Sophie Kallinis LaMontagne

Georgetown Cupcake was started by Sophie Kallinis LaMontagne and her sister Katherine Kallinis. The sisters started baking along side their grandmother when Katherine was three and Sophie was four. The very first cake they baked was for their grandfather's birthday: vanilla cake with a milk chocolate frosting. They learned how to bake from their grandmother by following her around and imitating her in the kitchen.

Katherine and Sophie and their staff now bake over 5,000 cupcakes each day and ship their cupcakes all over the country. Their cupcakes have won numerous awards and contests and was voted "Best Bakery" in Washington, D.C.
