The Cupcake Collection is a small- to mid-sized, family-operated bakery based in Nashville, Tennessee, within the Food and Beverage Services sector. The operation bakes cupcakes from scratch in a setting described as the family living room, prioritizing a homemade, classic style rather than novelty recipes. The business states it avoids lard and shortening and offers gluten- or dairy-free options upon request, aligning with dietary preferences. Founded on the initiative of the Francois family, including daughters Brittany and Lauren, the company has pursued local and national reach for almost a decade. It has earned regional recognition, including a 2016 Best Small Business award, and has engaged in partnerships with local organizations, such as a collaboration tied to 615 Day with the Mayor's Office and the Nashville Predators, and a 2020 partnership with Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe to offer cupcakes.
