Honoring Kristina Lavallee: From Cakes to Franchising
Kristina Lavallee’s journey from local cake designer to nationally recognized business owner is nothing short of inspiring. As the founder and creative force behind The Cake Girl, Kristina has built a brand known for its intricate custom cakes, decadent mini cupcakes, and exceptional customer experience.

Kristina’s strategic growth plan focuses on bringing The Cake Girl brand to major markets across Florida, including Orlando, Miami, St. Petersburg, South Florida, and beyond.
Kristina’s talent and entrepreneurial spirit have earned her accolades and features in prominent publications. Most recently, she was featured in the latest issue of Ask Us Beauty Magazine on pages 50-51, where she shared her insights on growing her business through social media and turning her passion into a thriving enterprise. Her feature in the magazine puts her alongside a prestigious list of past cover stars, including Robin Roberts, Maria Shriver, Jenny McCarthy, Sherri Shepherd, Miranda Lambert, and Christie Brinkley—a testament to her rising status as a successful entrepreneur in the industry.
