Dominique Shawn Norwood from South Orange-Maplewood, New Jersey, is a college student at William Paterson University, but she is also the CEO and Founder of Dom's Dessert Candles. Her company produces candles that look like delicious desserts - with delicious flavors that vary from strawberry shortcake to apple pie to banana cheesecake to peach cobbler and many more. Dominique's idea to sell her products right outside the local town hall turned out to be a great one. Now, she regularly vends at fairs and other events. She has also found a lot of success selling her candles online on Etsy.com.
