THE COMPANY
American
Cupcake is a specialty food business founded in 2006. We are based in
San Francisco, CA and operate as a cupcake catering service, with
plans to open a retail storefront. We're open late. Our mission is to
bake you cupcakes, then sleep in.
THE FOUNDER
American
Cupcake was founded by Devin Glasser, a Bay Area native. Devin manages
all business, culinary and creative operations.
Devin
launched her career in 1995 as a writer and producer for America
Online. With a knack for interactive product design and
an astute consumer eye, she turned a number
of unknown internet applications into wildly popular dot com
properties. Devin is a self-taught pastry chef. American Cupcake is her
first venture in the specialty food industry. And the first time she
gets to eat the product.
Devin graduated magna cum laude
from U.C. Berkeley, with BA in English. She then spent a year
at the University of Florida's Institute for the Psychoanalytic Study
of the Arts, pursuing an MA in feminist re-readings of psychoanalysis.
This course of study most certainly prepared her for a career in
cupcakes.
Devin hopes you'll join her in her mission to take
back the midnight snack. She'd love to hear your thoughts about
frosting consistency, or about how she really should've stuck with
the hair modeling thing. You may email her at devin@americancupcake.com. She’s probably awake.
