Dan Byers, creative chef of Daddy Cakes will be manning the griddle, flipping his now-famous pancakes. I'm getting hungry just thinking about the brunch - pancakes (complete with a "pancake topping bar"), eggs, sausage, bacon, orange juice, milk . Yum! Yum! Yum!
The cost is just $5 for all "non-Dad" guests (Dad gets to eat for FREE), & ALL proceeds from the event will benefit a local food bank. (We LOVE that!) Reservations are required & can be made by calling (714)566-7650.

Daddies eat free during special Father’s Day brunch fundraiser featuring
Daddy Cakes® pancakes at Whole Foods Market in Tustin
Saturday, June 20th | 10 a.m. – noon | Whole Foods Market at The District at Tustin Legacy
Daddy Cakes® will treat Daddies to a free pre-Father’s Day pancake brunch on Saturday, June 20 from 10 a.m. to noon at Whole Foods Market at The District at Tustin Legacy. Dan Byers, co-founder and creative chef of Daddy Cakes, will be flipping his now-famous pancakes as he serves Daddies and their families during the event. In addition to Daddy Cakes pancakes, the brunch will include items such as eggs, sausage and bacon, as well as a “pancake topping bar,” and coffee, milk and juices. The cost for the brunch is $5 for all non-Dad guests and all proceeds from the event will benefit a local food bank. Reservations required and can be made by calling 714.566.7650.
“This event marks our second with Whole Foods Markets at The District and is just one of the many ways in which we stay in touch with and contribute to the community,” commented Byers. “Daddy Cakes was founded on the American tradition known as the ‘pancake breakfast,’ so this event reminds us of what’s at the core of our concept: family.”
Daddy Cakes, which produces a line of nine flavors of pancake mixes, has grown exponentially over the past year, recently expanding their distribution in Orange County to Whole Foods Markets.
“Despite our recent growth as a brand, Daddy Cakes will always be more than just a business, but a means of bringing families together by delivering a quality product with a healthy dose of fun,” continued Byers.
Daddy Cakes serves as a wholesome alternative to the many pancake mixes available on the market by utilizing real fruit, whole grains and organic flour to create a variety of heart-smart flavors.

COAST Magazine article "DAD's, Inc"
We were pleasantly surprised last month when we were contacted by the Senior Editor of COAST Magazine, Jessica Forsyth. She happened to call right about 3:15PM and I had just picked up the kids from school and was in the middle of ordering a double scoop of mint chip ice cream on a sugar cone....Somewhat embarrassed by being caught by someone who might expose one of my many Triple M's "Mister Mom Moments" I did what any self respecting Father would do - I explained that I was in a meeting and asked if she would send me an email with her contact information so as we might talk the next day when I wasn't nearly as busy and then confidently finished my order with upgrading to a waffle cone.
The next day, Mrs. Forsyth and I made arrangements to meet for an interview when the entire "Daddy Cakes® Team" was going to be together. For those not familiar with COAST MAGAZINE, it is a premium publication that reflects some of the finer elements of the Southern California lifestyle. After making arrangements for the interview date, I had visions of being interviewed by someone similar to Lou Grant (the stereotypical 1970's Newspaper Editor played by Ed Asner)/Mary Tyler Moore show....For the record, I was really wrong. Mrs. Forsyth came to our home and she was incredibly nice, spunky and fun to visit with....more like a really bright Mary Tyler Moore. When Jessica left our house it felt like saying "See you later" to a friend.
A few days went by and the photographer called to set up a photo shoot to accompany the story that was to be published in June's COAST Magazine. It just came out this weekend, so get a copy and check out the article.
