SUMMARY: **Summary (100 words):**
In this week’s *Behind the Business: Sugar Tribe Sweets and Events*, what began as a hobby for Ocean Springs’ Jennifer Mayfield has grown into a flourishing bakery and event business. Inspired by a cake she made for her nephew’s birthday, Mayfield launched Sugar Tribe through social media. Self-taught via YouTube and trial and error, she expanded from home baking to two storefronts. Sugar Tribe now offers custom cakes, themed desserts, brownies, cinnamon rolls, king cakes, and event services including linens and decor. Though cakes are her specialty, Mayfield’s creativity drives her growing success—alongside owning an urgent care clinic.
