we are green

Kara’s Cupcakes cares about our environment and the impact we make. For that reason, we’ve made many sustainable choices for our business.

We source local and organic ingredients for our cupcakes.

Our signature pink boxes are both compostable and recyclable. The utensils, cups, napkins and bags we use are also compostable therefore diverting a majority of waste from landfills.

We operate a delivery fleet comprised exclusively of Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV). Operating seven separate bakeries throughout the Bay Area allows us to deliver the freshest cupcakes to you, on short notice, via the most efficient routing.

Our bakeries are designed and built to green certification standards including:

• bamboo and plywood cabinetry, sustainable and Forest Stewardship
  Certified (FSC)
• all adhesives used in construction and installation are formaldehyde free
• Corian countertops certified by Greenguard Environmental Institute
• all paints, sealers and finishes contain zero volatile organic compounds
  (ZERO VOC)
• title 24 energy compliance and energy star appliances.

We are proud to use biodegradable cleaning products from San Francisco based Method and Oakland based Greenworks line from Clorox.
