you like growing up?
Grow up honestly I could say I was outgoing and played with my siblings and just tried to do my best in school. Once out of high school I became a mother and spent my life raising my kids and navigating through life. Now I’m a mother of 5 and my husband and I do work full time jobs along with me doing my baking.
