Each branch is a unique place of cupcake delight as Sonja Ocampo shares, "The design of the store in Serendra was really inspired by New York and all the cupcakes store I visited then. We then refreshed and updated the look of the Glorietta store, made it a little bit more grown-up. It's still nostalgic, but it's more current at the same time. It now has more of an industrial vibe, partnered with a sustainable style. We were really drawn to native, recycled, and repurposed materials, so we used upcycled elements such as salvaged wood, antique bricks, and corrugated container metal sheets."

To celebrate its fourth and biggest, branch, Cupcakes by Sonja announced a special partnership with Move.Org. This joint advocacy spreads a #sweetcause by supporting the non-profit group in their feeding programs.
