On International Women s Day today, Warwick Daily News is highlighting one of those women – a business owner who built an empire and is inspiring other young women to accomplish the same.
For owner Karyn Mills, Story Book Cakes started from a place of “devastation and heartbreak”.
Struggling with the shock death of her mum from swine flu, Mrs Mills turned to baking as a way to “get out of bed and move forward.”
Mrs Mills’ superb talent then turned into a catering business and demand was growing for an alternative product customers could snack on outside of special occasions.
It was then she decided to embark one of the most nerve-racking decisions of her life – launching her own mud cake mixes.
