Minority Business Highlight: Sweet Ventures
Jasnee Norwood started baking cookies and desserts during the COVID-19 lockdown when she ran out of things to do. She started mixing different ingredients together, and her treats immediately received positive reviews from family and friends.
From that hobby, Norwood created Sweet Ventures, an independently owned and operated sweets business.
“It just sounded like the right thing to do was start a side hustle. So, we came up with some reasonable prices, people started buying, more people started buying, and then the orders just never stopped coming in. Things just kind of took off from there, and we’ve been rolling ever since,” Norwood said.
Norwood said nothing about being a business owner is easy, but she keeps the original love that started Sweet Ventures alive by remaining creative with her baking and always coming up with new products.
The name Sweet Ventures itself is a play on the journey the company has taken Norwood and her clients on.
“Think of an airport and flights rolling in on a steady basis. That’s how Sweet Ventures started off; everything was non-stop. It’s a first-class taste. Each cookie has its own flavor, and each flavor is based on a destination across the world,” said Norwood.
