Tanya Nafe owns Sweet Bouquets Cupcakes in Edmonton. On Monday, Nafe said she lost around $2,000 in cancelled orders and workshops due to the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing her bakery to close.
Faced with so many questions and not a lot of answers, she decided to sprinkle a little sweetness into the lives of others. “We just decided to give free cupcake bouquets to anyone elderly, 70 and over, who are in isolation,” Nafe said. “To tell them we’re thinking of you, we’re here, we might not be able to pop by and say hello.
This is just a token of us just saying that we know you’re there and we’re thinking of you.” The idea originated on Monday from her friend in England.
