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

Hi Shannon, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
Kupkake Kouture Charlotte contributes to the community by providing freshly baked goods, supporting other locally owned small businesses and suppliers, creating job opportunities, and actively participating in local events and charities. We participate a few times each year in feeding the homeless and making donations to a non-profit named Block Love Charlotte.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My professional journey is marked by a commendable blend of resilience, dedication, and a keen ability to adapt. My commitment to excellence and the capacity to navigate challenges have been key drivers in my success. Furthermore, my adeptness at fostering meaningful connections and collaborative efforts has not only enriched my career but also positively impacted those around me. Embracing a proactive approach, I have displayed a consistent eagerness to learn and evolve, making me a valuable asset in my field.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were exploring Charlotte (assuming she doesn’t live here already, lol), I’d drop everything to curate an extraordinary day.

First stop would be NuImage Skin & Body Studio for indulgent facials, mani/pedi’s, and more.

As Charlotte is ever-evolving, we’d embark on a city tour, with me playing the role of a tourist, eager to discover new gems.

Next, we’d unwind at Cinergy movie theater, enjoying both a delectable meal and a captivating film. For some retail therapy, Charlotte Premium Outlets or Concord Mills would be on our itinerary.

To cap off the day, we’d savor an exquisite dinner at STK, followed by drinks at a local bar for the perfect finale

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?
In all aspects of my life, both personal and professional, I attribute my successes to God. My late mother, who instilled wisdom in me, deserves a heartfelt thank you (RIP mommy). My husband and children, enduring late nights and early mornings without complaint, are my pillars of support. A special acknowledgment goes to my best friend, a constant listening ear during challenging times. Lastly, immense gratitude to my exceptional Brand Ambassadors who champion my brand as their own. I am forever thankful for these incredible women shaping the success of my business.
