"Aides to Rep. Akin contemplate sweet idea," Thehill.com
She has the idea, he has the business plan, and together they could create the city’s next cupcake bakery.
But the woman behind the idea, Kate Mersman, first has to tackle her day job: working for the office of Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), where she recently climbed from legislative aide to legislative assistant.
She says running a bakery that specializes in cupcakes is more than a lofty dream; it is a 15-year plan.
While she and her roommate have a logo already designed — a little cupcake with “Katie and Kate’s cupcakery” beneath it — there is one small hitch.
“We don’t have any recipes yet, but we’ve got some ideas,” said the 25-year-old Mersman, who has worked in the Missouri congressman’s office for almost four years.
Mersman’s possible future partner is her co-worker Gene Diamond, who moved from staff assistant to legislative aide in Akin’s office this month and took on some of Mersman’s policy responsibilities, such as housing and Social Security.
