Cupcake Alley, an artisanal bakery and coffee shop has opened its doors to Stirling after a recent relocation.
Their team celebrated the store’s opening on April 13, following the business’ move from Bo’ness to 37 Allan Park, Stirling.
The owner of Cupcake Alley, Alison McCalley, said: “Cupcake Alley is a small family-run business.
“We are really delighted to relocate from our wee place in Bo’ness to our new shop in Stirling.
“We see this as an opportunity to expand our product range and grow our business.
“In our first week, we have already met many lovely customers and we are really looking forward to building up relations with a wide and varied customer base.
“We really hope that people will pop into our friendly wee shop – they will always get a friendly welcome and we are sure they will enjoy our lovely coffee, freshly made sandwiches/toasties and our delicious home baking.
“This is an exciting time for us, and we look forward to working with the people of Stirling and surrounding area.”
McCalley’s son also works at the store, and she explained that both of her children studied at University of Stirling, which influenced their decision to move to the town.
The bakery sells custom designed cakes, a variety of baked goods and reasonably priced coffee. The team have designed cakes for a variety of events, including weddings and birthdays.
One happy customer said: “I’ve had a few custom cakes made from Cupcake Alley and everyone always comments on how delicious they are.
“I’ve never known cakes that are that tasty and look as good as they do.”
The store is part of Go Forth Stirling’s ‘I’M IN’ initiative, a scheme designed to encourage locals to support independent businesses in the area.
All businesses that are part of the ‘I’M IN’ initiative have a sticker on their storefront.
Orders for their products can be made in person at their new location or via social media.
