Flores sells her icy products at local grocery stores, at the farmers market and she also does catering. She started her business in 2010, but her love for cold treats dates back to the 1970s at her parents' paleteria, or ice cream, store in Huntington Park.
"I worked there as a kid. It was a family-run business. Years later, I came back sort of to my roots and started my own offshoot of that," said Flores.
Sno Con Amor brings back the nostalgic feeling of eating raspados and bolis. But Flores said she wanted to share it in a unique way by creating a healthier option.

"100% natural. I am using fresh fruit, berries and herb extract," said Flores.
Flores is in a group of diverse women business owners who are part of the Super Bowl event. She said catering at the after-party is a way of honoring her parents.
"That kind of chokes me up a little bit because they're no longer here," said Flores. "I am 100% positive they would be so excited."
