Count Baked by Melissa founder Melissa Ben-Ishay among the entrepreneurial success stories founded on getting out of the corporate rat race.
Before starting her company, Ben-Ishay worked at an ad agency in New York City – a role she felt unfulfilled in.
At the time, every cupcake came from her tiny New York City apartment kitchen.
The cafe owner became a shareholder in Baked by Melissa, and the company was able to continue using the space for years.
A year after it moved into the Cafe Bari space, Baked by Melissa opened its second location in Union Square.
