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.

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.

    One other thing is that an online business administration course is designed for individuals to be able to easily proceed to bachelor degree courses. The Ninety credit certification meets the other bachelor diploma requirements then when you earn the associate of arts in BA online, you should have access to the most recent technologies on this field. Several reasons why students are able to get their associate degree in business is because they are interested in this area and want to obtain the general instruction necessary prior to jumping in a bachelor college diploma program. Thanks alot : ) for the tips you provide inside your blog.

    One more thing. I believe that there are several travel insurance web sites of respected companies than enable you to enter a trip details and find you the rates. You can also purchase this international travel insurance policy on the internet by using your current credit card. All you need to do is to enter the travel details and you can view the plans side-by-side. Only find the program that suits your financial allowance and needs and use your bank credit card to buy that. Travel insurance online is a good way to take a look for a trustworthy company for international holiday insurance. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
