The Cakephone app is a feature of Cakephone.comâ€"the premier online destination for celebrating birthdays and other special occasions. Cakephone.com is the way a new generation of tech savvy customers shops for birthday-related items like cakes, flowers, balloons, gift baskets, and party supplies.
The beginning of a birthday cake delivery business:
Liz and Tom McGinley started Cakephone LLC in January of 2012 with the idea to establish one online destination for celebrating birthdays and other special occasions Liz runs the three websites (Cakephone.com, Collegecakes.com, and Officecakes.com) and the iPhone app (Cakephone) while Tom’s entrepreneurial expertise helped get Cakephone off the ground Tom and Liz are both graduates of Loyola University Maryland. As a college student, Tom began a triumphant mail order delivery business known as Campus Cakes Inc. The pre-internet enterprise quickly grew beyond Loyola’s campus and into neighboring colleges. It was a win/win situation. Parents loved Campus Cakes Inc.. The regional Baltimore bakery was thrilled to receive orders from all around the United States. Tom was proud that his business was a success.
?
When Tom left Loyola and Baltimore to pursue a career in Finance, he left the business to his sister Amy and eventual sister-in-law, Cathy (both of whom also attended Loyola). ?
Tom and Liz eventually found their way to New York. Once there, Liz pursued a successful career in advertising while Tom continued his career in Finance. As the Internet began to emerge as a popular vehicle for business success, Tom hooked up with a local bakery and created a website for them to sell and ship cakes to a new segment of online customers. The bakery in New York had the same positive experience as the bakery in Baltimore once didâ€"happy surprise that orders were flowing in from online shoppers Taking a chance on Tom and his futuristic view of marketing, they began to take orders from all over the United States. The Wall Street Journal recognized Tom’s site as being #1 among several they reviewed. ?
Today, Liz and Tom live in Garden City, NY and with the launch of Cakephone plan to help thousands of bakeries, florists, balloon shops, gift basket shops, and party stores market their products and services via Cakephone.com, Collegecakes.com, Officecakes.com, and the free iPhone app (Cakephone).
