Founded by Ruby Marks and Xaeviah Pinnix

by Zyania Garcia Hernández

How it started

Ruby and Xeaviah became friends through Church and school. They enjoyed multiple common things, but focused on one: They both liked baking. They liked the idea of making others happy with their natural talents and sharing sweets with each person.  They started off with selling their food at their church, and their sales immediately got attention from its comforting taste. Their business provides both food and happiness to many.

The desserts are homemade, made a few hours before selling. Made with fresh ingredients, the pastries are nice and sweet.

Location

The desserts are sold in the school or at  Moores Chapel Baptist Church located in Saxapahaw, NC.

The Daily Trot asked questions directly to both Ruby and Xeaviah to find out more about their venture.

How does purchasing work?

We do not exactly have a menu. We like our customers to be creative with their orders, and so they have lots of options. If customers are not sure, we always have some ideas ready!

Are there any recommendations, or fan favorites?

The number one thing bought is S’more cookies ( $2 a cookie). They usually sell out rather quickly when they are not for any specific customer, because of how much they are loved.

I ( Ruby) personally like the S’more cookies, Red velvet oreo cheesecake, and Cookie fries since they are convenient when dipping them in dessert dip or milk!

How did you come up with the name?

We sat down for about two hours figuring out a name! But then suddenly, Xaeviah had an idea that was perfect: Comfort Sweets! It was a catchy name not taken, and food brings comfort. It was perfect.

What is the goal of your business? 

“We don’t only care about earning money, but we care about spreading love. Our goal is to make our sweets bring joy and comfort to our customers' hearts!”
