The Cupcake Conspiracy takes on the environment. (Hint: environment wins!)

Well, we're down to the last few days before we open which means I've got a bit more time to blog. They've taken down the wooden partition in front of our space (Yay!) and they're just finishing up the last few details in our space, which means we should be in by the start of next week. (We're hoping!)

In the meantime, most of our boxes, promotional material and decorations are at my place. There's barely any room to walk around and every day I'm reminded of the choices we've made for our little shop.

At The Cupcake Conspiracy we believe very strongly in being as earth friendly as possible. All of our packaging is 100% recyclable and our boxes are made from natural paperboard that typically uses 25-30% less fibre than other box materials. Our box manufacturer recycles all scrap materials, doesn’t coat the boxes with harmful chemicals or use bleaches to process the pulp. Additionally, the fibre comes from SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) lumber. That’s lumber that has been collected and reforested utilizing environmentally friendly practices.

In our shop we've used as many environmentally friendly materials as we could and all the stickers, napkins and packaging materials are also reusable or recyclable. You’ll see recycle bins in our shop and we compost as much as possible. We only use environmentally friendly cleaning products in the shop and use energy star rated bakery equipment.

Outside of the shop, we're trying to be as responsible as possible too! We take the bus, ride our bike or walk to work nearly every day and most of our downtown deliveries are done on foot.
At The Cupcake Conspiracy, we source as many of our ingredients locally as possible. This means we will often have new cupcake flavours based on what is seasonally available at the market.

We’ve been very lucky to grow up in such a beautiful and abundant province and want to keep it this way for many generations to come.

We're so excited to open and hope to see you in the shop soon!

Happy Cupcakes,

Christin
