Help Cheesecake Culture Launch Shipping

I am Danielle, President of Cheesecake Culture, a small business that opened its doors in December 2019.  

It has been a dream of mine since I was a teenager to open a bakery. I have always loved creating sinful desserts that transport you to a world where nothing else matters. In that world, there is no virus, there is no stress, and there is only rich joy. So, I decided it was finally time to turn the dream into a reality. I moved my two littles to Utah and went to work creating a vision that would bring cheesecake to life.  Why cheesecake you might ask?  Well, who doesn't love cheesecake?!  It's delicious, decadent, and speaks to the soul. 

Cheesecake Culture is located in St George, Utah.  A community filled with amazing people, a strong community, and a vibrant outdoor culture... the perfect place to make magic happen.  What I didn't know, was that the grueling 8 months of relentless challenges leading up to the grand opening, was just the beginning.  The real struggles would come just three short months after opening.  

A global pandemic is definitely not the most ideal way to kick off a brand new business.  With every month brought with it the question, how?!  How do I make it through this, how do I pivot, how to I survive, how do I thrive, how the heck do I feed my kids and not throw my entire world into a tailspin?!

I have been SOO incredibly fortunate to have found a way, each month.  Through loans, prayers to the universe, amazing family and supportive friends...  I also have some of the best customers on planet earth, I have made it to this point.

Where does this leave us?  The unfortunate truth is that the hope of this pandemic dissipating, is just not a current reality... but, I will not give up.  As much as I want to hide in my closet, cry, and pretend it's all a bad dream... and lets be honest, I did that last week... I have to find another way.  I have to expand and grow outside the confines of my little bakery to the big world around me... and with this plan, I need some support.  That's where you come in.  

I am working on implementing a shipping program that will take our products to many of the surrounding states. However, it is not something that comes cheap or without a lot of time and manpower. I know with your help we can make this goal part of our reality, and hopefully, what will help propel us into a healthier future of growth. It has been very hard to even think about asking for help this way.  The hope is, if everyone contributes a small donation and helps spread the word, then we can all be part of saving this little bakery and big dream.

If you've read this far, you are a superstar!  I know this has been an incredibly challenging time for many, I hope things improve soon for everyone around the world.

I will never forget a kindness that has been shown to me.  I will never forget how you spent your time to read this, even if you can't help monetarily, your love and support mean the world to me. It is through the small and simple things, after all, that this beautiful human race, that we are all a part of, will reconnect with balance and help rebuild this amazing world we live in.  Cheers and from the depths of my soul, thank you. 

Once you become fearless... life becomes limitless. Let us not bow down to the fear in our lives, let us rise up to our truest potential!
