A Heartfelt Goodbye to What the Cupcakes

What the Cupcakes, a popular bakery in downtown Avon, closed last week as owner Renee Collins and husband Jeff, have expanded their family with the adoption of five-year old nephew, Chase, and want more family time.

Renee held a farewell sale on June 4 and donated all proceeds to charity. Mayor Bryan Jensen was on hand to purchase one of the last of the delights to roll out of the oven!

Renee is well-known for her heart for the community, having started the Blessing Boxes program. Now, she is advocating through a program called “Chance for Safe Visits, Foster & Kinship.” She is helping to find safe spaces for families to reunite their kinships with the goal of providing stress-free visitations.
