Ingredients – Consumers demand quality ingredients due to health concerns and restrictions. It’s difficult to find vegan pancake mix with wholesome ingredients and without hydrogenated oils, additives and preservatives.

Convenience – Due to factors such as busy lifestyles and less time available for cooking, consumers often prefer packaged pancake mixes. Our pancake and waffle mixes require little preparation time and are available in a variety of flavors and even gluten free options.

Taste – Just-add-water pancakes come out flat, gummy or tasteless, and often leave consumers desiring more or feeling disappointed with the need to "doctor up" the recipe to get a homemade taste.


Vicky Cakes is a gourmet 40-yr-old family recipe that’s light, fluffy, dairy-free, and inclusive.

We’ve disrupted the pancake mix industry with our all-vegan mix, innovative product lines, and culturally-relevant brand.

We stripped common additives from our syrup like high fructose corn syrup and preservatives to make a simply delicious and light syrup that goes down smooth without the chemicals you can't pronounce or dreaded aftertaste.

Vicky Cakes pancake mix and syrups are free of artificial ingredients, dyes, preservatives, GMOs, hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, and all the other stuff you can’t pronounce.



We are truly an inclusive company that caters to nearly every dietary lifestyle and our pancakes taste just like “Big Mamma” made them (if not better)!


In just 3 years, we’ve launched into the national spotlight and have been featured by nearly every major media outlet in the country with more in the works. Everybody is talking about Vicky Cakes!

Vicky Cakes sells direct-to-consumer, B2B wholesale, foodservice, and national retail. In 2019, we rolled out to 186 Jewel Osco locations, making us the 1st Black-owned pancake mix in grocery stores.

(We are the first to our knowledge. There may have been another company before us.)

(The $800k is measured from the beginning of the company until now.)

We generated revenue to $400,000 within the first year with only $10,000 in outside investment.

We’ve bootstrapped our way to nearly $800,000 in lifetime sales; and with your help we’ll reach $1M in lifetime sales by the end of 2023. (not guaranteed)

Gluten-free Pancakes Are On the Rise

The high incidence of digestive health problems, weight management issues, and the demand for nutritious food is fueling the overall demand for gluten-free food items.

Vicky Cakes has the best-tasting gluten-free AND vegan pancake mix on the market, which is hard to find. With plans to expand our gluten-free product line to include all of our flavors we are positioned to increase revenue exponentially as we facilitate opportunities with Whole Foods, Target, and Sam's Club.
