Like many people, Bree Britt once dreamed of starting her own business. But unlike many people, the 16-year-old American did not wait until she grew up to become an entrepreneur. With a sense of purpose, a plan of action and the help of her mother, she opened Bree"s Sweet Treats in Accokeek, Maryland.
For Bree Britt, nothing is more enjoyable, satisfying and calming than preparing food in the kitchen. Being a baker is like being an artist—the food has to be cooked just right. She says baking enables her to be innovative and creative.
Bree Britt started cooking with her great-grandmother when she was five-years old. A short time later, Bree perfected her great-grandmother"s step-by-step directions. She then started to create her own recipes. When she was 12, Bree told her mother she wanted to open a bakery.
Charmaine Britt is Bree"s mother. She told Bree to sell her baked goods online first to see if her daughter was serious. The baked goods made enough money through Internet sales that Charmaine Britt became her daughter"s business partner. They signed a rental agreement for office space and opened Bree"s Sweet Treats. Charmaine is responsible for the store during the day until Bree gets out of school.
Leo Harrington owns a nearby barbershop. He comes to the store almost every day. He likes the choice of baked goods. Leo Harrington also says he respects what Bree has done. "I watch her diligence; school, then here, baking all the evening and getting ready for the next day."
Going to school is not easy when operating a business. However, Bree says doing both taught her how to make good decisions about how she spends her time.
"Her cupcakes are made, are flavored with fresh fruits or more of the extracts, more so than the sugar." Sugar or no sugar, Bree"s treats are sweet enough to keep them coming back for more.
