Dozen Bake Shop
Dozen Bake Shop was a bakery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While a variety of baked goods and other dishes were offered, cupcakes were Dozen's specialty and featured product.It was founded in late 2006 by James Gray, a graduate of Chicago Culinary Institute. The opening came amid a national cupcake trend, leading Gray to believe that the time was right to open a cupcake-heavy bakery in Pittsburgh, as he believed that the trend had already played out in New York City or Chicago. Andew Twigg was a co-owner with Gray.The bakery developed a strong brand and a social media presence, using Facebook and Twitter to alert customers of daily specials and other offers. The Twitter account became one of the most popular in Pittsburgh. Dozen Bake Shop was the official cupcake of the Pittsburgh Penguins and their cupcakes are available at the Consol Energy Center.The baking philosophy focused on using local sourcing, especially local produce and herbs.The "Elvis" was a featured item; it was a banana cupcake with chocolate hazelnut filling, topped with peanut butter buttercream icing. Baker Megan Hart came one board once the new owner, Doreen Valentine, hired her. Megan created specialty cakes and edible roses in 2012.
