💖 The Story Behind the Name
Founded by Christeen Botros, Candy & Cake began in 2017 as a home bakery inspired by a love for creative desserts. The name reflects their first menu — full of candy-inspired cupcakes and cheesecakes — but over time, it evolved into a full restaurant and dessert destination that brings families together for food, fun, and sweetness under one roof.
