City Cakes Revenue and Competitors

Established in 2007, Chef Marc Coolrecht & Chef Benny Rivera started City Cakes as a private custom cake business under the name Diverse Desserts. The response to the hidden business was huge, and they eventually moved into a small basement space in NYC in 2009. From that point due to underground interest, they began appearing in publications and on shows like TLC's Fabulous Cakes, Food Network Cake Challenges, Halloween Wars, Telemundo, Univision and even E! Network's The Soup. In Summer 2010 to address the public response, the guys crammed a little service counter into their W 18th basement studio and expanded the custom cake business by selling gourmet cupcakes and their original half pound cookies to the public on a limited, walk-in basis. City Cakes began shipping and delivering their famous Half Pound Cookies via their website in Fall 2015 across the US, Puerto Rico and also limited delivery within Manhattan. The City Cakes team is an incredible group of people and has gathered a steady, loyal following due to their positive, upbeat mission of making peoples' days brighter. The customer and fanbase continues to grow and City Cakes continues to grow as a leading cake and baking company in NYC and around the globe. City Cakes is undergoing a big expansion with goals to be complete in late 2019. The company will continue to be a high-end studio, taking inspiration from NYC's diverse melting pot and using this to create gorgeous works of edible art - stunning, delicious and unique.
