Baker Dream Dream, 14 years old; Now the youngest food seller in the American shopping center

Enyn Esparza called the shopping center at the age of 11, presenting his idea for cake pops.

Bloomington, Minnesota – It’s one thing to call the Mall of America with a sales argument. It is another when a pre -adolescent leaves vocal messaging.

“It leaves you speechless,” explains Barb Ross-Hayes, a food and drinks in MOA. “How wild is it a 11-year-old girl calls the Mall of America to see if she can sell her product here.”

Three years later, the MOA presented the cakes of Edyn Esparza in Nickelodeon Universe, the interior amusement park of the shopping center.

The 14 -year -old baker becomes the youngest food seller in the shopping center.

“I was a bit intimidated,” said Eyn about the approval process. “I just felt like I had the determination of doing it.”

Before Eden obtained approval, she made two presentations in person to the management of the MOA.


To help him comply with the laws on food security, Edyn’s parents helped his space to rent in a commercial kitchen.

She also had to pass a test to obtain her state food production license.

“I studied for three hours a day for two weeks in a row,” explains Edyn.

She passed the home test, under the close supervision of an online Proctor, which asked to see Edyn’s driving license.

His mother, Sharon Esparza, told his daughter to “tell them that you are only 13 years old”.

Eyn presented his 7th identity school

“And she passed it,” said Edyn’s mother proudly.

It was not the first time that Edyn has been showing the creativity of his cuisine.

At the age of 3, she spent excessive time in a game kitchen.

At 5, she made her own videos of cooking shows.

At 8 years old, Edyn collated his house cupcakes in a trolley at a car dealer.

“We were buying a car, and she thought, an excellent opportunity,” said her mother. “She went to each cabin.”

But, then, Eyn grew up with a good mentor.

In 2007, Edyn’s older brother Ethan was presented in a Land of 10,000 floors segment while the 12-year-old lemonade, dressed in a black suit and a tie, along the 50th lively street in the southwest of Minneapolis.

Today, Ethan has a company in the real estate field.

“I want to be like him, I want to be an entrepreneur,” explains Edyn.


Enrico Esparza, Edyn’s father, says that his children share a similar campaign.

“We have always been the type of people who tell our children, if there is something you want to pursue, we will do everything we can to support you,” explains Enrico.

Supporting Edyn means that her parents recently spent an unforeseen Saturday to roll 600 dough balls in the rented kitchen of their daughter, because her cakes were sold faster than the shopping center.


Edyn’s mother increases her shoulders.

“Cuddles and good grades are his payment method,” explains Sharon.

Edyn admits having never made cake before leaving his first phone message to the shopping center.

“I was like, I think I could do it,” she said.

Eyny taught with a few online videos and lots of trials and errors.

In February, the shopping center introduced three of Edyn’s cakes, frosted in green on the theme, orange and purple on the theme of Nickelodeon.


At the price of $ 3.50 each and sold in Croaster Café racing from the amusement park, the Edyn cake pops were an instant success.

“I could work for her one day, honestly, I am kidding with her on this subject,” says Barb.

Edyn quickly underlines that she would not be in this position without the direction of Barb.

“Without her reminding me, none of this would have happened,” said Eyn, taking an affectionate look at the food director.

“I’m so proud of you,” says Barb in return.
