My Cup Cake World

Bakery In Florida: In 2009, founder of Cupcake World, Iris Casanova, and her cupcake-obsessed daughter,

Sam, signed up for cake decorating classes at their local arts and crafts store. Week by week, Iris fell

in love with the art of piping and decorating and realized that this would be more than a hobby (Sam, on

the other hand, preferred to taste-test). Once she learned the basic skills, she realized she had to

master them, as she has always been her own fiercest competition. She began practicing at home, creating

cupcake recipes for her three children, the official taste-testers, and posting her creations on her

personal social media outlets. It wasn’t long before her friends and family started placing orders and

challenging Iris with extravagant requests, none of which she ever turned down
