Facebook followers of Cappellino’s Crazy Cakes got some sad news this afternoon. Frank Cappellino will be moving on to work with Foods Of All Nations on April 1st. So get as many cupcakes as you can before March 26th.
Cappellino’s Crazy Cakes was opened by brother and sister Dotty and Frank in June of 2008. Using their father’s recipes they quickly became known for their beautiful and rich treats.
Dotty posted that she is incredibly thankful for the community’s love and support as she announced that she will not be coming out of retirement.
“It has been a great 61/2 years,” she said, “& we cannot thank this wonderful community enough!”
Although Cappellino’s Crazy Cakes will be missed, it’s important to remember that this is a new opportunity for Frank Cappellino. We wish him all the best and hope everyone will take the time to visit him in his new job!
