Positively Impact The Community Through Fair Trade
Hi GetAssist readers! My name is Candice and I run the Cocoa Tree Bake Shoppe in Olds, Alberta. At Cocoa Tree, we make cakes for all occasions—whether it’s a cake shaped like a hot dog or a four-tiered, sugar-flowered wedding cake. We started our small business in 2009, because my family was good at baking (an obvious requirement) and I had an artistic flare. Since then, we have expanded with Fair Trade coffee and tea, and we sell little treats like cupcakes daily. Our goal from the first day was to start a shop that used all-natural ingredients without preservatives. We wanted to go back to the basics of baking, and supporting Fair Trade helps us further that mission.
