About Dana
Dana Vollmer Brown, social media influencer + Sweet Shoppe Mom blogger + Simply Sweets Cake Studio Shop Owner
Dana resides in Phoenix, AZ. 40+ single mom to a 10-year-old son who loves nature, legos, and baseball. I moved to Arizona in 2006 and traded in my career as a molecular biologist for the sweet shop business. I then fell in love with blogging and social media after experiencing the power of it in successfully building the cake business. In 2012, she launched Sweet Shoppe Mom. Then in 2016 I launched a second blog, Cocktails and Cactus, focusing on my love food, local restaurants, cocktails and little bit of Phoenix mixed in.
My sweets have been featured on the Martha Stewart television show, Phoenix Magazine, Arizona Brides, and Raising Arizona Kids. As a business owner, I was featured on GoDaddy’s national real customer campaign (television commercials, social media and corporate website), Raising Arizona Kids website and KTAR radio station.
