Today we’d like to introduce you to Christine Duggan.
Christine, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I bake out of my home in Hyde Park. I started back in 2010 I believe, just because I was bored and wanted something sweet. I didn’t have any box cake mix so I decided to try and make some cupcakes from scratch. That’s when I fell in love with cupcakes and baking. I mostly did it for fun but occasionally had someone order. I love baking especially mini cupcakes.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been easy. I’m basically just starting out, even though I started baking 6 years ago I don’t get many clients since I do bake out of my home and don’t get much marketing. My biggest struggle is getting clients. I know I have a good product but it’s the marketing and getting clients that I have a hard time with. I just don’t know how to go about it.
JayLilly Sweets – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I bake! I love baking I specialize in mini cupcakes. I love the challenges of new flavors and designs.
I am most proud of the product I send out. I try everything I bake and if I don’t feel like it’s good enough I will start completely over. What sets me apart is that I work out of a tiny kitchen in my 1 bedroom apartment. I can’t even fit a table in my kitchen.
What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
The proudest moment for me is the product I send out. I try my hardest and never send out something I wouldn’t want to receive myself.
