Description

In today’s episode of I Love Cambridge Podcast, we have invited Arthur and Jenn Gralec, owners of Tiny Cakes. Tiny Cakes is located at 65 Dickson St., right across the city hall, and they have been opened for about 10 years.

Standout Quotes:

• "We are so blessed and lucky that we are able to stay open.” [Jenn]
• “It's pretty amazing how, a little tiny cake can help bring a little bit of normalcy and a little bit of joy even in what's going on right now.” [Arthur]
• “You think that out of all of it, the baking is the easy part. It's the staffing. It's the logistics.” [Jenn]
• “And that's just my way of just putting a little bit of pretty out into the world and a little bit of happiness out into the world.” [Jenn]
• “We enjoy being part of other people's celebration.” [Arthur]

Key Takeaways:

• Their set-up was always cash and carry takeout. In this pandemic, they shut down their coffee station and seats for consultations or anything like that.
• A lot of people go in and order the same thing time and time again.
• You can also find their cupcakes in Uptown Waterloo.
