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.

    Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established
    blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure
    things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting
    up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions?
    Thank you

    I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across
    a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you’ve
    hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy I stumbled across this during my search for something regarding
    this.
