Indulge in the sweet success of a Chicago entrepreneur who acquired a candy factory to keep the city's chocolate-making legacy alive while creating jobs in her community.Mouthwatering caramel, chocolate covered potato chips, mint meltaways and turtles, and then there's the "to die for" cake specialties including lemon, rainbow and a Chicago favorite, "The Obama," featuring moist and buttery layers of yellow and dark chocolate cake.
She founded I Hart Corporation, which includes the Brown Sugar Bakery and Life is Sweet candy brands. The inspiration for her dreams came from her mom and grandmother who showed their love by baking delicious memories for her; she says her desserts "reflect my African American upbringing." Stephanie has big plans to update the factory and expand the business in her African American community, which will also mean her tasty treats will get national exposure. You can already find "Life is Sweet" candies in Macy's and other retail stores and they are now available in airports across the country. Her delicious cakes are also shipped nationwide.
