PRODUCT INFORMATION

Does Carytown Cupcakes only bake cupcakes?
Cupcakes are our specialty and main focus, though we have been known to make some crazy concoctions from time to time :-). In addition to cupcakes, we also sell Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches and King of Pops popsicles.

Does Carytown Cupcakes offer vegan or gluten-free cupcakes?
Carytown Cupcakes does offer vegan cupcakes and gluten-free cupcakes. Please note that while we do take care to avoid cross-contamination, the same general prep area and ovens are used for all of our cupcakes, due to our small size.

Does Carytown Cupcakes offer sugar-free cupcakes?
We have not yet figured out a way to make an awesome tasting sugar-free cupcake, sorry!

Does Carytown Cupcakes sell nut-free cupcakes?
We provide many nut-free flavors. However, our kitchen is not nut-free. While we do take care to avoid cross-contamination, please note that the same general prep area and ovens are used for all of our cupcakes, due to our small size.

Does Carytown Cupcakes bake cakes?
Yes! For preorder only. You can order them here.

Does Carytown Cupcakes bake mini cupcakes?
Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to make mini cupcakes.

Does Carytown Cupcakes bake dog treats?
We do! We currently offer “pupcakes”.

How do I store my cupcakes?
We suggest that you refrigerate your cupcakes overnight and leave them at room temperature for 1 hour before serving. If you will be eating the cupcakes more than 24 after buying them, we suggest freezing them in an air-tight container until the day you serve them. To thaw the cupcakes, leave them at room temperature for 2 hours while still sealed in the air-tight container.
