Our Story
Angie Croft is the creator and founder of Pop Goes the Party LLC, Tampa’s original and best gourmet cake pop and custom creative dessert company. Inspired by a long line of incredible bakers from several different cultures, Angie became a new mom in 2011. While on maternity leave she found herself baking and creating in her spare time for fun, often at the repeated requests of her famil
y and friends. After discovering the widespread desire for more customized themed treats and the entrepreneurial spirit to have her own business, the concept of Pop Goes the Party was born. Angie's background spans over 13 years as a non-profit executive and philanthropy remains one of her most important core values personally, but also in business. Angie has found a way to combine both passions for investing in her local community by building her small business with the same core values and ethics that are practiced in her professional career. The outcome has been overwhelming and has ultimately been the catalyst for the success and growth of Pop Goes the Party. Pop Goes the Party is proud to contribute thousands of dollars of in kind product and services back to worthy organizations each year. With a long standing reputation of impeccable attention to detail, excellence in customer service and the consistent ability to create almost anything from cake, Pop Goes the Party has become Tampa’s best in creating gourmet cake pops. From small custom orders to large dessert tables for weddings and corporate clients, Pop Goes the Party adds creative sweetness to life’s celebrations all over the region. Unlike traditional cake pops, Pop Goes the Party creates their designs from fully baked cake, with no added frosting. The result is a small, two-bite, moist, fluffy piece of homemade cake, dipped and decorated in high quality chocolate and edible accents. Pop Goes the Party has been featured in publications, programs and blogs like Borrowed and Blue, Artfully Wed, Ella & Annie Magazine, The Mommy Spot Tampa, Tampa Bay Business Journal, Pint Sized Baker, Studio 10, Daytime TV and The Now Tampa Bay. Their desserts have also recognized as nominees for the Best Dish in the Biz by the Tampa Bay Business Journal, Best Desserts by Creative Loafing’s Best of Tampa Bay and Martha Stewart’s American Made Awards. Most recently, Pop Goes the Party was voted one of the top 20 BEST Wedding Bakeries in Tampa by Expertise.
