Today we’d like to introduce you to Monte Berry.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Monte. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
That’s The Cake began in a home of Nancy Newsom back almost 20 years ago, she did it as a hobby for family and close friends. In 2008, she began to see a higher demand for her baked goods, therefore she formed the name That’s The Cake in 2009 and open her location in Lewisville, TX first, we’re now rooted in North Arlington, TX. Over the years, business has grown rapidly and continues on a path of excitement. In November 2016, we were featured on INSP’s Original Series State Plate with American Idol’s Taylor Hicks for our rich, divine, Texas Sheet Cake. We’re located in one of the fastest growing cities in America and we hope that we continue to please all of our beautiful and special clientele.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Over the years, as many businesses do, we’ve had financial issues that caused Nancy to make some real difficult decisions, as one being her home being let go. She gave it up for the bakery. We’ve had many challenges with employees meeting our high standard of expectations, and it’s been obstacles of training of many hours to make sure our expectations are kept where they should be.
