Scribe: Traci Tenhulzen Introduced by: Bob Holert

Margo spend 20 years out of college cleaning for executives and residential.  She loved her cleaning service but realized that God would take her into a new, wonderful direction.  Her husband and Margo have 4 adopted children and shared her precious stories about how they came into their lives.

All 4 children work in the company.

Margo started to make cupcakes for children that may not have had a birthday cake or celebration.   Then she started to make cupcakes for children that could not have a birthday cake.  She was having more requests for cupcakes for children in need.  2009, her business was born.  On opening day 2000 cupcakes were sold.

Small business is hard but when you have a passion the turns into a reality, you are a success!

Pinkabella Cupcakes – Turning passion into profit.  Now 5 stores including our own Bellevue Square and Redmond Town Center!

Let Them Eat Cake! Margo brought in some samples…yum!
