Karamelo's Cupcakes

So in the last note I explained where my love for baking came from and how it shapes what I do...... that then led to what many of you know today as KARAMELO'S CUPCAKES...... ten years ago I would not have known that I would be selling cupcakes at school and to those who really like my work.... my sisters had a better guess that this would happen though... when I was younger I had different types of businesses... I had super successful yard sales ... and my first business being the selling of sweets I collected at parties....however KARAMELO’S CUPCAKES is more than a business decision...

The Name..... KARAMELO

The name of this business came about because of several things......firstly the name can be thought of as made from two main words   Karissa +  Lelo Caramelo  ........ 
 

Karissa Guerrero, is a realllly good friend of mine, I met her in my first year of SJCSLA ... (August 2008)   And has proven to be one of the most loyal, trustworthy, and sweetest person I have come to know... not only that.. SHE BAKES!!! .... Karissa is really interested in the culinary arts, and I strongly believe she is capable of being an amazing chef....good luck Kar!!!

Lelo Caramelo, (Aurelio Sanchez) this is a nick name that was stuck on me from high school.... lelo was a family name that one of my classmates heard when my uncle was talking to me ....... the caramelo part got attached due to the fact that it means sweets.... in high school I was known as a sugar addict ....always hyper and always bringing enough candy to share with the class.... I was known for baking and making food to take to school and shared with my class (in an all boys school --- food is like gold) 

Knowing how the name came about will help you to understand a bit more about what the business is about....   this project is a way for us to do several things.... 1...  Karissa gets practice should she go to culinary school.....    2.. I get to work with an awesome friend doing what I love… the money we collect from the cupcakes goes towards more ingredients so we can continue experimenting and providing our school with something new and exciting  all the time :)
