Trey B Cakes, owned by Trey Luzzy (whom I worked with for several years) closed on Friday. When I stopped by on Sunday, the venue was already covered with paper, presumably with the new owners taking posession of the place.

Here's the message they posted on their Facebook Page:

SOLD! Dear TreyBcakes Fans, I have an exciting announcement that is also somewhat bittersweet. Over the last year, I have had a strong desire to return to government service, and I am happy to say I have officially sold TreyBcakes in order to return to government service and Friday is our last day. I was lucky enough to fulfill a lifelong dream and open a restaurant and work with my family, but now it is on to the next chapter. To my grandparents, Fred and Betty, thank you for loving me enough to believe in me and support my endeavor-always supporting me and never making me feel guilty for your tremendous help. To Popie Lunsford, our dream came true! Though you were not here in physical form, I know you were with me in spirit. To my parents, Fred and Kathy, I will never be able to repay or thank you enough for your support, love, hard work, great sacrifices, and dedication to my dream. You are loving, selfless, supportive, and my world. Dad, most of all I will miss working and laughing with you every day. Mom, I will cherish every encouraging note you have written me over the last 4 years, as well as your constant motivation. To my nephews, Tyler and Joseph, I hope as you get older, you will always remember the fun times at the restaurant, inside jokes and constant laughter. I feel it only appropriate that my last picture on Facebook be that of my inspiration for cooking and entertaining, Popie Lunsford. The master of cooking, king of one-liners, most energetic host, and life of every gathering. As he would say…”Let the mare see her colt.” Thank you everyone. It’s been one hell of a ride! Trey

Flashback: Last year, the restaurant was featured on Food Network's Cupcake Wars.

I can't say that I'm super close to Trey, but I know both loved the restaurant, but also spoke of the grind that it was, even with the support of his family.

I'm glad he got to live out his dream, and I'm sure he'll be successful at whatever he does next.
