"Shark Tank" is on Friday nights on ABC, so people might miss it. However, they also rerun it on CNBC weeknights. Bingo!

The other night a business from the Grand Rapids area was featured!

FunCakes Rental out of Grandville showed the Sharks their unique wedding cake business.

Kimberly Aya's firm made a replica "Shark Tank" cake, beating out more than 50,000 applicants for a spot on the ABC show. Her company produces cakes that she rents out. Her business doesn't have an oven, but instead she decorates lightweight styrofoam cakes, allowing renting a fake cake and serving cheaper cake sheets.

Aya told WZZM-13:

Each cake has an edible section in the back, where the real cake can go."

WZZM-13 Reports

They didn't get a deal from the Sharks, but the exposure should help them grow right out of the gate!
