Until now, Ottawa has been devoid of a place to indulge in cupcake decadence – but times may be changing. Online baking entrepreneurs Julie and Elizabeth of The Ottawa Cupcakery have dropped me a line to share in their latest news. It seems these two smart cookies have stirred up a sweet deal with Diane, owner of the recently opened Westboro hotspot The Candy Store.
Apparently, a limited number of their wicked good cupcakes will now be available weekends this lovely specialty store.
More often than any other Google search, “Ottawa” + “cupcake” draws curious readers to girlaboutotown.com. While not exactly scientific market research, I think this steady stream of cupcake seekers is pretty sound evidence of unmet demand and unlimited potential.
The Candy Store, with its delectable decor and delicious assortment of delights, is a great addition to Ottawa’s boutique scene. By adding a weekend measure of cupcake pleasure to this mix, these three ladies may well have hit upon a winning recipe for satisfying success.
I’m already planning my trip westward for cupcakes. No doubt I’ll come across some candy too…
Ottawa Open Monday to Saturday
10:00 am – 8:00 pm Sunday 11:00 am -5:00 pm

I passed by this store not too long ago and am I ever PO’ed I didn’t stop in! It’s gorgeous!!!
No kidding eh? I couldn’t make it this past weekend, but am planning a stop on Saturday. I’m hoping they’ve got my favourite Red Velvets…
Apparently Heaven’s to Betsy on Wellington is also carrying sweets of the cupcake variety as of late!
Perfect. I will hit both, since they’re in the same general vicinity.
Would that be piggy of me? Oh well. This girlaboutOtown has limited time, so I’ll just have to double up. Or share. tee hee!
This is all good news.
Stay tuned…
I was in Heaven’s to Betsy a few weeks ago – they moved recently, close to Somerset. Their new store is gorgeous too. I just realized they had a glass display case at the back that was empty – I’m guessing it now houses cupcakes?
I didn’t realize Heaven’s to Betsy had moved. Thanks for the tip.
I’m curious about whether they have cupcakes all week long, or just on weekends. I will have to find out.
I promise to report back when I have completed Mission: Cupcake.
Oh my goodness Ottawa is finally a real city …lol I am definitely going this Saturday night or Sunday
There’s a new cupcake company opening in Ottawa Spring 2009. “LITTLE CAKES”….stay tuned!!
