Poppin’ Off! This 48HourPrint Customer Is Taking Their Sweet Path to Success

When Cynthia Lignal began experimenting with gluten-free treats in 2019, she never imagined cake pops would inspire her to start her own business. Custom-made, camera-ready, and celebration-approved, Lignal Cake Pops have become go-to showstoppers for celebrations big and small.

As Cynthia builds toward her dream of opening a storefront in Montclair, NJ, custom prints like banners and business cards have helped her brand stand out at events and connect with more potential clients.

Homegrown and Headed for More

Cynthia launched Lignal Cake Pops in her own kitchen, fueled by a love for baking and a dream to turn simple treats into an unforgettable part of any event.

“I was drawn to the endless POPssibilities cake pops offer, not only as a sweet treat, but as customizable works of art. The idea of bringing joy through something small and beautiful truly captured me,” she says.

That desire to elevate celebrations became the foundation for a growing brand, one that she hopes will have its storefront in the future. And she's well on her way to achieving that.

Committed to making their treats a delightful reflection of a client's special occasion, Lignal Cake Pops expanded into edible images, digital designs for other treat makers, cake pop walls, and soon — cake pop workshops!

With their brand quickly becoming a local staple, making cake pops for weddings, birthdays, bridal showers, and even grand openings for J. Crew and UPS, we asked Cynthia which among her custom creations has been most memorable or unique, she shared:

"One of the most unique cake pops I’ve made was Alice in Wonderland-themed. It was my first-ever character pop, and they were almost too cute to eat!

While that might be the most unique, my favorite cake pops were for my daughter’s 5th birthday last year. I made “Hello Kitty and Friends” character cake pops, added rice krispie pops, and baked a vintage-style Hello Kitty heart cake with a rainbow-colored interior!"



The gorgeous and delicious cake pop birthday spread turned out so well, it inspired Cynthia to expand their menu. Watch out for their mini cake pops!

Branding With Every Bite

When your business is built around celebration, presentation becomes part of the product. For Cynthia, that means making sure Lignal Cake Pops look as polished and tasteful as the treats themselves.

“Branding is everything when you’re a small business. High-quality printed materials help me show up professionally and consistently, no matter where I am. Whether it’s a local market or an Anthropologie pop-up, I want customers to recognize and remember us. 48HourPrint plays a big part in making that happen.”

From custom banners that draw in crowds to custom business cards that allow them to introduce their brand confidently, every printed piece supports the quality and creativity Lignal Cake Pops is known for.

It’s not just about looking good, but also building trust, recognition, and a brand experience that customers remember. For Cynthia, finding a reliable print partner has made all the difference!

"Consistency, quality, and speed, 48HourPrint delivers every time. Whether I need banners for a pop-up or a fresh batch of business cards, I know I can count on beautiful print quality and excellent customer service."

We at 48HourPrint are proud to be a partner she can rely on, and it's rewarding to know she values our support through each business milestone.

"As a small business owner, I truly appreciate the support you show on social media. When I tag you in posts and reels, your kind comments always mean so much. It really shows how much you care about your customers."

Cynthia’s advice to fellow small business owners is simple: stay true to your vision while remaining open to growth and evolution. Building a food business requires passion, patience, persistence, and print products that reinforce your message.



"Custom printing is essential. It’s often the first impression someone has of your brand. It helps create a stronger connection with customers and elevates the presentation of your product. It’s all about building a memorable brand that resonates with your audience. From business cards to banners, quality print materials don’t just make you look good, they help tell your story at every touchpoint."

Lignal Cake Pops' journey is bound for sweet success. With custom printing helping her brand shine, there’s no doubt the brand will keep popping up in new and exciting ways.
