History of NY Cake: NY Cake, formerly founded as The Chocolate Gallery in 1970, has been a family owned woman run, business since the beginning.

Joan Mansour, the founder of NY Cake, first started the business in her kitchen. In her neighborhood, Joan was known for the spectacular birthday cakes that she would make for her children. After hearing how much everyone loved her cakes, Joan was motivated to teach others how to decorate cakes just the same! Joan’s love of creating and sharing the art of cake decorating was inherited by her daughters, Lisa and Jenny who have continued her legacy and grown the business into what it is today. Now known as NY Cake, we have proudly been apart of the Chelsea community in Manhattan for 30 years.

As the company has grown over the years, we have worked hard to maintain our core mission of being the go to resource for the home baker and decorator. Every expansion we’ve made to our company has been motivated by our customers and their love for cake artistry. To us, our customers are a part of the NY Cake family, and they have played a crucial part in making NY Cake what it is today.
