Lori Jacobs and Dana Iliev met while working at Grumpy's, a deli restaurant in Toledo. After living in New York City, Jacobs did not like the gourmet cupcake shops found in the city but thought that a cupcake shop would be a good addition in Toledo. Agreeing with Jacobs, the two bought a cupcake book, started making recipes, and developed their own business plan. Before opening the shop, the two sold cupcakes out of Iliev's kitchen, neither one having any formal training. In order to get publicity for the new business, Jacobs and Iliev appeared on the radio, on blogs, and delivered cupcake samples and menus to high end hair salons and other establishments.
