It was exciting [when Wheaton told her]. She's always been really creative so it didn't surprise me much," Lisa said.
Lisa said though she doesn't have a business background, she figured out appropriate prices for each batch of pops.
"It was kind of trial-and-error," Lisa said.
Sadie , who has two younger sisters, said though she pockets most of the money the business makes, she has paid her mother and other relatives for their help.
"I have had to pay my grandparents because they have picked up vases, and drove around for me and got things, but sometimes I'll also pay my mom a certain amount of money [from] that order, if it's a very tough order or if she needs to help me with it," Wheaton said. "But most of it will just go to me because I do a lot of the work."
Lisa said Wheaton is comfortable with paying people back when they assist her, though Sadie largely buys materials herself.
"Her grandparents bought the materials for the vases, and she just reimburses them for the cost [of materials,] but they'll go out just because they want to help, but she always feels obligated to pay for them, which is good," Lisa said.
Wheaton said the cake pops, whether standard or custom-made, made her quite busy at Christmastime.
"I'll definitely remember Christmas orders, because I got a lot of orders. I had a Christmas order that was for 150 [cake pops.] It was one order. One person wanted 150, and [she had] a bunch of other orders. It was nice having winter break to work on it," Wheaton said.
Wheaton said he plans to continue the business.
"Eventually I probably won't be able to do this all the time and I'll probably hand it down to my sisters," Wheaton said.
Wheaton she's found the business to be a worthwhile endeavor.
"I've learned a lot of lessons from it, [and] obviously I get money from it and I can save it for college and other things in the future I'll need money for. It's just nice to be able to have that," Wheaton said.
