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 portion of the proceeds from every ‘c-cup’ cause cupcake sold to help fund research for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation BC/Yukon Region and create a future without breast cancer.

The ‘c-cup’ cupcake is a vanilla cupcake finished with pink buttercream and decorated with the breast cancer ribbon in pink fondant. C-cup cause cupcake will be sold throughout the month of October at all Cupcakes Bakery locations.

Also, visit the Canadian Breast cancer Foundation BC/Yukon Region website at www.cbcf.org for additional information.

Thanks for visiting and we hope to see you in one of our 6 locations soon!
