I’m the owner and creator of Sweet Tooth Marshmallows. At the age of 10 I started my business in January 2022. My business started in November 2021, when I asked my Mum in our local Woolworths at Lake Cathie, NSW why are there no chocolate marshmallows and why shop-brought marshmallows lack flavour?
Sweet Tooth Marshmallows started in November 2021 where, with the help of my Mum, and after two months of testing, we created a unique recipe, for Sweet Tooth Marshmallows, – they are as soft as a cloud and full of flavour.
As the creator and owner of Sweet Tooth Marshmallows, I was awarded the 2023 Australian Tween Entreprenuer in the Teens in Business and was a Top 5 FInalist in the Regional and Remote Entreprenuer of Austalia.
I’m passionate business owner with a focus on soft as a cloud and full of flavour marshmallows.
Flavour, texture and enjoyment. This is what a marshmallow brings. My family has always brought out marshmallows when there is a fire, and we are together. We have enjoyed camping with many a campfire stories around the fire, toasting marshmallows.
Marshmallows bring people together and it is for this reason I sought and could not find chocolate marshmallows. This need being unfulfilled led my Mum and I to create our own special marshmallow recipe when I could not buy flavoured marshmallows and in particular chocolate marshmallows in supermarkets and shops.
Why as consumers do, we accept the marshmallows available in supermarkets that lack flavour and texture. We need to enjoy flavour, and my Sweet Tooth Marshmallows allow our tastebuds to have flavour and be as soft as a cloud.
I love to talk about my business journey creating our full of natural flavour, soft as a cloud marshmallows. Our focus is on creating a delicious product that we can enjoy and create memories.
My marshmallows are award winning. Having won Gold, Silvers and Bronze medals for 5 flavours of marshmallows.
When you try my delicious soft as a cloud marshmallows, your tastebuds will thank you for the experience and will help you create many memories with family and friends.
Life is short, we should enjoy gourmet, full of flavour and soft as a cloud marshmallows, try our range of Sweet Tooth Marshmallows, they will change your opinion of marshmallows and your taste buds will love you for it.
Being a Tween and now Teen Entrepreneur I have learnt a lot since I commenced my business in January 2022 at the age of 10 years. Seeing business from the perspective of a Tween/Teen Entrepreneur brings a different point of view, particularly one of ease through a young person’s eyes.
I have found that as a young entrepreneur there are many adults talking about helping and creating viable businesses for youth entrepreneurs, but very few young people, leading the conversation. I seek to change this by leading the conversation, educating young people that by believing in your vision and dream and a little hard work can be a young entrepreneur. I’m in the youth council with Young Change Agents and seek to help teachers and educators to upskill youth with entrepreneurial skills. I have a lived experience of being a young entrepreneur and I seek to share that experience with young people and adults.
I’m available to talk at Business Chambers, Youth Forum and other events that allow me to share the business journey to date. It has not always been smooth but I’m fortunate that my parents are fully supporting me and as my business has grown are willing to work in my business with me.
I’m continuing to develop as a person and grow as a business owner. If you would like to hear my story and allow me to help your audience grow and see business opportunities through the eyes of a young person, then please reach out to me to discuss how we can work together.
