About Yummy Cupcakes

The "complete cupcake business solution."
Yummy Cupcakes was founded by Executive Chef Tiffini Soforenko with the idea that cupcakes could be enjoyed more often than just special occasions, could be created in gourmet-style, and could be offered in a wide variety of flavors. In March 2004, Tiffini joined forces with husband Nik and mother Brogan, left the corporate world and together created Yummy Cupcakes. Back then, no one had ever heard of a "cupcake only" bakery, let alone ever visited one. Tiffini, Nik and Brogan introduced Yummy Cupcakes to the world based on a simple premise: be passionate about creating exceptional product, be passionate about guest services, and be passionate about doing things right. Now, with several years experience operating Yummy Cupcakes, we have developed a solid and successful business model for both Yummy Cupcakes bakeshop owners and Yummy Cupcakes customers. This, combined with our corporate experience in business operations, guest service, franchise operations and marketing, has led us to seek qualified people to join us in growing Yummy Cupcakes worldwide! If you have the enthusiasm, drive and commitment to growing your own empire, we want to talk with you. We are confident that owning a Yummy Cupcakes franchise is a tremendous opportunity. As a Yummy Cupcakes Owner/Operator, you'll have the benefit of walking into a ready-made system. We have spent the past few years trying, testing, and refining our business so that it's a business model that works. With your own business experience, drive and energy and our working business model, we have a winning combination!

There are three available programs:
1. Single Bakeshop Program
2. Area Development Program
3. Satellite Development Program

About WOOPS!

WOOPS! was born in 2012 from a simple idea: Why not make money by opening a pop-up shop at the bustling Holiday Shops at Bryant Park in New York City - sharing delicious, specialty macarons with shoppers? The response let the founders know they were onto something, and they wasted no time in looking into how they could build a business on the idea that macarons make wonderful and special gifts as well as a day-brightening treat for oneself.
