The Stained Glass Lady
The Stained Glass Lady St. Cloud
The Stained Glass Lady, owned by Amber, is right in Downtown St. Cloud. Amber's journey into the world of stained glass began with a class she took on the craft, which blossomed into a desire to share her love for this art with others. For 13 years, her store has not only been a place where beautiful stained-glass pieces are created and displayed but also a vibrant community hub where anyone can learn to make their own stained-glass piece. Though her classes are held every Saturday, Amber has introduced countless individuals to the joys of stained glass making, turning many into avid enthusiasts eager to return and create more.
Amber’s friendly Mastiffs will greet locals and visitors as they enter the store and for a small fee they can create their own stained-glass piece for pick up at a future date. She is a dedicated volunteer for the Mastiff Rescue of Florida, helping to socialize rescue dogs within the welcoming environment of her store.
Sweet Spot Snoballs
Sweet Spot Snoballs St. Cloud
Experience a sweet escape in Downtown St. Cloud at Sweet Spot Snoballs, where nostalgia and flavor blend to create unforgettable treats. Founded in 2017 by Davi, a visionary entrepreneur and devoted mother of four, this delightful spot draws inspiration from the vibrant spirit of New Orleans-style snowballs. Davi's journey from a stay-at-home mom to a business owner began with a deeply personal memory: a trip with her ailing father, during which he found joy in a snowball treat each night. This experience motivated her to share the simple happiness of a snowball with others.
Today, Sweet Spot Snoballs is renowned for its wide array of sweet treats, including candied apples, sundaes, soda floats, egg creams, and, of course, their signature snoballs adorned with an assortment of syrups and toppings. After a major shop expansion in 2024, guests now can add ice cream or cheesecake to their snowball to really indulge. The cheesecake filling with marshmallow syrup and cookie crumbles truly tastes like an Oreo Cheesecake.
The shop has become a destination for visitors across county lines, eager to indulge in its sweet concoctions. Davi has created a space that not only pays homage to cherished memories but also builds new ones with every treat served.
These establishments, each with their unique offerings — from fashion and sweet treats to artful creations — demonstrate the power of female entrepreneurship and the positive impact it has on our local culture and economy of St. Cloud.
