Our Story

Lucki’s Cheesecakes is a family owned and operated business. We began in 2005, as the brainchild of then 15 year-old Lucki Word. During the company’s inception, Word was driven to create a business to support her mother, Rhonda. At the time, Rhonda was working 3 jobs, one of which included cleaning “chitterlings,” just to make ends meet.

During Christmas 2005, Lucki was unable to afford a gift for her mother and decided instead to make one of her favorite deserts: cheesecake. Lucki used a cheesecake recipe she learned from her grandfather, and thus, crafted a creation which would forever shape her life! After a cousin tasted Lucki’s cheesecake and suggested that “this cake is so good, you should sell it,” Lucki decided to turn her hobby into a functional business!

As Lucki’s business began to blossom, Rhonda decided to take the ultimate leap of faith, turning Lucki’s home-based pastime into a brick and mortar bakery! Now 15 years and 2 locations later, Lucki’s Cheesecakes has not only changed the lives of both Lucki and Rhonda, but has also touched thousands of faithful customers!
