Having opened its first-ever store in San Diego County over a decade ago, in September 2010, Little Cakes Kitchen will celebrate another milestone when it opens yet another Vista location in August 2022. In addition, Little Cakes Kitchen is extremely proud to simultaneously announce that it is the first ever Frontline Friendly℠ Certified company, being accredited by the exciting, local start-up, Frontline Careers.
Little Cakes has gained legions of fans in Northern San Diego County since launching in 2010. The family-owned and operated bakery specializes in an eclectic array of gourmet cupcakes, most featuring their signature Italian buttercream frosting.
The new location will feature, of course, cupcakes with flavors including such favorites as Red Velvet, Chocolate Toffee and Lemon Berry as well as its Top Seller that helped Little Cakes become a repeat Food Network “Cupcake Wars” winner: The Pearl, a sweet almond cake filled with Bavarian cream topped with champagne Italian buttercream and edible pearls. While you can purchase the cupcakes individually, this new location will cater especially to caterers, restaurant owners and others looking for wholesale dessert options with prices actually lower than the company’s flagship location, located on Main St. in Vista.
The new Little Cakes Kitchen location, situated at 1031 S Santa Fe Ave Suite A in Vista, also offers many exciting, new products such as Bakery Supplies (including Lorann oils and emulsions used in Little Cakes products), as well as Bakery Packaging, gourmet imported chocolate and even Little Cakes cake mixes and house made Italian buttercream. Want to learn to make a Little Cake at home? Soon you will be able to attend cake and cupcake decorating classes at the new location. It also carries 6” cakes, tiramisu, other baked goods as well as their brand new, gourmet Little Cakes Ice Cream.
If that is not enough sweetness for you, Little Cakes has partnered with Carlsbad Candy Company, offering artisanal candies, many of which are made with iconic Carlsbad Alkaline Water. Housed in this same location, Little Cakes customers will see this new brand grow and grow in exciting ways. In addition, Little Cakes is extremely proud to be the first ever accredited Frontline Friendly℠ company. Frontline Careers, Founded in January 2020, is a Southern California-based startup with a mission to connect frontline workers looking for more with companies that offer more. The startup’s proprietary Frontline Friendly℠ Assessment and Certification process enables frontline job seekers, customers, and investors to better identify those companies that truly value and invest in their frontline workers.
“Meeting Jason [Roberts, CEO of Frontline Careers] at a Vista Chamber event, we struck up a multi-layered conversation that basically has been going ever since,” says Don Hein, owner of Little Cakes Kitchen. “He heard my episode of the Velocity podcast where I shared the values and philosophies of our company and he thought we would be a good candidate to be certified by his business.” “Being told by an outside entity who discreetly interviewed your staff that they love their jobs, that they are proud to work for your company is a fantastic feeling. We also found out how to make things even better, but hearing this, after going through the struggles of these past few years was definitely a very proud moment for me,” says Hein. “And being crowned the First Ever Frontline Friendly℠ company, well that’s just icing on the cake.”
