Über uns
When dreams come true!
There are many in England – but in Austria, she is the first professional cake designer. As a successful graphic designer for many years, Renate Gruber combines her pronounced sense for beauty and refinement with culinary delight. Her personal focus is on the design of cakes and, of course, cupcakes! She is supported by an excellent team that lovingly implements the vision of CupCakes Wien daily!
"Renate Gruber and her team are committed to sustainable working practices, natural raw materials, and, wherever possible, regional products. Immerse yourself in the world of CupCakes Wien and let us pamper you."
How it all began!
In 2010, Renate Gruber realized her big dream of owning her own business with the "CupCakes Wien" bakery at Josefstädterstraße 17 in Vienna's 8th district. But soon the small, sweet shop became too cramped, and a new location was sought and found at Albertgasse 17. There is now a large, bright bakery where you can watch the confectioners bake and decorate. Directly connected is our cozy café with 3 tables and a romantic garden. Our shop is barrier-free!
Sustainability
Where and how we work
Our cupcakes are made entirely in the 8th district of Vienna, in our bakery at Albertgasse 17. With large windows facing the street, our bakery is visible from the outside. So, if you want to watch us at work, you are always welcome to do so :-) We believe in transparency and a beautiful, bright workplace for our employees. Because only those who feel comfortable will enjoy being with us and baking delicious cupcakes!
How We Work
What we process
We attach great importance to the origin of the raw materials we process. In particular, we care about the living conditions of the animals whose products we use. For example, we exclusively use 0-AT eggs from an organic farm (Biohof Wagner) in Lower Austria. Also, for milk and dairy products such as butter or curd cheese, we avoid cheap imported products from abroad and buy from local, nearby dairies. For all those who want to completely abstain from consuming animal products and derivatives, we offer a comprehensive and extremely delicious vegan cupcake assortment! But the origin of plant-based foods is also important to us! For example, the poppy seeds we process come from the beautiful Waldviertel region and are grown and processed there by the Weinmann family, a small, fine family business (in Armschlag). Chemicals in the form of plasticizers, preservatives, flavor enhancers, etc. have no place in our cupcakes! That's why our cupcakes are absolute fresh products and must be stored continuously in the refrigerator until consumption (recommended shelf life with absolutely consistent quality is 24 hours).
How much we process
Our ingredients and labor are precious. Therefore, we strive to waste as little as possible. So, if there is a higher demand for a particular cupcake flavor on a given day, it's possible that it will sell out quickly. The only way to avoid a sell-out would be to produce much more than we sell – and thus deliberately waste precious food. We ask for your understanding that we cannot bring ourselves to do that! (Generally, we put leftover cupcakes on the "Too Good to Go" app the next day - https://toogoodtogo.at/) To always get exactly the cupcakes you want, pre-ordering through our webshop is possible!
