Hi I'm Ali, and when I started selling cakes, my goal was to make kids’ cake dreams come true!

My favourite thing about having my own business is the flexibility to make my own hours and set my own policies

One of the biggest challenges I'm facing right now is, there's so much extra work not related to production that can be really difficult to work into my week. Being a one woman show is hard!

It has been challenging to run a business from home (especially one that results in a lot of extra dishes!) but my husband helps clean up and my kids always have something nice to say about my work and are free marketing!

The hardest thing about being a Mom Entrepreneur is it’s a huge juggling act. Lots of planning, and can be mentally draining. The constant feeling of wanting to be a great mom but also wanting to contribute financially can result in me taking on more than I can handle at times.

I really find myself connecting with other Mom Entrepreneurs easily. I am an introvert but also very outgoing and I have no qualms starting up a conversation online or attending meet ups for mom entrepreneurs. We can easily relate to each other despite not being in the same business

Some of my favourite things to do with my kids are: I love painting/drawing/colouring with them Reading them stories (I do all the voices!) Bringing them somewhere for the first time and watching the excitement!

I like most music! My go-to artists lately have been Taylor Swift and Machine Gun Kelly

If I ever became Rich I'd: 1) set us up to be financially independent 2) Travel more 3) choose a few organizations to support more substantially or create my own. Causes relating to child welfare and safety are of huge importance to me

The kinds of things that make me happy are Good food, good company and a good comedy show!
