These ladies give a whole new meaning to family fun.... they are SISTER-IN-LAWS as their husbands are brothers.... yea, for real !!!!! LOL
Let's go back and see a little of the story as these gals took home the bacon.... I mean the cake... I mean the cupcake at CUPCAKE WARS ! Winners of the show a few years back.... here is how it started....
First they were in the cleaning business...then they were in the candle business...then they were pregnant and stay at home Moms watching the food network ! So one day, they made cupcakes for a bake sale and the rest is history. At first, it started out as a hobby... their big break came, as they told me, when they were hired to cater an event. This wasn't just any old event either...it was a send off party for the Bat Mobile ! Yep, a party before the Bat Mobile was shipped off to L.A. to be shot for the movie THE DARK KNIGHT. Many customers sent in nice comments on the cupcakes and before they knew it, the CW Network contacted them to apply for CUPCAKE WARS.
At first, the girls took it as a joke...3 days later they did a skype interview for the show and then found themselves ON the show ! When the limo came to pick them up, they realized this was no joke! Even better when they came home with the grand prize !
Today, they have an amazing reputation and live up to that with amazing cupcakes !
They love the camaraderie the best . "It's like our 2nd family", they said. They compared themselves to the familiarity of the show "Cheers"....." Where everybody knows your name....."
Let me tell you, Jac and Gina are a hoot ! Get over there if you are in the area...and tell them Ava sent you ! You will love the cupcakes. You can relax and grab a cup of "Joe" with your cup of cake in the spacious seating area that looks out onto downtown Egg Harbor City....
If you don't catch Jac and Gina there, you can catch Michelle James, their manager and all around right hand....
I even loved the way the place was decorated for the holidays and various themes.....
Maybe the popular Red Velvet is your cupcake of choice.......
