In between years of decorating in local bakeries and starting her own decorating company, Melissa married her childhood sweetheart, whom recently came home from 6 years of active duty in the Air Force.

Ben and Perry Feigenson were bakers who immigrated from Russia, and in 1907 created sodapop in Detroit, Michigan. Their original flavors, Strawberry, Orange and Grape, were based upon their own cake frosting recipes. That’s why we mixed Faygo® sodapop in our delicious cupcakes and “POP”cakes were born.

Now you can have your cupcakes and drink it too, which are conveniently sold in six-packs, 2 of each flavor: Orange, Grape, and Redpop for $6.99. Available at most Hiller’s and Busch’s markets.

Faygo® and Just Baked, a match made in Michigan.
