Essie's Delights

This weekend I find myself reminiscing about the early days of my business journey. I transitioned from those early intense days of late night planning & brainstorming to a more balanced pace!
Today, I am grateful for the chance to slow down and enjoy moments of peace.
How are you enjoying today?

Parents are you ready?
It’s Back 2 School time📚✂️📝🖍️✏️📕🚌🏫🚸

Before we roll out the red carpet for August, let me introduce you to the latest additions to our Sweet family!
I don’t believe our new out of state family delights actually made it to their destinations: Minnesota, Maryland, VA & ATL🤣

Vending gives me the opportunity to network and build relationships with so many businesses owners from all over. Tone & I had the pleasure to vend with Rob owner of Uncle Dave’s Kettle Korn (Virginia Beach) this past weekend. Rob enjoyed the 🍌 Pudding 🍓 Shortcakes Jars so much he went around the event marketing them🤣

June came in with all sorts of issues for me. From my 🛻 going out on me while I was driving on the 🛣️ to a dr’s appointment where I found out I need surgery. Then I met Cam Cam here who made sure I got the right new ride. I had to make sure he got the Flavor Queen special dzn & 1/2.
What exactly is dzn & 1/2? A dzn assortment of our Gourmet Cookies & 1/2 dzn of🧁.

Wednesday motivation tip

No matter what’s going on in business or your personal life, remember to SMILE and still give thanks 🙏🏾

May has been one of those months for the Flavor Queen.

Today marks the celebration of International Being You Day. I find my truest self when I am fully immersed in my element. Gratitude overflows towards this community and the unwavering support extended to my business. 🎉🥳

Say 👋🏾 to Essie's Delights Brunch w/Mom Cooking class Chefs!
The kiddos rocked the kitchen, making 🧇, home fries, 🥓, sausage, scramble 🍳eggs, fruit salad and even tackling the mystery of grits!
Their dessert game was on point with Vanilla Bean Cheesecake, Cookie Butter Cupcakes, Gourmet Cookies (Banana Pudding, Black Cherry Chocolate & Peach Cobbler Cheesecake) and more drool-worthy Blueberry/Strawberry glazes.

Stay tuned for a reel showing the Chefs in action🤗
