With technical assistance and a small business loan, Jerrie was able to realize her dream of starting her own business providing cake decorating parties for kids...

"NMI's guidance, patience and endless support have made teaching my craft of cake decorating not just a dream, but a reality. From day one to the present, the personal one-on-one gives me peace of mind that I have access to as much knowledge as I'm willing to learn, in every aspect of business, so I can be successful. I can't thank them enough." - Jerrie Mergan of Little Chefs
