crave_cupcakes

Crave Cupcakes began with a passion for baking.

Inspired by fresh ingredients and family recipes, we learned the art of baking on our family farm in High River, Alberta alongside our mother and grandmothers. Growing up in a busy kitchen inspired an appetite for simple, sweet indulgences made from scratch that lead to the creation of Crave Cupcakes.

We opened the first Crave Bakery in 2004 with the desire to bring our lovefor all things homemade to the city of Calgary. Using our Grandmother’s chocolate cake and our mom’s vanilla cake recipes we went to work serving the best cupcakes we knew how to bake.

Today, in each of our bakeries, our bakers love to bake. For more information on our tasty cupcakes, cookies, cakes and other simple sweet indulgences from scratch, please visit our website at Crave Cupcakes.
