A bakery known for making some of the best cupcakes in the entire city has closed after 10 years in business and a valiant battle throughout the pandemic.
Prairie Girl Bakery once had five locations, including one in the now-deserted PATH, but had to close all of them permanently except for a King East flagship. Now, that final location has closed.
In a message posted to social media, the bakery wrote: We are sorry to be sharing the news that Prairie Girl Bakery has permanently closed as of today, January 5, 2020.
TORONTO After closing most of their locations last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a popular Toronto bakery has announced they will be shutting down permanently after 10 years in business. Prairie Girl Bakery, located near King and Victoria streets in the Financial District, opened in April 2011. “Since then we have been able to put a smile on thousands of faces with our cupcakes,” the business’ Facebook page said. There were five Prairie Girl Bakery locations across the city, but four closed in 2020. “Unfortunately due to the hardships that have come with COVID-19 we have had to scale back location-wise to just our flagship store at Victoria Street,” the Facebook page said.
