Meet Kayla Simon

 

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kayla Simon. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kayla below.

Hi Kayla, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

It all started when I was planning a baby shower and fell down the Pinterest rabbit hole, mesmerized by the beautifully decorated treats. Determined to recreate those picture-perfect sweets, I gave it a shot and to my surprise, I loved every part of the process. What started as a fun challenge quickly turned into a passion, and before I knew it, I was experimenting with gourmet treats, pushing myself to perfect every detail. Seeing the joy on people’s faces when they bit into something I made was addictive, and that’s when I realized—this wasn’t just a hobby. It was my purpose. Creating treats isn’t just about sugar and chocolate; it’s about making moments special, adding a little sparkle to celebrations, and turning simple desserts into unforgettable experiences.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

Glitter Me Treats started with a simple love for creating beautiful, Pinterest-inspired desserts and quickly grew into a full-blown passion for gourmet treats. What began as a personal project for a baby shower turned into a business dedicated to making every occasion a little sweeter. At Glitter Me Treats, we specialize in customized, hand-decorated treats, from gourmet cookies and chocolate-covered Oreos to stunning dessert bars for corporate events, parties, and holidays. We believe that every treat should be as unique as the celebration itself, which is why we put so much care into every detail, whether it’s a personalized design, a fun themed set, or an elegant, glittery finish. Our goal is simple: to turn ordinary desserts into edible works of art that bring joy, excitement, and a little sparkle to every bite.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

At Glitter Me Treats, three qualities have been the most impactful in our journey: creativity, perseverance, and attention to detail.

1. Creativity – From designing custom themed treats to experimenting with flavors, creativity is at the heart of what we do. Early on, we spent hours on Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration, but the real growth came from pushing ourselves to try new techniques and put our own spin on designs. Our advice? Don’t be afraid to step outside the box. Take risks, practice new methods, and let your personality shine in your work.

2. Perseverance – The road to perfecting gourmet treats isn’t easy. There were plenty of failed batches, melted chocolate disasters, and moments of frustration, but persistence made all the difference. For those starting out, don’t let mistakes discourage you. Every failed attempt is a lesson, and with each one, you get better. Keep going, stay patient, and trust that with time, your skills will grow.

3. Attention to Detail – The little things matter, from flawless icing to perfect packaging. Customers don’t just buy treats; they buy an experience. The best way to develop this skill is to slow down and focus on the quality of your work. Watch tutorials, invest in the right tools, and always ask yourself, “How can I make this even better?”

For anyone just starting, the key is to stay passionate, keep learning, and never settle for “good enough.” Mastering your craft takes time, but every order, every challenge, and every success will shape you into the expert you’re meant to be.

Is there a particular challenge you are currently facing?

One of the biggest challenges I had to overcome was not letting a bigger brand take credit for my hard work. As a small business owner, I poured my heart into every treat I created, from brainstorming unique designs to perfecting my recipes. But there were times when larger companies or more established businesses would try to replicate my ideas or overshadow my work simply because they had a bigger platform. It was frustrating, but instead of letting it defeat me, I used it as fuel to push even harder. I focused on what made Glitter Me Treats special quality, customization, and a personal touch that no big brand could replicate. I learned to protect my work, stand my ground, and remind myself that no one could take away the passion and effort I put into building my brand from the ground up.
