About us

Melissa and Michele are New Orleans natives and the sister duo of the magical CupCake Fairies. The two have been on this majestic journey since 2009. It is funny how a random request to bake 300 cupcakes in less than 24 hours for a community event turned into a world wind of amazing experiences. Best known for their appearance on the Food Network's top show “Cupcake Wars”, the CupCake Fairies confections has also been part of the historic French Market, the Riverwalk, Essence Gospel Show, celebrity parties, the Super Bowl, local and national media including books, videos and news.

The Fairies state, “We didn't go looking for cupcakes, cupcakes found us!” With 15 years in the business, the CupCake Fairies are now the oldest cupcake business in New Orleans. Having embarked for nearly 8 years on the historic Bayou Road, CupCake Fairies continues to honor the legacy of all who have come before. The Fairies offers their delectable confections such as; FairyCakes, cakes, pies, bread pudding, cookies and much more.

It is the love that these sisters have for their family, community and CupCake Fairies that gives the perfect balance to this sisterhood and professional synergy these Fairies share. “There's a taste of magic in every bite!”
