Exploring Life & Business with DarNisha Hardaway of Minnie’s Sweets & Treats LLC

Today we’d like to introduce you to DarNisha Hardaway

Hi DarNisha, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Minnie’s Sweets & Treats was born from a deep love for baking and a passion for bringing people together through homemade desserts. What started as a simple joy of creating sweet treats for family and friends soon turned into something bigger, an opportunity to share that love with the world. Inspired by generations of bakers before her, the founder combined cherished family recipes with her own creative twists, crafting delicious cakes, cookies, and pies that feel like home with every bite.

With dedication, faith, and a sprinkle of love, Minnie’s Sweets & Treats has grown into more than just a bakery—it’s a place where every dessert tells a story, and every bite is made with care. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just because, Minnie’s is here to make life a little sweeter, one treat at a time.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The journey of building Minnie’s Sweets & Treats hasn’t always been smooth, but every challenge has shaped it into what it is today. In the beginning, one of the biggest struggles was balancing a growing business with family responsibilities. Juggling motherhood, entrepreneurship, and the demands of daily life meant long nights, early mornings, and countless sacrifices.

Another hurdle was gaining recognition and building a loyal customer base. Competing with larger, well-established bakeries meant proving that homemade, handcrafted treats had something special to offer. There were moments of doubt, financial struggles, and learning curves in managing orders, pricing, and marketing.

But through it all, the passion for baking and the love from supportive family, friends, and loyal customers kept the dream alive. Every challenge was met with determination, faith, and the belief that good things come to those who persevere. Now, Minnie’s Sweets & Treats continues to grow, serving delicious, heartfelt treats and proving that hard work and passion truly pay off.
