Cupid's Gourmet Cupcakes is the result of Niki Brinton's love for home baking combined with a little bit of a "mom-preneur" spirit. As the mother of two preschoolers, Cupid's was intended to provide some contact with the grown-up world during a two-year sabbatical from teaching high school math. Who knew it would grow into what it is today?

They say that everything happens for a reason. Perhaps the littlest Brinton being diagnosed with a peanut allergy was a sign that the business should go nut-free. So as of that diagnosis day, Cupid's said goodbye to peanut butter and pistachios, and hello to Anaphylaxis Canada for advice on food safety with respect to nut allergies.

Today, Cupid's employs some wonderful help, and is always accepting resumes from people interested in joining the team. At the current rate of growth, people will need to be continually added to the staff. Follow us on Twitter to stay up-to-date on Cupid's business moves.
