"In my time in middle school I attended a class that was similar to Home Economics, where we were instructed to bake cookies. When I discovered that I could satisfy my cravings for sweet treats in my own manner, and after that it ended."

However, it was only a couple of years afterwards that Carmen began to make money off her enthusiasm. She started small batches of cookies as a and running a business behind the scenes. "I'd moved from my hometown in the city of my birth to be living in New York City, and I was trying to figure out what I could do to make connections aged people," Carmen says. "I could be a part of the local climbing club and I would provide cookies to climbers and employees--a really effective way to meet new people." After having been "fervently motivated" frequently to promote her cakes, Carmen was able to take advantage of the extra time between jobs to establish her own food-related business in Brooklyn.
