Our story
Two strangers, a triathlon, and a lot of cupcakes.
We love what we do. Thanks to our Little Cakes fans, we are living the dream, committed to creating unexpected, gourmet treats using only the finest ingredients.
A shared love of sweet treats is responsible for the friendship that led to Little Cakes With Big Attitude. As two strangers training together for a triathlon, we distracted each other with talk of cupcakes during our long training sessions.
We discovered a shared passion for baking, but there was no way we could have predicted where those conversations would lead. Before long, we had both given up our jobs to travel around Louisiana, delivering custom orders and selling our Little Cakes at markets and food shows.
Thanks to our Little Cakes fans, who inspire all of our creations, we have the greatest jobs ever.
How it started
Before the shops, there was a garage.
Every flavor in our case started as an experiment. We tweaked recipes and baked batch after batch in the garage, chasing cupcakes worth talking about, long before either shop had a sign on the door.
All that testing left us with more cupcakes than two bakers could ever eat. So the extras rode along to junior high practices, handed out to hungry kids after drills. That is how this town got its first taste of Little Cakes.
The recipes kept getting better. The kids kept asking for more. The garage got too small, and we have not slowed down since.
Where we are now
Two shops, a full bakery case, and a real coffee bar.
Those market tables turned into two storefronts in Alexandria and Pineville. Today we are a scratch bakery and a full coffee shop: cupcakes, cakes and cookies baked fresh daily, alongside iced lattes, cold brew, matcha and espresso pulled to order. Come for a cupcake, stay for the coffee, or build a morning out of both.
We want you to love our Little Cakes. And we want you to come back and see us, again and again.
