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.

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.

    I wish to show some thanks to this writer for rescuing me from this particular crisis. Right after looking out throughout the the net and finding strategies that were not beneficial, I thought my life was well over. Being alive devoid of the answers to the difficulties you’ve resolved through the review is a serious case, and the ones which could have adversely affected my career if I had not noticed your web blog. Your expertise and kindness in taking care of almost everything was invaluable. I’m not sure what I would have done if I had not encountered such a solution like this. I can also now look forward to my future. Thanks very much for the expert and result oriented help. I won’t be reluctant to propose your web page to anybody who needs to have tips about this area.

    I’ve been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours today, yet I never found any fascinating article like yours. It is pretty price enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the internet will probably be a lot more useful than ever before. “Nothing will come of nothing.” by William Shakespeare.
