Meet Tamara:
In her own words -
"For many years I had been pondering, “What am I supposed to do with my life?” The answer came at 4:30 a.m. on July 25, 2017, the reassuring voice of God whispered to me, “Do the cakes first!”
When you think of cakes the first thing that comes to mind is a delicious sweet treat. While I do make the best cakes on Earth, CAKES became my manifesto.
Silver Spoon Desserts was born in August 2017. I prepared my business plan and started baking! Everything lined up with my calling. Giant doors began to open.
My grandson asked me “Mom, why are you baking so many cakes?” I answered “Because it’s the way out! Success came my way. I entered and won three business plan pitch competitions from $2,500, then $10,000, and finally $25,000. Winning the prizes boosted my confidence and set me on a blazing path of success.
I am on a mission to transform, enrich, and empower the lives of women -especially single mothers. We are transforming the “silver spoon” from a symbol of privilege to a symbol of inspiration, prosperity and freedom for all!
C+A+K+E=S
Live.
Because life is the richest, most delicious cake on Earth. Then imagine the magic. Add your own silver spoon, especially when there are none to be found. The big “aha”: you create the spoon, the opportunity, the promise, the hope. The silver spoon is inside you. It always has been.
It took Courage to see the silver spoon. I had to create courage when courage is scarce. The courage to create, to make a difference, to lend a hand to those in need, to believe when no one else around me believed. Courage meant having faith in myself. This was the only way up and out.
Then I took massive Action. I connected with people. I shared my vision and dreams. I lived my values and let the world see them every moment and with every decision I make. I never stopped taking action. I made plans and executed them. You see, I was no longer dreaming, I was doing.
I brought Kindness with me. Kindness comes from love — love for what I do and the people I am doing it for. Kindness is light in a world sometimes dark.
I put 100% Effort behind everything I do. I am all in for my family, my employees, and for every single mother on planet Earth that needs a way up and out. I am my own best advocate. This is my remarkable responsibility.
Lastly, I accepted all my current and future Success with grace. I am humble, grateful, and generous in sharing of all that I have achieved.
Because life tastes good!"
