Who is mommy on dc cupcakes

Having built successful careers in finance and fashion, the sisters decided to take the leap and traded their high-powered lives for the wonder that is cupcakes. Armed with their life savings, family support, and their grandmother's trusted recipes, Sophie and Katherine opened Georgetown Cupcake in on Valentine's Day.

The shop became an immediate hit and grew to the point where it sells more than 5, cupcakes each day. During the show's three seasons, viewers got a peek into their fast-paced environment as the two sisters handled everything from the baking to marketing and securing large projects. The staff that works for this dynamic duo, are as colorful as their creations. With a small working environment and high volume output, everything baking there is not always sweet. However, one thing has always remained a constant, Katherine and Sophie are as inseparable as they seem on their television show.

The duo works together, shop, attend charity events, and spent practically all their free time together at Katherine's house in Bethesda. When at home the world of cupcakes is not left at the bakery, instead, that is actually where the magic happens - in Katherine's kitchen where the sisters come up with their amazing recipes, including Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip, Gluten-Free Vanilla, and Butterscotch Waffle Cone.

Their mother, Elaine also lives with Katherine and is her daughter, Isa with husband Ben Berman's "Granny-Nanny," while she also helps her daughters with their successful business. Katherine married her husband, Ben Berman on September 17, , but not without making headlines first. Her Vera Wang wedding gown decided breathing is optional, which caused Katherine to pass out. Not letting it keep her from wedding the man of her dreams, Katherine walked down the aisle with her gown partially unzipped.

The wedding drama later made it onto their show which aired in November , on TLC, luckily so did Sophie's surprise wedding "cake. Sophie surprised the bride with a cupcake tower that stood nine feet tall and featured 5, Georgetown Cupcakes frosted with mouthwatering champagne buttercream, fondant roses, and edible pearls.

The couple welcomed their first child when Katherine gave birth to Isa on February 19, , at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington and felt "over the moon and so excited" at her arrival. Sophie attributes their success with the bakery to two things; their ability to adapt, and a favorable post by a food critic shortly after they opened in Even though the duo had carefully worked out a business plan, it flew out the window on their first day of business.

Having thought it would be "a quiet, neighborhood Georgetown bakery," they quickly found themselves in a jam when customers came in demanding cupcakes then and there. What really gave the business a boost, is when a food critic for the Washington Post wrote a story about Georgetown Cupcakes. Sophie appeared on television often after "DC Cupcakes" went off the air in Now the pair can add another item to their list of things they share in common, substantial weight loss.

The two sisters shed more than pounds together, all while being constantly tempted by sweets and treats in their roles as cupcake chefs. The weight gain for Berman and LaMontagne began two years ago when a then-pregnant Berman put on 60 pounds. Berman's sister soon found herself getting heavier, too, putting on the pregnancy-sympathy weight. You're in the same surroundings and same situations and, before I knew it, I had gained 40 pounds. Once Berman gave birth to her daughter, in March , the sisters got to work on a weight-loss plan.

While allowing themselves one cupcake per day and focusing on more sensible portions overall, the sisters lost a combined plus pounds in nine months. New York-based nutritionist Maya Feller says the "DC Cupcakes" sisters took the right path in focusing on both diet and exercise.

Diet alone is not the only answer.
