Former MCC Student Wins Food Network's Cupcake Wars


Heather Saffer, owner of Dollop, a gourmet cupcake bakery in Penfield, won Food Network’s Cupcake Wars on the 2/20 episode. Heather, along with her assistant, who is an MCC student in the Hospitality department (see past Trib announcement), won the $10,000 prize and an opportunity to serve her cupcakes at a Monster truck event in California (plus she is getting some great publicity). Heather was a psychology major at Brockport, but decided to pursue her passion, and enrolled in some business courses at MCC to learn how to start her business. She took Introduction to Business, Personal Money Management and Entrepreneurial Studies to develop solid foundation in business skills to complement her culinary skills.
