“The Big Man” (Chip Brown) was actually a physician-in training when he began selling his cakes to colleagues at the hospital more for fun than as an enterprise. At 6 foot 5 inches tall, the “Big Man” who looks like a linebacker, used baking as a stress reliever for all those long hours of study. He also discovered a natural correlation between chemistry in the lab & the chemistry of the perfect cake, as well as the art of healing through great cupcakes! While navigating through careers in medicine, politics & technology, Chip ultimately collaborated with long time technology guru Claudine Grier, a former Microsoft executive, & together they launched Big Man Bakes in October 2009 in the Old Bank District in Downtown Los Angeles with a mission to win the hearts, minds & sweet appetites of folks around the globe. Now, Big Man Bakes has appeared on the Food Network, CNN, & OWN (Oprah’s network) and has been listed as one of the top ten bakeries by the Los Angeles Times.
