1480 Apalachee Pkwy, Tallahassee, FL 32301 For Sale

If you have a passion for baking, a love of community, and a dream of owning a business that brings joy to people every single day, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for.

Smallcakes Tallahassee has been a beloved fixture in the Tallahassee community since 2016. For nearly a decade, this charming cupcake shop has built a loyal following of repeat customers, a warm social media presence, and a reputation for consistent five-star experiences. The business is now available for sale as the current owner relocates, and it is ready for a new passionate owner to step in and make it her own.

What You Get From Day One

This is a fully turnkey operation. Walk in and start baking. The shop comes equipped with everything you need including a Blodgett commercial oven, commercial freezer and refrigerator, stainless steel prep tables, a brand new Square POS system, an edible image printer for custom designs, and all the pans, molds, mixing bowls, and tools of the trade. The signature farmhouse decor, neon sign, display cases, and branded Smallcakes boxes transfer with the business. You are not starting from scratch. You are stepping into something already beautiful.

A Menu Worth Falling In Love With

Smallcakes Tallahassee bakes 15 signature flavors fresh every morning, plus a rotating monthly specialty that keeps customers coming back to see what's new. Daily flavors include Birthday Cake, Lemon, Peanut Butter Cup, Boston Cream, Pink Chocolate, Choc-o-Holic, Pink Vanilla, Sinful Caramel, Chocolate Cream, Strawberry, Cookie-n-Cream, Vanilla-n-Chocolate, Red Velvet, Wedding Cake, and Key Lime. The menu also includes fresh-baked cookies, pupcakes, mini dozen packs, gluten-free options, and cake push-pops. Custom orders for weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, and holiday catering round out the revenue mix and represent meaningful upside for an owner who wants to grow.

A Structural Advantage No New Franchise Can Match

This location carries a grandfathered royalty-free franchise structure. While every other Smallcakes franchisee pays 4% of gross revenue back to the corporate franchisor, this location pays nothing. That benefit transfers fully to the new owner and compounds with every dollar of revenue you generate. On $99,309 in 2025 gross sales, that is nearly $4,000 in immediate annual savings compared to opening a new Smallcakes franchise from scratch.

A Fresh Start in a Prime Location

The current lease expires October 31, 2026. A 1,300 sq ft unit is available in the same Gulf Wind Shopping Center, positioned directly adjacent to Chipotle and Chicken Salad Chick in one of the most active food corridors on Apalachee Parkway. This is actually an exciting opportunity for a new owner to negotiate her own lease terms and set up shop in a location with superior food destination foot traffic. All existing equipment and decor transfers and can move with you. Buyer may also choose a location of their own in the Tallahassee market.

This Is More Than a Business

Smallcakes is a place where people celebrate. Birthdays, weddings, baby showers, work milestones, and Tuesday afternoons when someone just needs a cupcake. If you are a baker who has always dreamed of owning your own shop, this is your chance to step into an established brand, a loyal customer base, and a community that already loves what you do. You bring the passion. Everything else is already here.
