Family Business Of The Year Poised To Be Million-Dollar Cupcake Enterprise
Mignon Francois combined her desire to launch a business with her college chemistry studies to create a formula for the art of baking. Deep in debt and caring for six children along with her husband, she started selling cupcakes from her living room in 2007 with her grandmother serving as chief taster and advisor. By 2008, The Cupcake Collection, a boutique-style bakery featuring made-from-scratch cupcakes and wedding cakes, was launched in Nashville, Tennessee’s historic Germantown area.
