The idea was to take the passion both women shared equally and possessed a great deal of talent in and turn it into a family owned and operated business that their kids could be a part of. Making cakes for friends and family was something the two women did frequently, but never together.
In April 2009, Janelle had a CRAZY dream that together, her and Fabiola owned and managed a family bakery. She shared her story with their children one morning while getting them ready for school, and they shared a few laughs and some excitement about it. They went on about their day and later told their mother, Fabiola all about it. Inspired and excited, Fabiola thought they would make an “unusual” yet great team. Fabiola had the bakery expreience and Janelle had the business experience, so together they had it all covered. That same week, the women decided to take their skills and put them to the test. They began brainstorming over the business possibilities, testing recipes, naming flavors and all kinds of other crazy stuff! The kids, (Jasmyn, Kaylah and Jordan), named them “The Cake Mamas”. They designed business cards, created a website and developed an online marketing strategy to jump start their own bakery business, which would focus on custom/specialty cakes.
Within a week, word of mouth hit the streets, and the unlikely pair began catering to the local community for all special “treat” needs. School functions for their kids, the girls’ Doctor’s office, local real estate agents, playgroup moms, hair salons, local businesses all became customers and big FANS of the women’s cakes!
Today, after only 10 months of business, The Cake Mamas have made over 250 gorgeous cakes, gained close to 1,000 Fans/followers on Facebook and Twitter, have added celebrity clients to their roster, and remain booked solid every weekend since April 2009!
"Our goal is to open a neighborhood bakery that fills a void in the local area. We want the local community members know our story, taste our cakes, and then TELL EVERYONE THEY KNOW! It’s kind of like encouraging the gossip, but putting the most positive spin possible on it! ;) Our mission is to keep the cakes affordable, but still offer a differentiated design and taste that is only a result of utilizing the finest quality ingredients and the most talented cake decorators".
