It Sprinkles has just crossed a milestone that feels as sweet as a perfectly frosted cake, and I want to bring you into the celebration. This is the story of how a quiet, home‑based cake kitchen in Austin turned years of steady,thoughtful work into a BusinessRate‑recognized, award‑winning cake brand, one custom order at a time.
1. Our Big Win (and a Huge Thank You)
Recently, It Sprinkles received an official recognition from BusinessRate, naming us as one of Austin’s standout cake businesses
based on our performance score and customer reputation. I’ve received formal stats and a certificate that now hangs proudly in my workspace and is featured on the “Our Sweet Achievements” Section.
For a small, home‑grown brand, seeing “It Sprinkles” appear in a data‑driven ranking alongside bigger names is both surreal and deeply satisfying. It means your reviews, repeat orders, and recommendations have turned into something measurable, proof that the love you’ve shown this little cake studio is visible outside the kitchen too.
From every “just a small cake for home” to every last‑minute “can you please help with this birthday?” message, you helped us get here. Thank you for trusting It Sprinkles with your celebrations and for sharing it with your friends, neighbours, and colleagues.
2. The Journey: “Slowly and Steadily Growing”
It Sprinkles didn’t start with a big shop front or a huge team. It started in a home kitchen in Austin with a simple idea:
Make cakes that taste like home, look like they’re ready for a party, and feel like they were made for one particular person, not a production line.
From there, the brand grew slowly and steadily:
- Custom orders for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, farewells, and festivals.
- Word of mouth from happy families who told their friends “you have to try this place”
- Residential and long‑stay guests who wanted something warm, homemade, and reliable rather than a generic supermarket cake
Along the way, a few core values shaped It Sprinkles:
- Made‑to‑order, not mass‑produced
Every cake starts with a specific date, person, and flavour in mind. There’s no frozen stock waiting in the back. - 7‑day pre‑order as a quality promise
The advance‑order rule isn’t about being rigid, it’s about guaranteeing enough time to design, bake, cool, fill, decorate, and pack your cake properly, without shortcuts. - Attention to detail in every layer
From flavour pairing and moisture to clean edges, simple textures, and neat writing, as much care goes into the inside as the outside. - Care for real people, not just “tickets”
Residential customers, parents juggling parties, long‑stay guests in Austin, these real lives and stories matter, and the goal is to reflect that in every order. - Allergen‑aware, custom‑care cakes
From nut‑free and egg‑free options to clear ingredient guidance, every cake is planned so guests with common allergies can feel safer and more included at the table.
The choice wasn’t to grow overnight; it was to show up consistently well. That’s the slow, steady growth path that
eventually got noticed.
3. The Award: What This Recognition Really Means
On the “Our Sweet Achievements” section in footer of each page, the BusinessRate certificate isn’t just a badge to display, it’s a reflection of what Megha has quietly been working toward with It Sprinkles from day one. For her, the numbers and score translate into something very personal: real families, real celebrations, and real people repeatedly choosing a small, home‑based brand in a big, competitive city like Austin.
When she sees that customers rate It Sprinkles highly and keep coming back, it confirms that all the slow, careful choices, limiting the number of orders, saying “no” when quality might suffer, and obsessing over details in the kitchen are actually felt on the other side. It’s proof that “quality over quantity” is not just a nice phrase, it’s a strategy that is working in real life.
It also matters on an emotional level. Megha isn’t operating out of a giant commercial space with a big team and advertising budget; she’s running a home‑grown brand that has to earn trust one order at a time. Knowing that an independent assessment has placed It Sprinkles alongside, and even ahead of, larger Austin cake businesses can feel both grounding and motivating, like a quiet “you belong here” in a crowded market.
For new customers, this recognition removes some of the uncertainty of ordering from a smaller home bakery. Megha can confidently say, “You’re not taking a risk on me just because I’m home‑based—here’s objective proof that what I do holds up against bigger names.” For her, that means she’s no longer asking people to trust only her words or photos; she can point to an outside score that backs up the care she puts into every cake.
Displaying the BusinessRate visuals and a simple explanation of the score in “Our Sweet Achievements” is Megha’s way of inviting people into that story. It’s not about bragging; it’s about saying, “Here’s what others have experienced with It Sprinkles, and here’s why I’m so committed to keeping the bar this high for you, too.”
