–cakes that not only look good — they are delicious!

, owned and run by Sueann Rodrigues, has been in operation since March 2016. This small business specialises in customising exotic cakes for weddings, birthdays, and any other occasion. They also cater for an array of other baked goods such as chicken puffs, eclairs, macaroons, cheesecakes, muffins, and cookies.
Recently, Sueann’s Sprinkles ‘N’ Spice Cakes launched a new product called cake bowls. These quaint bowls of treats are for those on-the-go persons who want a “sprinkle of sweet” in their day. The cake bowls are mainly available on the weekends or by large orders only.
Sueann values greatly her profession as an entrepreneur, since she has a passion for learning and conquering challenges. Over the years, she has learnt to always give her full potential in her work and give her clients exactly what they want.
She said: “Previously I was a seamstress and designer and to some extent still work in that field. However, I discovered my passion for baking, specifically cake decorating, when my children were younger.

“I would bake them a cake for every birthday, holiday or event and that grew until I was baking and sharing out to friends and one of those friends encouraged me to turn it into a business.”
Sueann took this advice, gave it a shot and now her hobby has blossomed into a thriving catering business. Baking and decorating cakes gave Sueann the opportunity to do something she is passionate about while making others happy.
Sueann’s greatest influence is her family. They have encouraged her as well as offered their constructive criticism and opinions when needed to help improve her products and overall business.
The entrepreneur noted that she feels a great sense of accomplishment when she gets good reviews from her customers. It is always positive feedback and there are always repeating customers, who say a lot about her products and service.
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had a negative impact on businesses worldwide. When COVID-19 first hit Guyana, business for Sueann’s Sprinkles ‘N’ Spice Cakes had slowed up because of the uncertainty.

Customers were postponing or cancelling their orders, but it is a relief to know that the situation has since changed, and business is “back to normal” and maybe even better. For Sueann, the most effective marketing platforms for her business have been social media and word of mouth which have helped her reach customers through the lockdowns.
The best advice she has received in business that she wishes to pass on to readers are to never doubt yourself and trust that you have the knowledge and the skills to execute every project to the best of your abilities. Next year, the number one business goal is to expand Sueann’s Sprinkles ‘N’ Spice Cakes and hopefully convert it into a dainty walk-in cake shop.
Sueann has such an immense passion for her business that apart from earning an income, she also does it for fun and relaxation. However, she said that if she was not baking cakes, she would be learning about cakes or watching movies with her family.
