About The Cake Girl

- Proven Media Power & Brand Recognition: Nationally featured brand with strong marketing and media reach - Scalable model with low food costs and high demand products - Founded by Celebrity Chef Kristina Lavallee, an award-winning cake designer and recognized industry leader

The Cake Girl is a nationally recognized bakery brand specializing in high-end custom cakes, gourmet mini cupcakes, and craveable desserts that bring joy to every celebration. Founded by celebrity cake designer Kristina Lavallee, The Cake Girl has been featured on The Today Show, Telemundo, Entrepreneur Magazine, and more - building a loyal following and a reputation for excellence. The business began as a food truck and grew into a thriving brick-and-mortar bakery with a cult-like customer base, strong social media presence, and a proven model that blends artistry, quality, and experience. Franchisees benefit from streamlined systems, comprehensive training, strong unit economics, and a brand that stands out in a crowded marketplace. The Cake Girl is now expanding across the U.S., offering flexible formats, including bakery retail stores and potential satellite locations. With low food costs, strong margins, multiple revenue streams (including local and national shipping of signature Crave’n Cups), and a powerful media and marketing engine behind the brand, The Cake Girl offers a sweet opportunity to grow with a modern dessert concept that delivers both joy and results.
