Today we’d like to introduce you to Tamika Heard
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started baking in my family’s bakery a little over 20 years ago. I love baking! It’s my therapy so when i left the family business, I did what i knew to do…BAKE. I remained in the last building i baked in with my parents and i began to spread BUTTERIFFIC LOVE. I’ve been on my own since 2021 and I’ve had ups and downs but I wouldn’t change a thing. I love being able to bake and bring happy feelings to so many people. We bake 22 fresh homemade cookies everyday except Sundays. We also make banana puddings made with our Butter Cookies. Pies made with our Butter Cookie Crust and we also dabble in other Sweets on Saturdays (Super Sweet Saturday at Butteriffic) like Brownies, cakes, cake pops and other baked goods. We also like to connect with the community by allowing entrepreneurs to showcase their products art the bakery. We also invite local Foodtrucks to pop up.
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?
there have been a lot of ups and downs… but that’s just what comes with owning a business… working with my parents prepared me for a lot of it. A lot of growing pains… I’ve had more wins than losses and that’s alright
