After three years at Ruisseau Village in Plano, Butterfly Cakery is transitioning to a new spot on the east side of the city at 1201 E. Spring Creek Parkway, Suite 100, the former Great Harvest Bread Company location. Owner Brittany Ducray plans to close her current shop in January 2022 and reopen at the new address in February.
“Our biggest problem right now is that we’re located on the north side of the shopping center and no one can ever find us,” Ducray says. “For the first year and a half it was rough, and we were constantly on the phone telling people how to get here. We just don’t have good visibility. But the new place faces a Starbucks line and is next to a Five Guys, which is always busy.”
Focusing on wedding cakes, Ducray started her business from home 8 years ago when she was six months pregnant. Combining her sales background with her love of creativity paid off, and she rented a commercial kitchen before settling into a storefront in 2018.
Butterfly Cakery has several signature cakes that can be available within 24 hours. The designer cake factory also makes elegant tiered wedding cakes, intimate birthday cakes, and cakes that look exactly like very specific objects, including vintage model cars, a gallon of Blue Bell Ice Cream, or a pair of Air Jordan 1s.
“We have a lot of really talented designers,” Ducray says. “I try to train everyone to channel their inner self, and typically they find it.”
The cake factory is also a shop that sells cake by the slice along with other desserts like cookies, cupcakes, cake balls, and macarons. The new location will have a larger area for seating as well as a patio.
Butterfly Cakery will close at 3309 N. Central Expressway #340 in January 2022 and reopen at 1201 E. Spring Creek Parkway, Suite 100, in February 2022. butterflycakery.com.
