Sweetener, located in Indianapolis, is a Black-owned dessert shop founded and led by Kayla Howell.
Known for its innovative and mouth-watering treats, Sweetener quickly became a fan favorite. Howell’s passion for baking shines through in each creation.
“I have been baking since I was 13,” Howell told the Indiana Minority Business Magazine. “I decided to take it seriously and open Sweetener almost two years ago.”
Sweetener houses all the treats that come to mind when one thinks of dessert. Customers can indulge in cookies, cakes, pies, brownies and more.
Howell said she caters to parties, events and other large gatherings.
Pricing at Sweetener ranges between $10-25 depending on the treat and the quantity.
“I love baking and learning about the art of baking,” Howell said. “I love trying new things for Sweetener. It is really like my baby.”
Howell spoke about the importance of highlighting minority-owned businesses like Sweetener.
“Working multiple jobs and trying to go to school is difficult,” Howell said. “Advertising is expensive. It can be hard for small businesses to gain exposure. That is why platforms like the Indiana Minority Business Magazine are important.”
