0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Sweet Sangat Cupcake Fairy is our latest and greatest cupcake. We designed this
cupcake to benefit the customer for Life. For the most part, we just do cupcakes. We have a few
other treats available, but the focus is definitely on the cupcakes. We believe in doing one thing
exceptionally well rather than multiple things mediocrely. We work out of our commercial or
retail kitchen rather than the home kitchen so that would be more of the transition. The reason for
this was we just outgrew our home kitchen.
When we found our space and started working on turning it into a commercial kitchen,
we did not initially plan on being open for retail/walk-in business when we opened in August
2011. However, once people found out that we were in commercial space and no longer in our
home, we were besieged with requests to be open for walk-in business. After deciding that we
there working anyway and why not make some extra money while we at it, we opened the doors
for walk-in traffic. We started small, just 3 days a week to see how it went, and by November
2011, we were open 6 days a week.
We have to be very diplomatic in explaining to your customers as to why something may
or may not be done. Everything is made to order for each customer. The base recipes (cakes and
icing) are combinations of family recipes, recipes from books and recipes we found on the web.
We made our own mutant recipes and have consistently used those since we started.
We are tried some advertising in papers and the best for us which is make our own
website online while Facebook and Twitter are amazing tools. Initially, we was wary of social
media. As a recovering Facebook addict, the thought of putting my business on Facebook just
did not seem like a great idea.
Part of what makes our cupcakes awesome is that we keep our overhead low, which
allows our prices to be low compared to other retail cupcakes. We also offers caters weddings,
events, baby showers and more offers local delivery for our delicious cupcakes.

Magazines are much more specialized in content and more national in distribution than

quickly thrown away as newspaper. We choose Recipies magazine to promote our
product. This is because this magazine is very suitable for our product.

benefits along fax and phone number, mailing and e-mail address and Web site
