Gluten, Peanut and Tree Nut Allergies and The Cupcake Conspiracy

We took a trip down to the King George today to check out the progress and wow is it looking great! Kim and I are so very excited to share our cupcakes with you and are counting down the days until we open.

Which is... drum roll please... less than a month away! We don't have an exact open date but our contractors assure us we'll be in the space and selling cupcakes in less than a month! We were so excited today we had to celebrate!

And how better to celebrate than to work on our gluten free cupcakes? We hadn't originally intended to offer gluten free cupcakes but we've had a lot of special requests and wanted to provide a delicious dessert option for people with gluten sensitivities. So Kim decided to test herself in the kitchen and has created two of most delicious cupcake recipes ever made! We're delighted to begin offering them by special order (give us a days notice and we'll have them ready for you when you arrive!) in store.

Speaking of allergies, we're completely nut free! Kim and I talk an awful lot about the things that are important to us. We are strongly committed to the environment, the community and providing the tastiest and freshest possible cupcake. While not all of us have a nut allergy, most of us have a friend or relative that is allergic to peanuts or tree nuts. Kim and I both love nuts but after talking with a few of our allergic friends, we decided to give up our peanut butter cup cupcake in order to ensure EVERYONE could enjoy our cupcakes. This means our cupcakes don't have peanuts or tree nuts in them, are produced in a completely nut free environment AND all of our ingredients are guaranteed nut free from our local suppliers.

We hope this decision will make your lives a little easier. You can provide any of our cupcakes at a wedding, a boardroom, a classroom or your dinner table and not worry one bit about providing a delicious nut free dessert to the people you love (and your coworkers!) And for the rest of you without nut allergies, we're sure you'll love all of our flavours so much you won't even notice we're nut free.

Happy Cupcakes!

The Cupcakes are coming!

Fall is fast approaching and we've been very busy at The Cupcake Conspiracy!

We've found an amazing space in the King George and will be opening our doors sometime in the next month. Don't worry, we'll let you know when you can check out the shop. In the meantime you can still order cupcakes by sending us an email (cupcakes@thecupcakeconspiracy.ca) or calling us (306.880.1872.)

As you may have noticed, the website has been looking much different lately! Our crack team of developers has been working hard to get a fabulous new website ready for our store opening. The website will include new pictures by Freeborn Photography, our complete flavour list (including upcoming flavours of the week,) a new blog, an events page and a very cool online order form.

If you just can't wait for us to open, why not come down and grab a cupcake at one of our upcoming events? We'll be at Willow Studio this Friday helping celebrate their one year anniversary. If you can't make it on Friday, come out to Paisley Party and Gift Boutique on Saturday for their grand opening. We'll be at both events and hope you can make it too.

We've also created a fan page on facebook (search for The Cupcake Conspiracy!) which will help us keep you updated on all of our exciting events and flavours. Speaking of flavours, Kim has been busy developing a VERY delicious list of flavours of the week for the first three months of business. If you've got a flavour suggestion, get it in quick and if we decide to use your flavour, you'll get a free cupcake and get to name your flavour!

We can't wait to open our doors and hope to see you soon.

Happy Cupcakes,
Christin and Kim
