Meet the Woman Behind The Denver Cupcake Truck

Denon Moore is the person who’s been putting the magic in the baked goods at Cake Crumbs Bakery since 2007.  She’s also the person who’s cultivated and led the enormous following of The Denver Cupcake Truck since 2010.  As a business owner, wife and mother of two, Denon knows what it takes to keep a business alive.

Denon lived with her Grandmother as a child and remembers fondly enjoying homemade pastries and treats. It was then that Denon learned about the quality and freshness of homemade. Her grandmother’s influence was a driving force in opening the bakery.

Denon graduated with a degree in Psychology and worked as a mental health counselor before deciding she needed something on her own.  She was fond of baking and decorating cakes and had a passion to build community, so she decided to open a cake shop. That cake shop has grown nearly four times its size since July 2007 and has changed concepts.  Cake Crumbs is now a quaint café and bakery nestled in the historic Park Hill neighborhood.  It’s also home of the famous The Denver Cupcake Truck.  Denon looks forward to launching another brand truck and continues to keep the ideas at Cake Crumbs as fresh as the baked goods.

Meet Denon in person and hear more about her rise to success at the CWCC North Luncheon on February 2, 2012.

Nestled in historic Park Hill, this bakers is always baking up new ideas from great party cakes to wholesome breakfast and lunch items.  Enjoy a quick bit at Cake Crumbs or use the free wi-fi for your business needs.  This neighborhood bakery is a great  find and one of Denver’s finest.  Follow Cake Crumbs Bakery  and The Denver Cupcake Truck.

Chamber Champion: Colorado Public Radio

Colorado Public Radio joined the Chamber in 2008 and since that time, it has provided tremendous support to the Chamber and its members.  As a Chamber Champion, we want to highlight the organizations and businesses that support the Chamber.  Here is a little information on Colorado Public Radio.

Colorado Public Radio is a two-channel public radio network providing a twenty-four hour classical music service and full-time in-depth news and information service to more than 85% of Colorado’s citizens.

KCFR, Colorado Public Radio’s news and information service, provides listeners with information that informs, enlightens and entertains. National and international programming includes National Public Radio’s Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Fresh Air, Talk of the Nation, the BBC World Service; and weekend favorites like Car Talk and A Prairie Home Companion.

KCFR’s local news brings the citizens of Colorado context and perspective on the issues that have the greatest impact on the state and region. It includes hourly newscasts, drive-time features, and “Colorado Matters,” a daily news interview program that focuses on key state issues, including government, education, health, and the environment.

KCFR involves its listeners through the Pubic Insight Network (PIN), a network of individuals who volunteer to share their experiences and expertise on a variety of topics, broadening and diversifying KCFR’s ability to serve as Coloradans’ primary source for intelligent public discourse. 

KCFR is heard across the state at 90.1 FM in Denver, 1340 AM in Denver, 1490 AM in Boulder, 1230 AM in Pueblo, 89.9 FM in Vail, 89.5 FM in Grand Junction, 88.3 FM in Montrose, and 88.3 FM in Craig, as well as on-line at www.cpr.org.

KVOD, Colorado Public Radio’s classical service, brings classical music to life 24 hours a day.  Its knowledgeable hosts present the greatest compositions in the finest recorded performances, and the best Colorado ensembles through performances recorded on location and in the KVOD performance studio. Colorado Spotlightis hosted, written and produced by Charley Samson, and connects listeners with Colorado’s own classical musicians, composers, performing groups and festivals through broadcast performances and announcements of upcoming cultural events.  As a fully local service, KVOD demonstrates its commitment to providing programs and promotions deeply tied to our community, not just during Colorado Spotlight, but throughout the day.

KVOD, Colorado’s only statewide, full-time classical music station, is heard across the state at 88.1 FM in Denver, 91.9 FM in Pueblo, 90.5 FM in Glenwood Springs, 103.3 FM along the Western Slope, and on-line at www.kvod.org.
