40 Under Forty winners (from left) Brian Treitman, Hawley Harrigan, Renee King and Katherine Pittinger
Five months after graduating with a psychology degree, King went out on a whim and opened a Millbury bakery, transforming it into a gourmet cupcake shop and catering service. It is a vendor at prominent wedding venues Tower Hill Botanic Gardens and Crompton Collective. The shop received Best Bakery (2014) and Best Desserts (2014, 2015) awards from the Millbury Sutton Chronicle and Best Cupcakes (2016) by Worcester Magazine. King is 2016’s WSU Outstanding Young Alumna.
What will the title of your memoirs be? “The Queen’s Cups Rules Everything Around Me” because I have dedicated my life to my business and can rarely go anywhere without being called Queen’s Cup, haha!
What is your advice to young business people? Focus on what separates you from your competition.
I prepare for the unexpected by...going to work a lot earlier and overwhelming my mom with text messages so she can calm me down, haha!
Why do you work in Central Massachusetts? I grew up in Millbury, went to Millbury High School, coach basketball for Millbury High and own my business here. I am a true Woolie!
