A partnership is born

It was not long after I started my cupcake venture that I received a message from a woman on Long Island.  Her name is Renee and she approached me through a Facebook message, asking me if I wanted someone to help me with cupcake orders on Long Island.  She told me that she loves to bake and would like to be involved in what I had started. 

The challenge with what I had started was that the first people I began sharing my cupcake information with were the ladies on Long Island Families.  Hmmmmm.... "Long Island" Families.  I lived in New Jersey.  As a working mom, I wasn't going to do orders for people on LI unless I had a reason to go there.  I had to keep it local to where I am located.  So right off the bat, I hit a hurdle.  The women on LIF were already familiar with Sophia and her story.  It would have been so easy to tap into that resource to start getting orders for cupcakes there.  But I was in NJ. 

So I took Renee up on her offer.  She serves as the Long Island extension of Cupcakes for Sophia's Cure.  I think it's wonderful that she wanted to join me in my cause.  And from there, we were off and running!
