Today we’d like to introduce you to Markesha Thomas.
Hi Markesha, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I grew up eating holes in my dad’s and aunts’ banana puddings until one day; I gave the recipe a try. My passion for making banana puddings has increased over the past ten years. I started gifting them to family and friends until larger orders for parties, family gatherings, home-going celebrations, and holidays began. The proof is literally in the pudding! Over the years, I opted for a healthier lifestyle, which has allowed me to successfully create plant-based versions of both my Original Goodness and strawberry banana puddings (Berry Banana Blast).
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Although it has not been a smooth road, it has been enjoyable! A few obstacles I have faced are: 1) focusing on the endless possibilities of my banana puddings 2) solidifying TasteBud Enchantress LLC’s business foundations to stay on top of legal matters 3) working smarter and not harder 4) marketing TasteBud Enchantress LLC to other businesses.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about TasteBud Enchantress LLC?
TasteBud Enchantress banana puddings have been craved and purchased for the past ten years in the Houston area, which proves the quality and consistency of the product as well as the satisfaction of customers. In addition to the Original Goodness and Berry Banana Blast, TasteBud Enchantress also offers a vegan dessert that has captured the taste buds of vegans and non-vegans alike. I am most proud of the consistency in taste and texture of the banana puddings over the years, as well as the variety of flavors. TasteBud Enchantress products exist because the people’s taste buds desire to be enchanted, and we needed healthier dessert options down in the South. Currently, Tuesdays and Thursdays are delivery days when pre-ordered and travel fees may apply…
