FORT WAYNE — Jazmin Dambra is no stranger to entrepreneurship, starting her own small business at age 15 during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Jazz’s Sugar & Spice, located at 6714 Hunterdon Cove, is a baking studio with a soft opening. February 14.
D’Ambra started making bread during the pandemic, primarily for family, friends and healthcare workers at her mother’s workplace.
“Seeing the joy my sweets brought to others inspired me to start this journey,” D’Ambra said. “It was a great way to share my passion for creating delicious treats.”
She then began selling cookies, cupcakes, pies, breads, brownies, and cakes at farmers markets. The feedback and success of those efforts led to this day and the opening of her baking studio.
“Today is truly a dream come true day for me. And I still have goals that I want to achieve,” she said.
The business is family-owned, with her mother, Jennifer Soto, helping run it. She said: “Words cannot express how proud I am of Jazmin. This is her dream coming true and I would like to help her in any way I can to keep her dream alive.” Masu.”
