Sweets by LaDawn
By Ian DesJardins
Last
week I took a trip with my travel writing group to a little place called
“Sweets by LaDawn”. It is a small bakery
that is located quite close to leaves of learning. When we walked into the small building, the
loud door buzzer sounded. The lobby was
very small. It was about a meter wide
and 6 meters long. There was a glass
container which held many delicious looking sweets. Next to that was a desk with a cash register
on it. There were three lights hanging
from the ceiling above the container and the desk. The space that we were in was very
cramped. All six of us were packed into
this little lobby area. I was closest to
the door, and it was a very awkward spot for me to be in because other
costumers would open the door, try to get in, realize that there was no room,
put on an angry face, and walk out.
A
few facts about LaDawn herself are that she moved from Baton Rouge , Louisiana Cincinnati ,
she started up her business in that building that we were in. She had a little help for her business
because before she moved, she had a costumer base. These costumers recommended her when she was
in Cincinnati .
That really helped her Cincinnati
business get off the ground. She also
said that some of the costumers in Cincinnati
call her “the next cake boss” or “the cake boss of Cincinnati ”.
She makes many specially ordered wedding cakes, cupcakes, normal cakes,
and this wonderful thing called “Not-a-cheesecake cake”. She said that the “Not-a-cheesecake cake” is her best seller.
