Bliss Cupcake Cafe was founded in 2009 in Lafayette, Arkansas. The original owner, Shelly Cassar, wanted to do something completely different with a bakery. Since breads, bagels, and donuts could be found anywhere, she decided to try using an old fashioned recipe to make cupcakes. Husband and wife team Flint and Rebekah Harris purchased the operation from Cassar in 2011.
The company operates a chain of bakeries which specialize in cupcakes. Franchise operations began in 2010. Today, there are 5 locations throughout the greater Lafayette area, three store owned and two franchises. Depending on the season, the company makes between 9 and 12 flavors every day using 50 old fashioned recipes. The only flavors that remain consistent are Red Velvet and Chocolate Milkshake.
All cupcakes are made and baked in a common location, then transported to the various stores. The company recently introduced gluten free cupcakes, which have become a popular choice even for those who don’t need to follow a gluten free diet.
