“Cupcakes & Kisses is more than a bakery — it’s a movement to make life sweeter, one handcrafted dessert and one heartfelt connection at a time.”
From a Single Storefront
to a National Vision
Since 2015, Cupcakes and Kisses has been spreading joy across Michigan — one cupcake at a time. What started as a single family-run bakery in Downtown Holly has grown into multiple thriving locations, each built on the same foundation: faith, family, and community.
Every item we bake — every cupcake, wedding cake, cheesecake, and cookie — is made entirely from scratch using real ingredients. No mixes. No preservatives. Ever. That commitment to quality is what’s built our loyal following and kept our customers coming back year after year.
Now, for the first time, we’re opening our recipe for success to passionate entrepreneurs across the United States. This is your invitation to be part of our story.
