Sadie Vincent-Wolfe has been a baker for most of her life, although her interest in starting a formal business has only developed over the past few years. A few years ago, Sadie was out of work, pregnant and looking for a way to bring in extra income. Friends and family, aware of her talent, began asking her to bake cakes for special occasions. Growing up with lots of relatives, there was an endless cycle of birthdays, anniversaries and graduations, with many cakes. Now, Sadie receives four to six orders a week including orders that come from people who have learned about her cakes by word-of-mouth. Recently she was even asked to provide a cake for the Order of Nunavut ceremony in Iqaluit!

Sadie has attended a workshop for Inuit women interested in starting a business hosted by Pauktuutit. She found the workshop to be very useful and liked connecting with other women with the same interests. She was able to better define her ideas for business, become more confident about writing a business plan and learn important information, such as business licensing requirements for the city and pricing strategies.

Currently, Sadie is seeking out a location for her business. She is keen to attract walk-by business and maximize the exposure of her products.
