A powerful story of resilience, perseverance, and hope inspired by Chick-fil-A owner/operator Alex Gomez’s remarkable journey from poverty in Mexico to franchise ownership in Cartersville, Georgia

Cake Every Day is more than just a picture book. It is the story everyone needs to hear. From a life filled with loss, poverty, and separation, Alex Gomez never gave up hope. This story is proof that where you start doesn’t define where you can go.

No matter where you are…

On the street corner

With an umbrella,

Around the table with people you love

or with the key to the city in your hand…

You can have CAKE every day!

To anyone who has faced hard moments and chosen to make the best of them, let’s encourage each other to believe more in who we can become than who we are today. - Alex Gomez
