NO food coloring. NO artificial flavors. NO day-old cupcakes. And, plenty of laughs as we talk about the meteoric rise of HappyCakes Cupcakery with Angela and Amanda Diaz and how they leverage their success to empower some pretty impressive organizations that help rescue women from the sex trade industry.

This episode was a ton of fun as we learned successful business practices from people who have been there — the processes they put into place to have continued success.

There is a resiliency that comes with building a business from the ground up, and though HappyCakes has faced challenges, it is a better business because of the hardships. The people of Morehead City have proven themselves to be incredibly loyal and supportive customers, and the team that now works at HappyCakes is genuinely like a family. At HappyCakes, we know that no matter what happens in life, there is always a sweet side.
