FROM PRE-MED TO GOURMET GIRL
This month, it’s our pleasure to introduce you to a smart and talented young entrepreneur with a“sweet”business! Q: Who is the“Gourmet Girl”? A: My name is Adenike Mosley-Brown. I am the Cake Architect and owner of Gourmet Girl CustomCakes, serving Northeast Ohio. Self- taught with 16 years of experience, I believe that a cake should not only be a culinary experience, but it should also be a true reflection of the person(s) being celebrated. Gourmet Girl CustomCakes specializes in mixing gorgeous with gourmet to create artisanal wedding and special- occasion cakes for the sweetest of memories! Q: How did you get into this business? A: Gourmet Girl CustomCakes came to be as the result of switching career paths. I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology, with every intention of attendingmedical school. However, after the unfortunate death of my mother, I began Gourmet Girl CustomCakes to cope withmy grief and also to feel connected to fondmemories of baking withmy mother growing up.
A: One challenge that I have faced as an entrepreneur is recognizing that being totally self-sufficient and attempting to do everything for my business alone does not necessarily equate tomy desired outcome of success. I am learning that there is beauty in reaching out for help and that a strong support
system and teamnot only lends to working hard, but working smart as well. Q: What are your aspirations for the future?
A: I look forward to opening a brick-and-mortar bakery in the near future, but I am also preparing for any opportunity to compete, showcasingmy skill level and cake design aesthetic on a national level. I consider cake to be my art medium, and I would love to share my art with a wider audience. Q: What made you to reach out to Concierge CPAs? A: I felt I needed clarity about scalingmy business so that it can support me full time. Borbala helpedme realize what it takes to get where I want to be and shared withme tools and best practices that will get me there. Q: How can we reach you? A: If you are interested in learningmore about Gourmet Girl Custom Cakes as well as viewingmy gorgeously gourmet creations, please feel free to check out my website and social media accounts:
Baking calmedme, allowed me an escape, and afforded me a way to channel my energy. I’ve found a true enjoyment in the creation process that has led to the production of such positive, visually pleasing, and delicious products.
I never would have thought that I would take a path from biology to baking, doing something that allows me to use my creativity to bring others joy. In many ways, God and my business delivered me from a very low point in my life, and thus Gourmet Girl Custom Cakes was born. Q: What challenges have you had to overcome so far as an entrepreneur that surprised you?
