Fairy Cakes puts gourmet vegan cupcakes on the map

With conventional cupcake shops very rarely providing vegan or gluten-free options—let alone vegan or gluten-free options that actually taste good—dietary-restricted cupcake lovers are often left without dessert. But with the opening of Fairy Cakes, a gourmet vegan cupcakery on Fraser Street in Vancouver, customers with specific dietary needs now have a place to indulge.

Fairy Cakes is committed to environmental sustainability and ethical practices, sourcing local, organic and Fair Trade ingredients whenever possible.

Recognizing the unique value and great product that Fairy Cakes would provide to the community, Vancity stepped in with a microloan to help get the cupcakery off the ground, as well as business advice and help with promotion.
