PCM was fortunate enought to speak with Sophie and
Katherine about the show, about their business, and of course, about
cupcakes!
Sophie and Katherine risked their life savings and
traded high-powered careers in fashion and finance to pursue their
passion for baking and their lifelong dream of opening a bakery.
Armed with their grandmother's recipes and strong family support,
the sisters opened Georgetown Cupcake on Valentine's Day 2008. To
their surprise, the shop became an overnight sensation and now sells
more than 5,000 cupcakes a day.
DC CUPCAKES shares the recipe to Sophie and Katherine's sweet success,
following their journey as they navigate the challenges and rewards
of building a booming cupcake business. Each half-hour episode goes
beyond the frosting to capture the behind-the-scenes drama in their
fast paced, family-owned bakery. From baking and decorating thousands
of gourmet cupcakes a day, to meeting tight deadlines for discerning
clientele, to securing large projects such as fundraisers, festivals
and weddings, there is never a dull moment with this sister duo.
Mixing in their Mother ("Mommy") - who plays a big part
in running the family business - adds to the chaos and family drama.
The other staff members are as colorful as their cupcake creations
- their small workspace, sprinkled with the high volume of business,
leads to family bickering and staff tension that has more icing
flying through the air than on the cupcakes.
By
the way, PCM does NOT allow frequent Pop up ads, Pop under ads, or sneaky
spyware. Nor do we link to sites that have excessive Pop-ups, spyware
or inappropriate (all ages) material. If you find one, please let us know
and they are toast!
Also, since we don't "sell out" to those Pop-up advertisers,
and we're too proud (so far) to ask for donations, we'd like to proudly
point out some of our carefully chosen advertisers throughout the site.
They have some cool stuff that should be sitting in your room, or wrapped
like a present for a friend.
Please check 'em out!
