MOUNT VERNON, NY – In a testament to the power of passion and perseverance, Cupcake Cutie Boutique, a local favorite in Mount Vernon, is set to celebrate its ninth anniversary this Saturday. The celebration marks nearly a decade of serving up smiles and sweet treats to the Westchester community.
Founded by the unlikely duo of Montika Jones, a Mount Vernon Detective, and her daughter Miesha Stokely, a Nurse Practitioner, Cupcake Cutie Boutique has transformed from a part-time hobby into a thriving full-time business. The pair’s journey from public service to pastry perfection is as unique as their cupcake flavors.
“We never imagined our little baking hobby would grow into this,” Jones shared in an exclusive interview. “It’s been an incredible journey, balancing our careers with our love for baking.”
The boutique, located at 8 South Sixth Avenue, has become a staple in the local dessert scene, known for its innovative flavors and high-quality ingredients. Stokely attributes their success to community support and their commitment to quality. “We pour our hearts into every cupcake,” she said. “I think our customers can taste the difference.”
To mark this milestone, Cupcake Cutie Boutique is hosting an anniversary event on Saturday, October 19, from 1 PM to 7 PM. The celebration promises to be a feast for the senses, featuring special edition anniversary cupcakes, new flavor samplings, and family-friendly activities.
The success of Cupcake Cutie Boutique reflects a growing trend of professionals turning passion projects into successful small businesses. Economic analyst Dr. James Rivera notes, “We’re seeing more individuals, especially women, successfully transitioning from traditional careers to entrepreneurship. It’s a positive trend for local economies.”
As Cupcake Cutie Boutique prepares for its next chapter, Jones and Stokely remain committed to their community roots. “Mount Vernon has given us so much,” Jones reflected. “This celebration is our way of saying thank you.”
The anniversary event is open to the public and will include exclusive discounts and giveaways. It’s an opportunity for the community to come together, satisfy their sweet tooth, and celebrate a local success story that’s been nine years in the making.
