Born and raised in Austin, Texas, our owner Katie Bycura graduated with honors from Westlake High School and then studied nursing at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. After a summer in New York City and while finishing school in DC, she discovered several great East Coast cupcakeries.
Upon returning to Austin and working as a pediatric registered nurse, Katie decided to pursue a long-time hobby that had always brought her happiness – baking – and cupcakes, of course, would be her specialty. Her background in health care, while unique in its own right, has encouraged her to create a greener cupcake, one families can feel better about eating together. She has also worked hard to develop special diet cupcake alternatives; everyone should be able to enjoy a cupcake!
Shella, Katie’s amazing mother, has always been her #1 fan. As business has picked up, Shella has stepped up to the plate and truly become an asset to Hill Country Cupcake. Also a Registered Nurse by trade, Shella is equally committed to the same philosophies Hill Country Cupcake was founded upon. An Austin resident since 1976, she knows and loves our community. She also knows how important it is to make life’s moments – and memories – so much sweeter.
Join Katie and Shella. Make life sweeter – one cupcake at a time.
