This summer we are hosting a series highlighting small businesses and their struggles and triumphs in Tacoma. In part three, we have a conversation with Cassandra Williams, the owner and proprietor of Love by the Slice. Love by the Slice is a Black-owned business, located on Hilltop, directly across the street from 1111 and is the best bakery in the city.

Cassandra talked about how she got her start, selling cakes for church fundraisers, learned to decorate cakes from YouTube, and landed her space in early 2020… right on time for the world to fall apart. But she persevered and the bakery is thriving. 

Her pound cakes are ah-mazing and legendary on Tacoma’s Eastside.
