A huge thank you to all of my customers and supporters for voting Simply Sweet Cheesecake the Best of The Globe 2019!

My name is Megan, the owner and founder of Simply Sweet Cheesecake in Windom, MN. In my spare time, I have always enjoyed baking cheesecake for any holiday, corporate event and family get-togethers. My husband is my biggest fan and has urged me for many years to sell my cheesecake as a hobby. In February of 2014, while home on maternity leave with our youngest daughter, I decided that I was going to do just that. I began by creating a name for my favorite hobby – Simply Sweet Cheesecake. From that point, and a lot of hard rewarding work, it has escalated into a blooming business and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with the world!

Thank you for voting for Johnson Jewelry in this year’s Best Of The Globe!
