Chicagoans inspired by Reina's Cakes: Puerto Rican delights deliver uplifting message - "Persevere"
As Hispanic Heritage Month begins on Tuesday, we're celebrating the story of Reina Marcelle, a remarkable woman who turned her passion for baking into a thriving business in the heart of Chicago.
Reina, the founder of Reina's Cakes, moved to the Windy City seeking a fresh start. With just $25 in her pocket and a dream in her heart, she started her business as a street vendor. Today, her shop, located on Division Street in Humboldt Park, is a beacon of creativity and inclusivity.
Reina's Cakes offers more than just delicious treats; it's a safe haven for students, providing a 12-week program for high school students to work in the shop and develop their skills. One such student, Thyanifer Infante, found a "little secret passion" for cake decorating at Reina's Cakes.
The shop's offerings are as diverse as the community it serves. Reina's Cakes provides free people, sugar-free, and vegan options, ensuring everyone can indulge in a slice of her delectable creations. But it's not just humans who get to enjoy her cakes; Reina's Cakes also creates bespoke cakes for cats and dogs.
From the very beginning, Reina wanted her cakes to be the most beautiful ones ever seen. Her dedication to aesthetics, combined with her commitment to quality, has made Reina's Cakes a must-visit destination for cake lovers in Chicago. The shop boasts an impressive selection of 30 different cake flavours, ensuring there's nothing bundt cakes for everyone.
Reina's journey hasn't always been easy, but her resilience and determination have paid off. She's expressed her relief at not giving up on her business and encourages others not to quit either. Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the sweet taste of success.
So, as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, let's raise a slice of Reina's Cakes to the incredible Reina Marcelle, a woman who's making a difference in Chicago, one cake at a time.
