Sharon Williams' Story
I have been buying from this store since it was located next to the old Post Office in the center of town. I used to go in and get my cake pans and candy making supplies. If I needed to know how to create a project, they were always very helpful. It was my favorite store to shop in before my purchase of this business.
I really didn't go into Sweet Beginnings to buy the business. I was going into the store to tell Phyllis that I was starting a website to make homemade chocolates and ship! I already worked for the post office for 17 years, so I knew shipping! Phyllis had asked me, "How would you like to buy a business?" I said, "Excuse me? This one?" She said, "Yes." I asked her what was included and she told me, "Everything you see right down to all the cake pans!" Her and her daughter-in-law had just decided they were tired of it and wanted to retire. I gave her 24 hours to give me a good price so I could go to the bank, give my notice at the Post Office and re-create Sweet Beginnings!!!
I changed Sweet Beginnings from a place to buy Cake and Candy Supplies, to a place you could still buy your cake and candy supplies, plus a whole lot more! Cake pan rentals, Candy Making Supplies, Recipes for Candy, Cake Making Supplies, Cake and Candy boxes and boards and doilies, Fresh baked Cakes/Pastries, Homemade Candy, Special order 3D cakes, Wedding Cakes, Birthday Cakes, Anniversary Cakes, Bar/Batmitzvah Cakes, Baby Shower Cakes, Bridal Shower Cakes, Groom's Cakes and anything else you can think or dream of! I rarely say "NO" to anyone when I am given enough time to put my creativity to work. My motto is, "The impossible just takes longer!" also, I do not believe that you shouldn't be able to eat everything that is created for the cake.

Yes, our business has made arrangements with Mr. & Mrs. Earl Reese for the recipes and they are now being created here! Just check out the menu and order! Mr. Reese's brother, Robert Reese, helped to set up their bakery and has been here at Sweet Beginnings since September of 2005!
