The remarkable success story of Tammy Craddock
Tammy Craddock, a former schoolteacher and stay-at-home mom, began her cheesecake career as a home-based baker in Columbus, Mississippi in 1983. Having been raised on an Illinois farm, she was not only familiar with home baking, but had also developed a special skill for it. While raising her two children in Columbus, she began baking breads and desserts for her friends and then also began to sell them.
She soon began making her prized cheesecakes for four restaurants in the area and then in 1997 she was awarded a contract with Amtrak to serve four flavors of cheesecake on the Crescent Line from New York to New Orleans. The mixers and blenders got bigger, but she still made every cheesecake by hand.
In May of this year, Amtrak awarded Tammy Craddock and Jubilations Cheesecake a contract to provide her cheesecakes on it's entire route system in the U.S. Initial estimates suggest that they will serve 10,000 slices per week. Wow! For her remarkable story and a look at her products, visit Jubilations.com
