IAM2416 - Young Baker Passionate about Baking and Make-up

Dominique of Baked Beans Bakeries explains that her aunt started her cupcake business to raise money for her son, who has developmental challenges with his limbs. Over time, the company became a passion project for her aunt. She later expanded to a food truck, which she plans to set up this summer.

 

Dominique explains that she initially considered making her baking business a non-profit, but realized it would be complicated.

 

One cause she is passionate about is mental health, and she hopes to incorporate this into her business’s mission.

 

Dominique acknowledges that she’s still figuring out where she’s headed in life, but feels more confident now about where her interests and passions are taking her.

 

Dominique believes her maturity sets her apart from other preteens, as she wasn’t raised to be loud or overly open about everything in her life. 

 

She emphasizes waiting for God’s calling and trusting that whatever path comes will be right, even if it’s something unexpected.
