Name: Jasmine Johnston

Name of Business & Location: Sweet Lips Desserts, Dieppe, New Brunswick

LN: What is Sweet Lips Dessert?

SLD: Sweet Lips Dessert is my expression of love through food. It’s how I express my creativity and show affection for others.

LN: What inspired you to start Sweet Lips Desserts?

SLD: So Sweet Lips actually was started through COVID… it’s like a COVID baby. I was selling and installing hair extensions and wigs. When COVID occurred, I was no longer able to do that. So I started baking from my kitchen at home. I would release a menu every Monday, and deliver every Friday religiously. That’s how Sweet Lips came to be!

LN:  What surprised you the most about starting the business?

SLD: What surprised me the most was the response that I received. I guess I didn’t really know that I had this talent, it was just something I always did for family and friends. When I came out with it, people received it really well and showed a lot of support.

LN: What were the problems you faced when you started the business?

SLD: So for me, I think the biggest challenge in being a small business owner is knowing how and when to expand. I am a single mom, and I don’t use that as a crutch by any means, but it definitely has presented some challenges for me.

LN: How did COVID 19 affect your business and how did you cope with it?

SLD: Well like I said my business was born through COVID so I can’t really relate to this question. If anything COVID launched my business forward.

LN: What are some online programs you use for your business?

SLD: So my website was built with wix. I think that is a great tool. I did just recently sign up with Quickbooks, which I am still figuring out… but it seems to be a good tool as well. For me social media is the biggest one. Just word of mouth has done wonders for my business.

LN: Was any of the online programs useful to you during COVID?

SLD: Again I can’t really answer this question because my business didn’t exist prior to COVID, so yes all the tools that I discovered during COVID are useful and are continuing to be useful for me.

LN: What was the most fun you have had while running Sweet Lips Dessert?

SLD: Well guess in a way I kind of bring fun. Like when I am doing dessert deliveries, and I show up with cakes and treats and everybody is… you know riled up, and excited to see me. That’s definitely a fun part of my job. Being a provider of goodies to special events.

LN: What is the next milestone for Sweet Lips Dessert?

SLD: So as a next milestone, I would like to eventually have my own shop. I have had this thing happening lately where people are sending me decorative and stylish aprons to the store, to my house. People I don’t even know, and it’s given me this idea of starting my own line of aprons eventually.

LN: What advice would you have for other small business owners?

SLD: My advice to small business owners would be if you have a dream follow it. I feel like we know from a young age our talents, our gifts and what we wanna be doing. I think that if you know deep down, it’s important to stick with it. There’s going to be obstacles and challenges… but that what makes it interesting. So if you have a dream don’t give up on it.
