The Grand Cupcakery was started as a home based business in March 2012. Sisters Jenifer Meyer and Carmen Sinclair sold cupcakes at Marion Open Air Market every weekend during that summer. TGC started becoming well known in the area, and after recieving several orders over the winter, was able to open their first "brick and mortar" location in June of 2013. In the fall of 2013, Carmen decided to pursue other options in her life and left TGC. She was replaced by Cortney Santiago, a Grant County Native who shares Jenifer's passion to bake. In February 2014, TGC moved from its first location to a new location in Five Points Mall in Marion, IN. Business at that location has been steadily increasing, and 2014 promises to be an exciting year! In July 2014, Cortney Santiago purchased Jenifer's share of the business so that Jenifer could move out of state with her family. Show less
