GORHAM — Cakes By Babbs, LLC, owned by Bath native Barbara Smith, was recently chosen as a winner in the American Small Business Championship hosted by SCORE and supported by Sam’s Club.
The championship awarded the title to 103 small businesses, with each receiving a $1,000 Sam’s Club gift card, an all-expense-paid trip to a regional training event, SCORE mentoring for one year and publicity throughout the year.
Cakes By Babbs earned the title by submitting an online application answering the question “What dream would you be able to achieve if you were to win this championship?” Nominations which garnered at least 100 votes were then presented to a judging panel of small business experts who determined the 103 winners.
“We are so honored to receive this recognition. We would not have been able to do this without our loyal customers,” said Smith.
Cakes By Babbs is now eligible to win an additional $25,000 grand prize by being named grand champion. A judging panel will select one grand champion this summer.
