In
2004 Stephen Elliott and his sisters Lucy and Maggie opened a small bakery in
the centre of Athens named «CAKE». A shop that produced and sold
American-style cakes.
Since their childhood the siblings grew up baking, tasting and above all,enjoying
amazing cakes from family recipes! Ranging from their notorious carrot cake
to mouth watering chocolate fudge and from NY cheesecake to cupcakes.
By the late 90's there were thoughts of opening a bakery,
Cake shop that looked similar to the kitchen they grew up in. A checker tiled floor, wood
shelving with
recipe books, a marble sink and tops, home-made art on the walls!
Α few years later, on March 8 2004, just a few months before the Athens
Olympics, the first tiny «CAKE Kolonaki» -29 square meters large- opened its
door. The first and most challenging task was to familiarize the
general public with the new (for Athens) authentic flavors.
Within a short time «CAKE Kolonaki» was a success. With the
unique recipes, the high quality production process and friendly service,
the Elliott's were able to make their cakes well known.
Within a year, people flocked-in from all corners of Athens, falling in love
with the «CAKE» tastes and demanding shops closer by! Initial expansion
efforts took place during 2006 where a second shop opened in the northern
suburbs of Halandri-Psyhiko.
By 2008 «CAKE», began developing its network through franchising while
enriching its Cake line, introducing savoury tastes and a full range of espresso
brewed drinks. Shops opened in many areas of
Athens. From Piraeus to Voula and from Nea Smyrni to Nea Erithrea.
Despite the difficulties of the Greek financial crisis, the future is looked upon
with great optimism.
Proud of all franchise partners and providers, the
company's goals is to maintain product and service quality, expand and
introduce new cake tastes and further develop the network in Greece and
abroad.
