Halloween Cookies

Right in time for Halloween our famous ghoul cookies have hit the shelves at all 3 of our Cupcakes locations. Last year we sold out just days before Halloween. These delicious gingery treats are made from scratch and hand decorated by our very own pastry chef Aysha. Using only the best ingredients Aysha combines molasses, cinnamon and ginger keeping these lightly spiced cookies soft in texture and full of flavor. Enjoy!!!!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Heather’s mom, Kathie White, has been the friendly voice of the Cupcakes order desk since Heather & Lori opened Cupcakes on Denman in March 2002.

During a routine mammogram in June 2007, Kathie’s doctor diagnosed her with stage one breast cancer at the age of 59. She underwent an intensive bout of radiation therapy twice a day for 5 days and is now part of a research study group to help fight Breast Cancer. Kathie now takes Tamoxifen and will be considered cancer free in 5 years.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Cupcakes is proudly donating a $1 from every Breast Cancer Cause Cupcake sold to help fund research for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and create a future without breast cancer.

The Breast Cancer Cupcake is a pink vanilla cupcake finished with pink buttercream and decorated with the Breast Cancer Ribbon in pink fondant.
This is an annual cause cupcake in partnership with The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation to help create a future without breast cancer; the breast cancer cupcake will be sold throughout the month of October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) at all Cupcakes Bakery locations.
