celebrating the moms building something amazingSupporting Local Mompreneurs
Every Thursday at 8 AM CST, we shine a spotlight on an incredible mom-owned business in Houston and beyond — sharing their story, their passion, and exclusive offers just for The Mom Life community.
Meet the Mompreneur
My name is Araceli, and I make cakes and treat tables. I’m also looking to expand my business into party decorations too!
What Inspired Chelly’s Sweet Co
I started making cakes in 2020 when Covid started. It was my daughter’s birthday and I didn’t know how the bakeries were operating, so I got on YouTube, watched many tutorials, and made her cake! It was a colorful vanilla cake with trolls. I also made her a balloon arch.

Biggest Challenge as a Mom & Business Owner
The biggest challenge I believe is getting out there more. Since my kids have a busy schedule and I also work full-time, I feel unseen sometimes, and since I have to pass up pop-up events, I feel like I don’t get to put my business out there as much as I’d like to.
Her Advice to Other Moms
“Go for it! Don’t let fear stop you from finding something for yourself. Change is always good and can be for the best. A small business can bring you big opportunities and an income while being close to your babies ❤️”
