A New Cupcake Concept Comes to DC

When Tiffany Lightfoot showed up to a party with a lemon bundt cake from her grandmother’s recipe, she never imagined that her family recipe would inspire her to open her own bakery.

With encouragement from family and friends Tiffany decided to leave her day job and devote all of her time to My Cake Theory. After the third day of baking full time, Tiffany was booked out for the entire month. This let her know she had made the right decision.

Going into business for herself, there was a learning curve. Tiffany, like many new entrepreneurs, did not know how to price her edible artwork. In fact, even though she had regular customers, Tiffany did not realize her true value until about three years after starting her business.

After months of working on My Cake Theory full time, Tiffany felt she needed more space to bake. On a quest for a space Tiffany tried several locations, but once she stepped into the Capitol Hill location, she knew she had found the right place. Shortly after viewing the space, the pandemic hit the DC area. Fortunately, Tiffany was able to negotiate with her lessor to come to reasonable accommodations which would allow her to secure the location for her business. Despite city services having been delayed, My Cake Theory will be opening this fall.

Tiffany has many loyal customers in the DC area that rave about her custom designed cakes. So much so that the word about Tiffany’s cakes has even reached celebrities. Tiffany has been commissioned to create cakes for local, as well as nationally known, celebrities.

Tiffany’s bakery, My Cake Theory, will offer a create your own cupcake concept. You’ll have the opportunity to select your base cake flavor, frosting, and a countless variety of toppings. This “flavors to frills” concept gives everyone the freedom to create a unique treat. For all of My Cake Theory’s long time customers, you will be able to order your custom cakes in store, or grab a prepared cake on the go.

My Cake Theory is a Black Woman-owned business. The bakery will open on Capitol Hill at Eastern Market’s Main Street located at 325 7th St. SE in February 2021.

    Good day! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I
    could get a captcha plugin for my comment form?
    I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one?

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell
    and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
    placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a
    hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!

    LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to
    tell someone!

    Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.

    First of all I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Thank you!|

    Hey would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re using?
    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different browsers and
    I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most.
    Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a honest price?

    My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong
    none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of
    websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
    I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
