AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) –Tequila Moore understands the importance of being a part of a community, and that is what makes her business Sweets By Tequila a major success.
Moore stops by WJBF to talk about how she got started in making and designing “Sweet Treats,” plus, some taste testers join us for the Sweets on the Streets experience!
Welcome to Celebrating Black Excellence. How did you get started with designing sweet treats?
So, when I was younger, every summer in high school, I would go spend the summer with my aunt in Aiken, and she made candy lollipops and personalized them for people’s weddings and things like that. So fast forward some years later, she passed, and it never was a desire. I got pregnant, and I was sitting in the doctor’s office. I saw blue and pink candy apples in a magazine, and I was curious on how to make them. So, I had them for my baby shower. After that, people just started messaging me like, “Hey, how did you get those apples that color?” Because, you know, we’re familiar with just red apples at the fair. So, what started as a hobby turned into a business, and so here we are almost ten years later.
