Our Story
Allie's Cupcakery & Café is an eatery years in the making. In fact, you might say that its origins date all the way back to 1949! That was the year Josephine Pistilli, my grandma, opened Pistilli's Family Restaurant in Bernardsville, NJ. She spent years cooking, expanding, and perfecting her business. Having lived a stone's throw away (literally) from her restaurant until my early twenties, I spent most of my time learning and working by my grandma's side.
Meanwhile, in 1984, my mom, Susan Wilkie, founded Dessert Creations, a business dedicated to serving the restaurant industry and general public quality desserts, made from scratch with the finest ingredients. Eventually, my mom passed the torch on to me. Many of those delicious desserts can now be found in our store!
Even with all of this history, the true driving force behind Allie's Cupcakery & Café was our daughter Allie's love of cupcakes. She enjoyed curling up next to us to watch our favorite cupcake-themed TV shows, and we even visited Georgetown Cupcake's flagship shop in Washington, DC! The thought of cupcakes, and their endless combinations, tastes, and possibilites excited Allie! And, although she was granted her angel wings in April of 2012, after a two year battle with cancer, her excitement lives on in those she touched while she was here. Each week during the summer and autumn of 2012, Allie's cousins celebrated Cupcake Sunday in her memory and voted for their favorite cupcake flavor combinations for our family to try. And now, we are proud to share our favorites with you! ~Jessica Pistilli & Hernan Valverde
