What is your favorite Christmas dish?
My favorite Christmas dish would have to be my mom's stuffing! Oh my goodness, it is to die for! She puts sooo much love in all her cooking but I would have to say her stuffing is, hands-down, my favorite holiday dish.

Tell me a little something about yourself and your business.
My name is Marie. I am 30 years old, married, and a stay-at-home mom to four beautiful kids. I also have been running a sweets business out of my home, called “Marie's Sweets,” for the past six years! I make all kinds of goodies that melt in your mouth and also beautiful cakes for any special occasion. My favorite part i love is seeing my customers reactions to their orders! Makes me love what I do even more!

What services do you offer?
Marie's Sweets offers any kind of customized cakes, chocolate-dipped strawberries or any kind of goodies that hit that sweet tooth!

In speaking of your business, what are some gift-giving ideas for those who just don’t know what to get their loved one?
