It all began on Shark Tank, when Kim Nelson brought her handmade cakes to the show. Nelson pitched the 4 investors, and while she was turned down by three, Barbara Corcoran stepped up and saw a passionate entrepreneur who had the skills to succeed. With her belief in Nelson, Corcoran invested $50,000 in Daisy Cakes — and Nelson’s made-from-scratch cakes using a family recipe instantly become a nationwide success.
Based in South Carolina, Daisy Cakes — with moist, luscious layers of perfection — will make anyone’s eyes light up. From Daisy’s Lemon Cake with homemade lemon curd to Daisy Coconut Cake, combining 4 layers of luscious coconut cake with coconut butter icing, to Daisy’s Chocolate Cake with semi-sweet ganache and chocolate fudge icing, you’re in for a culinary treat. All are lick-your-plate clean delicious — and are priced at $49.95 plus shipping. While some may say that’s a bit steep, the cakes that we’ve tried have been completely worth it. We tried the Lemon Cake back in 2012 and instantly became addicted. Since then, we’ve tasted the Jilly Vanilly and the Carrot Cake — and all have been equally delicious
