Sweet News

It has been a while since I have written, but it is because the Sweet Inde team has been very busy and productive..

I am so excited to announce that Sweet Inde Bakery has been chosen for an ASU Challenge Innovator grant for $2000.00, which will provide us with enough funding to achieve nonprofit status and start Sweet Inde this summer. I found out Friday night while driving to Michael's house via the email function on my blackberry.. the email included a list of 10 winners of the grant and Sweet Inde Bakery was the 8th of the list! I screamed in my car when I found out and screamed again when I informed Michael at his doorstep!

Sweet Inde has also been chosen to be highlighted in an ASU newsletter, Pulse. Please read "My Story: Everyone Can Learn and Become Independent" at: http://entrepreneurship.asu.edu/newsletter/2010/04/29/my-story-everyone-can-learn-and-become-independent. This was an amazing opportunity to tell the story of what inspired the creation of Sweet Inde Bakery!

These two amazing advances that Sweet Inde has made are a dream come true. I am still taking it all in, but at the same time, I know that there is still so much to do and am excited to get started! Sweet Inde will now begin applying for nonprofit status, develop bylaws and choose a Board of Directors. Keep following the Sweet Inde story, as there will be a lot of exciting news and baked goods on sale soon!
