ABOUT
Hi my name is Justin Gonzalez, I graduated from Star Career Academy on 14th street in New York City on July 9, 2014. I began my Cheesecake business while I was in school after I got good reviews from Chef's and students in my school's Dessert Buffet. I started off baking and selling cupcake size cheesecakes with candy, cereal and fruit toppings such as Fruity pebbles, Cap'n Crunch, Reese's pieces, M&M's, Strawberries and Cherries.then i started to bake the cheesecakes in mason jars so the people can have these delicious desserts on the go. As I continued to deliver and promote my business on social media i started getting noticed and getting invited to radio shows, involved with
the newspaper/magazines and events involving celebrities, New York Knicks with Anthony Dunahue & Edgar Burgos, Hoops 4 all for Austism and Cancer, H20's Ballin4Peace charity sport's games,Uncle Mike's Spoons & Forks Company, Kroy Wen clothing company plus many more to come. My goal is to raise enough money or have someone help me invest in a Food truck so i can travel to each state and spread my business. Also i would like to have a store in NYC, Miami, Chicago, LA, Las Vegas and Texas.
