“Kindness and love are like sugar. It makes life taste a little sw eeter.”

- Jen Salvevold

without a license. This law is known as the Cottage Food Exemption. Doro then began her venture with baking according to the cottage food laws as a Cottage Food Producer (CFP). Her first year she started as tier 1 and since has moved up to tier 2.

She started up in June of 2020. Her first event was the Crosby Farmers Market. She has since participated in such events in Brainerd, Baxter and Nisswa also. And through her Facebook page, she takes special requests and keeps clients up to date on events and specialty cookie platters on days like Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and Christmas.

I complimented Doro on her packaging and she mentioned how she likes to keep it simple. She feels “putting the ribbon on it signifies a gift.” And Doro wants her labels to look more homemade — a personal touch. As mentioned above, this truly is a labor of love for Doro.

And if you have the pleasure of visiting her at her events, you will see right away how kind she is and supportive to her other market vendors.

You can find Doro on Facebook as “Sugar Sweet Baking By: Doro.” And remember, kindness and love are like sugar. It makes life taste a little sweeter.
