Our Story

Teen Entrepreneur

Jessica Cervantes decided to create an innovative cupcake on an edible stick when prompted to create a business with the help of The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) in 2006 at the age of 16.

Ever since her grandmother taught her how to bake, Jessica has loved measuring and tasting different ingredients - and mixing them up to see how her culinary creations would turn out. But it wasn't until Jessica became a part of the International Business and Finance Academy at John A. Ferguson Senior High school, that baking and business came together in a brand new recipe for success.

The budding baker/entrepreneur competed against 25,000 business students across the country and won first place in the NFTE National business plan, a competition which was held on October 23, 2008 in New York City. Her innovative creation has caused a great buzz across the United States, as well as Mexico.

Jessica is now a student at the Honors College of Miami Dade College, managing both her business and studies. She is currently majoring in Biomedical Engineering, yet hopes to one day become a corporate lawyer.
