The Vicky Cakes Story
Miss. Vicky’s recipe has been a family secret for over 45 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.
It happened in the kitchen on Thanksgiving morning in 2013.
Christian is Vicky’s youngest daughter. Vicky cooked breakfast for the family in 2013 and Cortney immediately fell in love with her pancakes. He suggested they start selling it! Six years later, Christian and Cortney launched Vicky Cakes on Mother’s Day as a historical gesture to honor Vicky for her sacrifice as a mother.
Six years later, Christian and Cortney made “Vicky Cakes” a reality.
After six years of watching Shark Tank and being inspired by all of the small family businesses that make it big, Christian and Cortney finally decided to create a success story of their own.
The power couple officially launched Vicky Cakes on Mother’s Day of 2019 as a historical gesture to honor Vicky for her sacrifice as a mother. And, the company quickly became a household name, being featured by nearly every major media outlet in the country.
