About Candy's Cupcakes

Hi, thank you for visiting our site!

So a little about us….

Candy's Cupcakes is a family-run business, owned by Candice Bannister (pictured below) and Oliver Bannister, based in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester with a team of 14 fantastic bakers, cake decorators and TikTok presenters.

We bake the most delicious cupcakes, cookies and cakes in our bakery. Decorated to your order requirements and also packaged for delivery nationwide! Working as a team we really do put passion and care into everything from baking to packing and delivery.

Sometimes we have to pinch ourselves that we have grown to be such a fun, creative team in a workspace with room to grow, ever since starting out in 2011 in a home kitchen.

Where it all began

Candice began making cupcakes and cakes as a hobby from her home kitchen in 2011 and grew a local loyal customer base via social media.

In February 2012, Candice decided to turn her passion for bakery and art into a business and gave up her full-time job in social housing. Candy's Cupcakes was open to all.

During the global pandemic in 2020, the online store began to grow in popularity with customers opting to ship gifts nationwide when they were unable to be with loved ones and friends. As a direct consequence, we were able to grow our staff team and expand our online shop.

Over the years we have been honoured to make a wide variety of bespoke orders, wedding cakes and large branded orders working with well-known companies and celebrities. We have also managed to secure our place in the renowned Manchester Christmas Markets!

Everything is baked using the finest available ingredients and baked fresh to order. There are no shortcuts. All our cake boxes are custom made and beautifully presented to offer the ultimate unboxing experience.

Tease your eyes with a quick look at our branded cupcakes, cupcakes, birthday cakes and baked treats.

Treat yourself... everyone loves a bit of cake x.
