BabyCakes NYC Meet Futon Lingo

1.8 Million Dollar Cup Cakes Anyone?!?

“Founded in late 2005 with $85,000 in seed capital, BabyCakes NYC broke
even after only seven months. Last year, sales hit $690,000. This year,
he company will gross $1.2 million, according to McKenna, with gross
profit of $497,000 and net income of $100,000. That's pretty good, given
that, as with most food businesses, BabyCakes' markup on specific items is
low. Each cupcake, for example, costs $2 to produce and retails for $3.
Next year, with a second store open in Los Angeles, McKenna projects sales
of $1.8 million.” Inc Magazine Written By Aviva Yael
