Vicky Cakes began with a recipe that already had a place at the family table. Vicky made pancakes for her children in Gary, Indiana, and the tradition stayed with her youngest daughter, Christian. When Cortney tasted them at a family breakfast in 2013, he saw a business waiting in the batter. Christian and Cortney launched Vicky Cakes on Mother’s Day in 2019, naming it for the woman behind the recipe. Today the lineup moves from the original pancake and waffle mix to dessert-inspired flavors and syrups. The idea at its heart is still familiar: give people a reason to sit down together.
