Dylan’s Business

My business is making homemade sweet treats. I’ve been running Dylan Delicious Delights for two years now.

Before I met Many Rivers, I was running the business as best as I could. I still work in the hospitality field. I found Many Rivers on Facebook and sent an enquiry earlier this year. I wanted to go into business to show people what I can make.

Working with Many Rivers

I received business management and budget help. The most useful support was help promoting my business and help with stock buying.

I don’t have any employees. My mum helps me sometimes, plus support workers.

Biggest Challenge

Telling people about the ingredients in my goods.

Biggest Success

Seeing people happy with my products and coming back as returning customers, plus getting new orders. One of my biggest orders was 100 cookies in one day.

Biggest Change

Having more time with Grandma.

Future Goals

To keep going and keep making people happy.

Many Rivers would like to thank Dylan for sharing his inspiring business journey with us. From market stalls to community events and catering orders, Dylan’s Delicious Delights continues to grow with strong community support. Dylan’s popular range includes:

Cute Cookies (shortbread-style)
Berry Bliss Balls (Vegan)
Yum Yum Balls (Dylan’s personal favourite to make)
Lemon Coconut Slice (Gluten Free)

Since sharing his story, Dylan has also received new private orders, including red velvet cupcakes, and Belvedere Deli sells his Yum Yum Balls to regular customers. Dylan’s gluten-free lemon slice is also now available at Bloom café in Frankston and the Happiness First Café in Mornington Library – where Dylan works under the supported employment program.
