The Vicky Cakes Story
Miss. Vicky’s recipe has been a family secret for over 40 years.
Vicky was born in Cleveland, MS and later moved to Gary, IN, and had 4 children. One day Vicky got in the kitchen and pulled out some simple ingredients to make pancakes for her kids. And, that’s when her famous recipe for “Vicky Cakes” was born! Word spread around town and soon family and friends couldn’t resist her light and fluffy pancakes.
