14 years ago today, we opened the doors to our very first storefront on the corner of 2nd and Main!

A lot has changed since that day, the biggest being the move to our new home on 1st and Locust. But one thing that hasn't changed is how thankful we are for the amazing people who have supported us along the way. We've been blessed with the best employees, customers, neighbors, families, and friends over the past 14 years, and we couldn't have done it without you all.

Looking back, we've learned quite a few things along the way. On our 1 year anniversary, we decided to sell cupcakes for $1. We completely underestimated how many people would show up. We had a line around the building, sold out of i think 500+ cupcakes in less than an hour and had to temporarily close the doors. In tears, I called in reinforcements. Including my sister, who was pregnant and past her due date. She ended up in the back scooping cupcakes for hours. A couple of our day 1 customers saw that we were in over our heads and brought us coffee and snacks to keep us going. It was stressful, exhausting and one of those days we will never forget...although sometimes I wish I could.

14 years later, we're still here, still learning, still baking, and still thankful for all of you who have been and will be a part of our story.

Thank you for supporting our bakery, our family, and our small business all these years. Here's to 14 years of Candle Ready Cakes!
