Lady D's Naked Treats & Gourmet Eats

What goes into making Lady D's Naked Treats?  A LOT of PASSION & a LOT of TIME!!!!  There are SEVEN steps to creating each one.  They are a Labor of Love & so worth every single step that's involved in order to achieve the same end result every single time which is: A Truffle that "Tantalizes Your Taste Buds" yet leaves you satisfied looking forward to the next one :)  Each Truffle is handmade using ONLY the finest dried fruits, various nuts, liqueur's  & MY Secret Blend of Cacao Chocolate & Spices.  I currently have 33 varieties & more to come.  They are Vegan friendly & a MUCH healthier alternative to the traditional full of sugar, additives & preservatives that most truffles on the market today offer.   No more sugar highs & lows.  Now you can have "ALL the Indulgence With OUT the Guilt" & know that you are eating something that is Natural & Good for you & your family.  My oldest grandson thinks they ROCK!  They are the perfect mid morning/afternoon school snack for the kids.  They are sure to impress your dinner guest when they see & taste Lady D's Naked Treats placed  down in front of them...remember to compliment them with your favorite wine, champagne or espresso. 

As I mentioned in my video I am ready to go public in a very major way due to my recent procurement opportunity but I need your help & I'm on a TIGHT deadline to ensure that these Truffle's are ordered, created & delivered to that distribution center & that I am FULLY capable & in compliance with their request & procedures for procurement!  That's where you come in :)

The start up cost for selling my Naked Treats for resale is quite expense & in my case requires a permanent manufacturing space, whether leased or owned.  I am unable to just go out & rent a commercial kitchen for a few hours a week :(  They are NOT equipped to meet my particular needs as well as you can't even imagine the muscles needed to transport my product supplies & my own special equipment back & forth just to make them & I'm NOT physically capable of doing that myself due to the disabilities sustained from the wreck I was in. :(  Not to mention the required refrigerator space & stainless steel table space they need for the 7 steps of creation.  It just wouldn't work :(  By having a home for Lady D's Naked Treats I will be able to get the "Right" commercial equipment necessary to not only create these handmade Gourmet  NAKED Treats but I will also be able to purchase the right refrigeration system, supplies & equipment needed to ensure their quality & freshness as well as the ability to "package, store & delivery" in a professional & timely manner to our distribution center.

Speaking of delivery....Please keep this in mind--->WE need a LITTLE Lady D's Naked Treats Truck to delivery in the State of Arizona that is retrofitted with a refrigeration system & painted with our Logo......Beep-Beep (btw, that's not the logo, that's the sound you might hear from time to time when its heading down the freeway ;)  I have an estimate of $14,800 just in case anyone wants to ADD that to their Pledge ;);)

      My "DREAM" Funding Goal is: $350,000

I know you're thinking "what the heck is she thinking"????  Well, let me tell you!  I have done A LOT of research for buildings in Payson, AZ.  (leasing &/or buying) & bottom line is:  If I raise this amount Lady D's Naked Treats & Gourmet Eats OWNS the building.....this is HUGE!!!!  Why you say? Well, we will not only have a permanent home for Lady D's Naked Treats & Gourmet Eats but we will NOT have to pay a percentage of our sales aka Cams to the buildings owner as a retail tenant (remember back of bldg. MFG's/front is retail), "it's common practice" & is anywhere from 5-15%.  I won't be lining the pockets of a landlord, instead I'm able to keep my prices affordable & those negotiated percentages are better served by "giving back to my community".  NOT that I have anything against  that practice of business...It is what it is.

Another wonderful thing about owning a building is I will also be able to build it out with the MFG. space that's conducive to the MFG of these Naked Treats in the back & create a Retail Store Front/Bistro for everyone to come in to purchase, say hi, grab an affordable Gourmet bite to eat where they can also enjoy featured AZ. Artist & Musicians, a positive & kind environment & NOT put those equity improvements in someone else's bldg/bank account. It will be a place where EVERYONE feels welcome & trust me the staff & I WILL know your name :)  Lady D's will be able to buy ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING needed & it will be designed specifically for the MFG. of these Gourmet Truffles & be able to take the truffles Nationwide!!!!!   If we're gonna do it might as well go ALL the way & do it "RIGHT" out the gate :)
