Twist Cupcakery Announces Closing

Downtown Dayton’s Twist Cupcakery owner Kate River shared some bittersweet news on her Facebook page this morning:

“After an incredible journey filled with delicious memories and sweet moments, we have decided to close our bakery to make way for exciting new life adventures.

Over the past 8.5 years, we’ve had the privilege of serving you, and it has been an incredible journey. We want to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and patronage, it has meant the world to us.”

Your smiles, celebrations, and shared moments with our cupcakes and cakes have been the highlight of our bakery’s story. We’ve been honored to be a part of your lives and special occasions.

I personally want to extend my deepest appreciation to my amazing team,who have weathered the storm through sunshine and cloudy days. Their dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional customer service and crafting the most amazing quality products have been the backbone of our success. Each member of the team has poured their heart and soul into creating desserts that not only tasted delightful but were crafted with love.”

The Bakery has received national accolades over the years. In 2018, Delish.com named Twist Cupcakery “The Best Cupcake Shop in Every State.” In 2021 the foodie web site, Eat This, Not That!, raved about Twist Cupcakery:

“You would be hard-pressed to find anything less than a five-star review on Twist Cupcakery’s Yelp page, and for good reason. Located in downtown Dayton, this unassuming joint churns out unique flavors like peanut butter Oreo and the popular apple pie cupcake,” the Eat This, Not That! web site said.

Kate opened the brick-and-mortar business 2015, after a 3 year run operating as a home based bakery. SHe participated in the Downtown Dayton’s Activated Spaces’ Pop-Up Project with the hep of a kickstarter. The bakery earned a reputation for amazing sweet treats and during the pandemic their line of cupcakes in a jar became a big hit, allowing folks to send “Happiness in a jar, wherever you are.” Each jar included 2 full size cupcakes and all the toppings packaged in a re-usable half pint glass jar.

Kate announced in that Facebook post “They will begin the liquidation of our equipment, furniture, and bakeware starting next week, if you have you eye on anything in particular, please reach out via email immediately as all items will be first come first serve and we will not be able to hold any items. This is a chance for you to own a piece of Twist Cupcakery history. Come by and browse through our collection; you may find a cherished item to keep. Our last day open with cupcakes will be Saturday October 14th and we will continue our regular business hours until them. With that being said,we will unfortunately not be able to accommodate any further cake orders and will be limited in the cupcake orders that we will be able to accept.”
