Meet Shuntavia Ruffin | Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Shuntavia Ruffin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shuntavia, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Running a business always comes with some sort of challenges, but you have to stay positive. I have learned that planning ahead is a must, and it’s never too early to start planning, which helps to keep your business organized. I would say that one of the greatest lessons I have learned is to always follow your own policies as it helps customers to know what to expect.

What should our readers know about your business?
I want the world to know that Delightful Treatz is a business that stands behind great customer service and strives to make sure every customer is happy with their desserts. I specialize in dipped treats and candy-covered fruits for any occasion. I treat each customer how I would like to be treated if I was receiving a service from a company, and I always make sure my presentation is great. I am most proud of my excellent customer service, and how much great feedback I have received. Presentation and taste are a top priority!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Birmingham is full of great places to eat, drink, visit, and hang out. First, I would take my best friend to eat at my sister Mara Ruffin’s restaurant, Bistro, on 19th in Bessemer, they have great food and drinks. After we finished eating, I would take her to the spa at Ross Bridge. Finally, I would take her on the Birmingham Pedal Tour to see the city at night, and have great drinks at the local bar in downtown Birmingham. And of course, I would make her some of my delicious treats to end the night right with dessert!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to recognize my sister, Shandrea. She has been very supportive. I told her I wanted to start my own business, and, from that day forward, she has been sending me any tips or videos that might help me improve my craft as well as helping me with business knowledge and decisions.
